About Me
Hi, I'm Ethan Turner.
​
My background is that of small beginnings.
​
Being bought up in a New Zealand ex-gold mining town of around 50 people, my small stature meant that I had to work smarter, as well as harder to take my place in the world.
​
I always wanted to become a mental, and physical giant.
​
This outlook fostered a focused work ethic, with a disciplined drive to learn and succeed.
​
What I discovered was that exposure and experimentation with new ideas, leads to refined habits.
Which when applied consistently, creates a compounding effect resulting in many small successes over time.​
When you ascend to the apex of your chosen summit,
what will you say next when you’ve done it?
My curiosity led me to a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Canterbury, and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science with Honours in Reproduction, Genetics and Development, from the University of Otago.
​
During my undergraduate, I settled my childhood score of standing on, and eventually beside the shoulders of giants. Learning how to build my physique through weight lifting, I ultimately took my 60kg ectomorphic frame, to a peak of 76kg.
Achieving a high level of conditioning does not only happen through mental or physical training techniques, but considered nutrition management, sound sleep hygiene practices, and a growth mindset to constantly redefine your limits.
​​
I eventually applied my mind to benefit the pharmaceutical industry. Where I manufactured vaccines by harnessing bacterial, viral, protozoan, fungal and mammalian cell culture technologies, for a decade across New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Generate your Optimal self
​I have now reached a nexus point, where the convergence of my many schools of thought have coalesced to create the framework known as Genoptimal.
​
Genoptimal stands to help you generate your optimal self.
​
Every person has a unique genetic hand that they've been dealt, which is played according to the environment they find themselves in.
This dynamic interplay between genetic nature, and environmental nurture, results in your observable experience, or phenotypic expression.
This expression “above the genes” is known as epigenetics.
​
Genoptimal provides you with your own unique user manual. Sequencing over 500 of your genes, and framing these within a range of health and lifestyle panels across nutrition, supplementation, sleep, athletic performance, environmental detoxification, and hormones.
These panels provide an epigenetic insight into your lifestyle experiences. Empowering you with the knowledge and coaching support to chart your personal road map of how you can best tailor your life to reach your goals, and elevate your mind and body to generate your optimal self.
