Circle DNA Test | 500+ Reports on Physical, Mental, Behavioral & Behavioral Well-being
hey what’s up kanye kids a month ago circle dna sent me a dna test kit circle dna is a company based in hong kong that specializes in dna tests and they’ve got four different kinds so the first one is called vital dna test which gives you insights on your appropriate diet exercise and lifestyle there’s also the health dna test which is centered around your health risks the family planning dna test gives you insights on the different kinds of conditions that you could possibly pass on to your kids and finally we have the premium dna test which is what i got which includes all the different reports so there are over 500 different reports across over 20 different categories the premium test kit is really sleek it comes in this black box and in that black box is a letter um personally signed by their ceo and co-founder danny young it also comes with a circle dna bracelet very few people have actually taken a dna test so you should feel proud if you ever do take the test [Music] so what happens is you swab your inner cheeks 10 times on the left side and 10 times on the right side then after that you put the swab into a tube break the stick and seal the tube now the return process itself is also pretty straightforward it’s very convenient actually to schedule a return shipping through fedex because the package has already been pre-paid all you have to do is put the tube back into the plastic bag and put the plastic bag into the box then you put the box into your fedex package which comes with your dna test kit so after maybe a good 30 days that’s when the results came out and yes i’m pretty excited to go through the details of my report with you guys [Music] a month later we now have the results on the circle dna app the report summary includes 20 different categories including dietary sensitivity so these are the different kinds of things that my body doesn’t really respond well to nutritional needs apparently i need more of those omega-3 and iodine i think i need a bit more fish in my diet also something to do with my well-being so looks like everything is fine and i have a normal lifespan while i get enough sleep it seems that my body doesn’t really respond well to stress i am apparently allergic to [Music] dust pesticide and automobile pollution so the dust one is not really a surprise for me i already know this i sneeze whenever there’s like dust particles flying around in the air um but the pesticide one is new to me so i usually sneeze whenever i drink coffee but not all kinds of coffee beans so it may have something to do with pesticide i don’t know there’s also skin sensitivity um and it seems that i am at risk of oxidative stress cellulite formation and wrinkle formation although it also does say that my skin age is pretty young the report also says that i should consider strength training and not so much of cardio um this is something that i kind of suspected because of my build like it’s always been easy for me to generate muscle mass um and i really hate cardio like my endurance is bad but when it comes to lifting i find it a lot easier to do those um like fewer heavier reps i had a negative image of weightlifting like i didn’t think it was meant for girls like because we could possibly bulk up like a she-hulk but then later on when i joined ufc and started doing weight lifting i noticed that i did gain muscle mass and it boosted my metabolism but i did bulk up to a certain extent i i looked strong um the report also says something about your success traits your music and dance abilities and you know what they say that you know it’s a talent right and it’s true it is apparently in your genes um there’s also your my ancestry so surprise surprise i’m mostly east asian but what is surprising is that i i am two percent vietnamese um not really sure which side that’s from personality traits i’m likely to be reserved and likely to have a sensitive yet calm personality what happened i guess when i was younger i used to be like a really shy quiet kid i was more introverted lost in thought and uh i always found myself my head was always up in the clouds you could say and then maybe around college or when i started my career that’s when i came out of my shell and now i’m you can’t shut me up like right and i wouldn’t really say that i’m i don’t think i’ve got a calm personality i have a very explosive personality so i don’t know i don’t know guys maybe you need to revisit your algorithm for my behavioral traits i’m less likely to be obsessed with washing and cleaning i’m also less like to be addicted to smoking alcohol food and altruism okay so for my physical traits i am likely to have a high pain sensitivity less likely to have photic sneeze reflex some people sneeze whenever they look at the sun so thankfully i don’t have this um i am likely to have a normal sense of smell okay so for my gender traits um looks like everything is normal i am a normal female i am also less likely to be a thrill seeker it’s actually due to some sexual hormones so that’s why some people end up becoming adrenaline junkies okay so for family planning um the test goes through 163 different