With the convergence of genomics and AI, MAXIOM, and DNAthlete are bringing a next-generation platform to market that integrates an individual's genetic blueprint with real-time wearable, biomarker, and behavioral data. The result: ultra-personalized health, performance, and longevity guidance that adapts continuously to each user. This is the future of human optimization and AI as a force for human flourishing, globally.
"This is more than a collaboration. It's a moonshot for humanity's potential," said Daniel Martin, CEO of DNAthlete AG, which invested in MAXIOM last month. "When you combine the power of DNA with adaptive AI—you don't just optimize performance. You change lives."
MAXIOM, known for its elite partnerships and leading AI-powered human optimization platform, brings to the table its proprietary engine, Max—an adaptive, human-centered intelligence trained exclusively on peer-reviewed science and billions of data sets. When paired with DNA insights, Max will deliver hyper-personalized protocols for exercise, nutrition, recovery, performance, and long-term healthspan.
'We believe that inside each of us is the blueprint for the best of us,' said Eric Harr, Co-Founder & CEO of MAXIOM. 'And while the promise of DNA and AI working in harmony is profound, we're still in the early stages of unlocking its full potential. There are important questions to answer and real work ahead—but we couldn't ask for a better partner than DNAthlete. This partnership is about more than optimization—it's about redefining what it means to live, feel, and perform at your highest level.'
The partnership has been backed and tested by some of the world's top athletes.
'I've learned that the difference between good and great lies in the details,' said Laura Philipp, the current Ironman World Record Holder. 'For too long, training and health guidance have been generic—especially for women. With DNA and AI working together, we're finally entering an era of truly personalized insight and support. This is the future of performance—and it's long overdue.'
Kristian Blummenfelt, Olympic Gold Medalist and Ironman World Champion said: "This technology is a game-changer. We've always trained hard—now we train smart. For me, this is how we push the boundaries of what's possible. This is the future of human optimization."
Gustav Iden, Ironman 70.3 World Champion, added: "The idea that my DNA can shape my training in real-time through AI is incredibly powerful. This partnership between MAXIOM and DNAthlete is going to change everything."
Benefits of the MAXIOM x DNAthlete Platform Include:
Hyper-personalized training and recovery insights
DNA-informed nutritional recommendations
Stress, sleep, and injury prevention
Real-time adaptation based on biometric inputs
Long-term healthspan and aging insights
Leading in Trust and Security
Learning from the mistakes of previous consumer DNA companies, MAXIOM and DNAthlete are building this platform with military-grade security and strict consent protocols. No data will be sold, shared, or exploited. Users remain in full control of their genetic and personal data, always.
"We are not repeating the mistakes of the past," said Daniel Martin. "We're setting a new gold standard for data integrity, transparency, and protection. Privacy is not a feature—it's a foundation."
The MAXIOM x DNAthlete platform is being tested by World Champions Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, and Laura Philip. The system is being pre-released to 1,000 people starting today at: The Champion's Circle.

Prime Roots Launches First Plant-Based Whole Cut Deli Meats That Meat Eaters Chose Over Traditional Meat in Blind Taste Tests
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After seven years of research and development, Prime Roots, the Berkeley-based pioneer in clean-label plant-based meats, has announced a major leap forward in the deli category. Using proprietary mycelium-based whole food protein, Prime Roots is now offering a new line of upgraded plant-based deli meats that are sliced fresh at the deli counter and—according to third-party blind taste tests—are preferred by a majority of meat eaters who would switch to Prime Roots over conventional deli meats. The technological breakthrough positions Prime Roots as a leader in the growing category of better-for-you deli options. Prime Roots' updated recipes are among the only deli meats on the market that are nitrate-free, cholesterol-free, and packed with complete protein—making them a heart-healthy, clean-label alternative. Recent studies also show that fungi-based proteins used by Prime Roots can build muscle more effectively than animal-based proteins such as milk, offering both functional and nutritional advantages. 'As a new-school deli brand, we've always been committed to giving people the flavor and health benefits they expect from their favorite deli classics,' said Kimberlie Le, Co-Founder of Prime Roots. 'We're thrilled to unveil our upgraded recipes and new packaging that has been refined over years of feedback and that will drive real results. With some of our retail partners reporting that Prime Roots is driving 20% growth in deli sales – we're not just taking share—we're growing the category.' With consumers increasingly concerned about preservatives and additives—especially nitrates, which remain classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization—Prime Roots offers a differentiated, clean-label option in a category long overdue for innovation. Over 77% of consumers are looking to eat healthier and Prime Roots is a part of that movement at the deli meat counter. Prime Roots' products are unique in the deli delivering the flavor of meat but having absolutely no nitrates, not even deceptively hidden nitrates from sources such as celery salt. Prime Roots' upgraded product lineup includes: Smoked Turkey Cracked Pepper Turkey Smoked Ham Black Forest Ham Salami Cupping Pizza Pepperoni Bacon Each product is made from a complete whole food protein and designed to be sliced fresh using commercial deli slicers, making them suitable for use in both delis and restaurants. They can be served hot or cold and are gluten-free, soy-free, GMO-free, nitrate-free, and free from artificial ingredients. Beyond taste and health, Prime Roots delivers a meaningful environmental impact with 91% fewer carbon emissions, 92% less water usage, and 89% lower water eutrophication compared to traditional meat production. Prime Roots is now available at hundreds of locations including delis, grocery stores, and restaurants across 30+ states. To find Prime Roots near you, visit About Prime Roots Founded in 2017 in Berkeley, California, Prime Roots was created by meat eaters—for all eaters—on a mission to deliver killer taste that won't kill you.
