Dr. Daniel Meyersfeld completed his PhD in molecular biology at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, in 2005. Following two years’ post-doctoral research Daniel established DNAlysis, a company dedicated to bridging the gap between institute-based scientific research, and direct benefits to the consumer.
Based on his DNA Health test results, Daniel needs to pay particular attention to his Bone Health, and his Vitamin B intake is seriously inadequate. To lose weight he requires a very low fat diet and frequent periods of high-intensity exercise. He fits in several spinning classes a week, but is still having a hard time accepting that a round of golf is not high-intensity exercise.