types of inherited conditions none of which i have so that’s a good thing i’m not going to pass on anything negative to my kid cancer risks okay so it turns out they already found a mutation called rad51c it doesn’t mean that i have cancer but that i am likely to develop cancer later on in life because of this gene mutation that they found um but isn’t that something that you could pass on to your kid as well i don’t know did i get this from my parents okay so the report also includes mental health risks so it looks like i’m pretty normal or average for common health risks same i’m not really at risk of any of these comorbidities like stroke heart disease obesity for disease risks it looks like i may be susceptible to four chronic periodontitis i think that’s got something to do with the gums tooth decay flu and deep vein thrombosis isn’t that like spider veins um so yeah for the first two this is probably the reason why i uh really look forward to going to see my dentist twice a year i have a pretty good relationship with my dentist for drug response this basically tells us what kind of um pharmaceutical products will probably not react well with you so for me there are 25 kind of drugs that i should watch out for but usually they’re maintenance drugs like i’m not taking any of these right now honestly the only thing i’m taking is like goalie gummies and i think that’s it so if we wanted to see details we could click through these uh different reports or categories to see the details so for example this is pretty interesting so i have high creativity and high math skills when i was in high school i remember taking a personality test and that was for us trying to determine what kind of career path we could possibly go on i remember these two things popping up as well right like at the time i thought creativity meant artistic side but here what they mean by creativity isn’t necessarily artistic in nature you could be into the sciences like problem solving creatively it was only recently that i embraced my mathematical skills like i used to shy away from math but then in college i took a math intensive course and i came to enjoy it so in terms of sleep if you go into the details of it something that stands out for me is the chronotype i am a night owl and my mom always said that oh people who would take on like a night shift or sleep really late are more likely to get heart disease etc but the thing is i get enough sleep i i often sleep like nine to 10 hours a day right why would i be at risk of heart disease and in terms of my diet um this kind of dna test actually does tell you that not all diets are for everyone so i remember that time that i did a keto diet and it just didn’t work for me uh alcohol sensitivity technically people who drink like one glass of let’s say wine are actually better off than people who don’t drink alcohol at all but they also did say that if you currently don’t drink alcohol you might as well just just don’t start drinking alcohol but if you already are drinking alcohol anyway um drinking one glass a day is actually better for your heart um one thing that’s surprising for me is caffeine sensitivity it says i have normal sensitivity which i find odd because normally when i drink espresso or any cup of coffee whether it’s cappuccino a latte a flat white i end up becoming jittery and i i’m basically a chipmunk the entire day i like how some of these results also give you additional information to debunk certain myths and also validate things that we suspect to be true so meats can release toxins at high heat which is why we should avoid anything charred or barbecued because any any red meat that is charred are actually carcinogenic [Music] next i’m scheduling myself for a free 30-minute genetic counseling with one of their specialists i i can also do the same for a health consultant but i’ll probably do that later so for the genetic counseling i have a few questions for them is a dna sample a snapshot of your life today can it change over time or does the dna sample hold true for your entire life also because circle dna went beyond physical traits like including um behavioral or personality traits does that then mean that in the argument between nature and nurture it’s always nature because then if there is a possibility of nurture winning in that argument um could i then take another dna test and have a different result or will the result always be the same if the dna test says that i have a predisposition to become this can i fight my nature can i actually fight my nature or will i always be boxed within that what do you guys think if you have any questions i’d like to get your thoughts in the comments below and maybe i can include them when i consult with a genetics counselor anyway that’s all i have for now thank you so much for watching if you guys found this video interesting and helpful subscribe [Music] you
What can your genes tell you about who you are as a person? Apart from Ancestry, Disease Risk and Cancer Risk, can it define your personality and behavior as well? Is talent really passed on? What kind of diet and exercise are suitable for you? Take action on your lifestyle based on the insights from your Circle DNA Test.
