Zulu Performance: Precision Health for Athletes and High Performers
Athletic performance involves more than effort. Research suggests genetic factors influence muscle composition, recovery rate, injury susceptibility, and how your body responds to different types of training. Zulu Performance is designed for athletes and high performers who want to understand these tendencies and use them as context for smarter training decisions.
​
Our medical team interprets your results and translates them into training guidance and a performance nutrition plan aligned with your biology. Zulu Performance is available through our Calgary clinic, serving clients locally and across Canada.
A physician-supervised solution that connects your DNA and metabolism to training, recovery and performance nutrition.
The Zulu Performance Advantage
Integrated Testing
Zulu Performance combines performance-focused lifestyle DNA testing and metabolic analysis in a single coordinated program. Your results are analyzed together for patterns across genetic markers, energy substrates, and micronutrients that a single test would miss.
Training and Recovery Guidance
Genetic insights about muscle fiber composition and endurance or power tendencies help inform your training emphasis. Information about recovery genetics, inflammation patterns, and metabolic markers provides context for rest intervals, deload weeks, and active recovery strategies.
Performance Nutrition Plan
Your nutrition plan is built around your genetic tendencies and metabolic findings. Macronutrient ratios, meal timing, and fuel strategies are informed by how your body appears to use energy, with practical recommendations for pre, intra, and post-training nutrition.
Custom Micronutrient Blend
Based on your DNA, metabolic results, and performance goals, you receive a personalized micronutrient blend. Your first three months are included, helping you address likely gaps rather than relying on standard sports supplements that are not tailored to your profile.
Physician-Supervised Support
We use a Goals to Solutions approach that is always physician-supervised. You share your performance goals. We guide you to the right solution. Dr. Lombard and the Zulu medical team oversee your program, with regular check-ins so your plan evolves with your training.
Privacy and Data Protection
Your genetic and health information is protected under Canadian healthcare privacy regulations, including PIPEDA and Alberta's Health Information Act. Testing is processed in ISO-certified laboratories with strict data handling protocols.
Your Investment in Performance Optimization
A private precision health program that complements, not replaces, your existing training and medical care.
Zulu Performance is a private pay program delivered in a private medical setting. It is not covered by Canadian public healthcare plans, such as provincial health insurance. Some services may be eligible for partial reimbursement through extended benefits, depending on your plan, but most clients plan to invest privately. Our team can provide receipts and documentation to support any claims you choose to submit.
​
Zulu Performance is designed to work alongside your coaches, trainers, physiotherapists and family doctor or sports medicine providers, not instead of them. Flexible payment options are available. If the full Zulu Performance program is not the right financial fit at this time, our team can recommend more focused starting points or alternative solutions within the Zulu family of programs.
