A holistic approach to physical health—from exercising regularly to maintaining proper dietary and sleeping habits—is key to maintaining a sustainable fast-paced lifestyle. And while many technologies and applications have been developed to empower individuals, there’s another app that will help nitpicking people navigate through the lifestyle they want: myDNA Pro, an easy-to-use mobile app with features that provide personalized health and wellness recommendations based on your DNA makeup.

The myDNA Pro mobile app is an added benefit available to all customers of Pru Life UK’s myDNA Pro Bundle. Via a nutrigenomic test, the program assesses a person’s health risks and provides a comprehensive report that explains the way the individual responds to food and nutrients based on their genetic makeup.

To complement the report, the myDNA Pro mobile app also allows users to set up a one-time 30-minute phone call with a nutrition expert who will interpret the results and make personalized wellness recommendations.

The program includes exercise routines, right food portion sizes or combinations that suit their body composition, and reaction to certain food and response to physical stressors

In addition, a health coach can be consulted via chat where users can seek guidance on their health goals. The app also features a food photo diary, which can be reviewed by the health coach for meals’ nutritional benefits.

Moreover, the health coach can guide users through a unique 16-week lifestyle program using the information generated from their DNA. The program includes exercise routines, right food portion sizes or combinations that suit their body composition, and reaction to certain food and response to physical stressors.

“Access to reliable diet and exercise routines is now easier with the myDNA Pro mobile app. This tool helps people who are determined to achieve their wellness goals to stay well-informed and motivated,” says Allan Tumbaga, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Pru Life UK.
