What our customers say
The instructions were easy to understand and it was really straightforward to post which I appreciated, having a busy lifestyle and not much time. When the results came through, I found the dashboard easy to navigate and understand – there was so much more information than I anticipated. I liked how the results were broken down by testing area and the bespoke recommended foods and exercises were useful and a nice addition I didn’t expect – it’s made me think differently about my eating patterns and exercise habits and I’ll definitely be adopting some of the advice into my daily routine.
