As we age, the health challenges we face become more complex—and more personal. Yet the healthcare system has long treated aging populations with a one-size-fits-all approach. At Ascend Performance Training, we believe it’s time for something smarter, something personal. That’s where genetic testing comes in.
Why Preventive Care Is No Longer Optional
Preventive care isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the most powerful weapon we have in reducing hospitalizations, improving quality of life, and extending healthy years. According to the CDC, 90% of the nation’s $4.1 trillion in annual healthcare expenditures are for people with chronic and mental health conditions. Early detection, targeted prevention, and personalized interventions could dramatically shift those numbers.
But how do we know what you need to prevent?
Enter: Your DNA
Using genetic testing, we can identify individual predispositions to conditions like:
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia
Osteoporosis and fracture risk
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes
Inflammatory conditions
We also uncover how your body responds to nutrients, physical activity, and stress. With this insight, we create tailored wellness strategies that actually work—not just for 20-somethings, but for seniors in their 60s, 70s, and beyond.
According to a 2021 study in Frontiers in Genetics, integrating genomics into care plans for older adults improves medication response, reduces adverse events, and enhances functional outcomes.
The SAGE Solution: Personalized Care for Seniors
At Ascend, we’ve built SAGE (Seniors Aging Growing Empowered)—a customized wellness program powered by GenePlanet genetic testing, biomechanics, and data-backed movement plans. We’ve already seen life-changing results in senior communities:
Residents with fall risk regain stability and independence
Memory and mood improvements after optimized nutrition and movement
Reduced pain and inflammation through targeted lifestyle changes
This isn’t hypothetical—it’s already happening. Whether you're 65 or 85, your body still holds the blueprint for wellness. We're here to read it.
Why GenePlanet?
We trust GenePlanet because their science is rock solid, and their insights are comprehensive. From metabolic health to vitamin absorption, GenePlanet gives us the precision we need to build effective wellness plans for any age.
