I tried a genetics test that told me how I should eat and work out based on my DNA - and it was frighteningly accurate

All that information I got from those tests was just the beginning. More recently, I wanted to take my genes a step further.
Pathway Genomics, which has been around since 2008, offers tests that cover everything from liquid biopsies (tests that look for circulating tumor cells in the blood) to tests that tell you how your body will interact with a certain medication.
One of its most popular tests, called Fit, takes a look at a subset of genes to give you a snapshot of how your body might respond to food and exercise based on your genetic makeup.
At $599, it's not the cheapest test out there, but I felt like this test was sometimes reading my mind:
