What your DNA actually says about training.
It will not tell you to skip leg day. The fitness section reads the replicated markers behind muscle fiber type, aerobic response, and connective tissue, states each effect honestly, and links the study behind every card.
What this part of the report reads
These are real findings from the report, not a menu of promises. Every card shows your genotype, states the effect honestly, and links the study it comes from.
Muscle fiber type. The best-known sports gene: a power-vs-endurance lean in fast-twitch muscle, worth reading honestly rather than as a verdict.
VO2max and endurance response. Leans in aerobic capacity and how it tends to respond to endurance training.
Fat oxidation. How readily your muscles burn fat for fuel during long, steady work.
Tendon and ligament resilience. Connective-tissue variants linked to strain tendency, useful context for how carefully you ramp up load.
Strength and lean mass. Small leans in grip strength and lean body mass.
Sprint and power leans. Markers enriched in power athletes, read with honest effect sizes.
Blood pressure and hormones. ACE activity, blood pressure leans, and testosterone and SHBG levels, context for how your body responds to hard training.
How it works
Download your raw file
From 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, Genotek, or any lab that exports VCF. Our raw file guide shows where to click.
Your browser reads it
The file never leaves your device. Only the small set of markers the report uses is sent to build your report.
Read it, then talk to it
Connect the report to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Whoop Coach and ask questions in plain language.
Then you just ask
Connect the report to your AI once, and questions sound like this:
The honest part
Questions people ask
Can DNA tell me the best sport for me?
No. Elite performance is stacked genetics plus years of training, and a consumer report cannot pick your sport. What it can do is show your honest leans, fiber type, aerobic response, connective tissue, so you train with them instead of against them.
Does ACTN3 decide whether I can build muscle?
No. Everyone builds muscle with progressive training. ACTN3 shifts the flavor of your ceiling slightly, and the report states that effect at its real size.
Do I have to upload my raw DNA file?
No. Your browser reads the file on your own device and sends only the small set of markers the report uses. The raw file itself is never uploaded or stored.
How much does it cost?
The analysis is free: drop your raw DNA file on helisoma.com and see real insights with no account. The full report is a one-time $49 payment with no subscription.
Also in the report
Fitness is one section. The same report reads your sleep and caffeine profile and your nutrition markers, plus stress, mood, and longevity markers.
