Ever heard about this Sarazen Gene thing? People kept saying it does wonders for your health. So I figured, why not try it myself? Let me break down what I did step by step.
The Hype Got Me Curious
First off, I’m no scientist. Just a regular guy who reads stuff online. Saw posts everywhere claiming the Sarazen Gene boosts your immune system like crazy. Sounded too good to be true, but my allergies were kicking my butt last winter, so I thought screw it – let’s test this properly.
How I Actually Tested It
Started simple: tracked my usual habits for two weeks before any changes. Wrote down:
- How many colds I caught last year
- Daily energy levels (1-10 scale)
- Sleep quality
- Gut issues (IBS flare-ups count)
Then came the gene part. Spent $120 on one of those mail-in DNA kits. Swabbed my cheek like I was collecting evidence, mailed it off. While waiting, I dug into research papers. Big mistake – felt like reading alien language. Kept it simple instead: focused on practical changes the reports recommended for my gene type.
The Real Changes I Made
When results arrived, my “Sarazen profile” suggested three main things:
- Cut dairy completely (even though cheese is life)
- Double leafy greens (ate spinach like Popeye)
- Switch cardio for strength training (bye-bye treadmill)
Stuck to this for 90 days straight. Made a spreadsheet tracking symptoms. First month sucked – felt weaker without carbs, almost quit. But around week 6? Weird shifts started happening:
- Seasonal allergies decreased
- Rarely hit that 3PM energy crash
- Only one minor cold during flu season
Surprises and Skepticism
Here’s the kicker though. Talked to a doctor friend who said “genes don’t change – lifestyle does”. Realized most benefits came from the diet/exercise shifts, not magic DNA. The Sarazen stuff just pushed me to commit. Felt slightly ripped off about the $120 test when common sense tweaks did the heavy lifting.
Final take? If you actually follow the protocols religiously, your health might improve. But is it the gene or just better habits? Jury’s still out in my book.
