Your metabolism isn't slow. It's specific.
Some bodies burn calories like a furnace. Some store them like a vault. Neither is broken. Both are genetic — and yours is finally readable.
Two bodies. Same calories. Different outcomes.
One person eats freely and stays lean. Another eats half as much and gains weight. The difference isn't discipline. It's mitochondrial wiring — the engine inside every cell that converts food to fuel.
43 genetic traits. Six categories. The complete metabolic map.
Every dot is one trait we decode. Energy output, glucose response, fat metabolism, nutrient utilization, appetite signaling, and cellular health — together they form the architecture of how your body actually runs.
Your complete metabolic genome
Six categories. Forty-three traits. One DNA sample. Every dimension of how your body burns, stores, and uses energy — decoded once and yours forever.
Six revelations hiding in your metabolic genome.
Hover (or tap) to flip each card. These are real examples of the kind of insight your report will deliver — built from peer-reviewed nutrigenomics and metabolic genetics research.
How loud is your internal furnace?
Hover to reveal →Thermogenesis (UCP1)
The uncoupling protein gene controls how much energy your brown adipose tissue burns as heat instead of storing as fat. Active UCP1 variants run a "loud" furnace — easy to stay lean, harder to gain. Quieter variants store more efficiently. Either can be optimized once you know which you are.
How well do you handle a sugar load?
Hover to reveal →Glucose Response (TCF7L2)
The strongest single-gene predictor of type 2 diabetes risk and insulin sensitivity. Different variants shape how cleanly your body clears glucose from the bloodstream after a meal. Knowing yours informs everything from meal timing to carb load to whether intermittent fasting will actually serve you.
Can your body actually access stored fat?
Hover to reveal →Fat Breakdown (ADRB3)
The beta-3 adrenergic receptor gene governs lipolysis — the release of fat from storage for use as fuel. Slow variants make it harder to access fat stores during fasting or exercise; active variants release fat readily. This single gene shapes how your body responds to fasting, low-carb eating, and cardio.
Does your body store fat — or burn it?
Hover to reveal →Fat Storage vs Burning (PPARG)
One of the master regulators of fat cell formation and fat metabolism. Different variants shape your body's bias toward storing energy as fat vs burning it for fuel. The Pro12Ala polymorphism specifically affects insulin sensitivity and your response to dietary fats and carbohydrates.
What time of day should you eat?
Hover to reveal →Circadian Metabolism (CLOCK)
The CLOCK gene synchronizes your body's metabolic rhythm with the day-night cycle. Different variants shape when your insulin sensitivity peaks, when fat oxidation is highest, and whether late-night eating is metabolically harmless — or quietly disruptive. When you eat may matter as much as what.
How metabolically flexible are you?
Hover to reveal →Metabolic Flexibility (ADIPOQ)
Adiponectin is the hormone that lets your body switch fuels efficiently — between glucose and fat — based on what's available. Higher-expression variants mean a more flexible metabolism that adapts quickly to fasting, exercise, and changing meals. Lower-expression variants are more rigid and benefit from steadier patterns.
The science behind your engine.
Half of your metabolism was set the day you were born. The other half is what you do with it. Knowing the first half is what makes the second half matter.
A directional read on how your engine runs.
Five questions across five metabolic dimensions. We'll give you a composite metabolism score and a directional archetype. The exact genetic shape — the one your DNA reveals — is what the full test unlocks.

43 Trait Metabolic Genome Report
Detailed analysis of every genetic trait — energy output, glucose, fat metabolism, nutrient utilization, appetite, cellular health. References to the peer-reviewed research behind each insight.
Thermogenic vs Thrifty Profile
A clear read on which metabolic architecture your genome favors — and the calorie targets, meal timing, and macronutrient ratios that match your wiring instead of fighting it.
Fasting, Insulin & Meal Timing Guidance
Whether intermittent fasting will actually serve you. Whether late eating is harmless for your genome. How long your insulin sensitivity peaks last. The protocols backed by your DNA — not the latest trend.

If you've ever felt your metabolism was the problem, this is the test.
The Metabolic Efficiency DNA test is recommended for weight loss and nutrition planning. It's especially valuable for these four people.
The person whose metabolism feels slow
You eat what your friends eat and gain twice as much. You diet and barely move the scale. Knowing whether your engine is genuinely thrifty — and what to do about it — turns a moral story into a mechanical one. The shame ends. The strategy begins.
The person on a GLP-1 protocol
GLP-1s suppress appetite and accelerate fat loss. Your metabolic genetics tell you how to eat during the protocol so you preserve muscle and energy — and how to maintain results after you taper. The answers are genuinely different for different genomes.
The biohacker or longevity person
Fasting, time-restricted eating, ketogenic protocols, cold exposure, mitochondrial optimization. You're already running advanced protocols. Your DNA tells you which of these will genuinely compound for your body and which are giving you placebo gains.
The person worried about blood sugar
Pre-diabetic flags. Family history. Glucose readings you'd rather not see. Your TCF7L2 variant and insulin-sensitivity genetics shape your risk path — and your most effective intervention. Knowing early is the highest-leverage move you can make.
Your metabolic engine, decoded once.
What you're probably wondering.
No — and that's an important distinction. This is a metabolic genetics report, not a clinical diagnostic. It reveals genetic predispositions (such as TCF7L2 variants linked to type 2 diabetes risk) but it does not diagnose any condition. If you have concerns about diabetes, thyroid, or any metabolic health issue, please consult a qualified clinician. The report can give you and your doctor a richer starting point — but it does not replace blood work or clinical evaluation.
Both use the same underlying 43-trait Nutrition DNA panel, but the reports are framed for different questions. Food Sensitivity & Tolerance emphasizes what to eat — macronutrient response, food reactions, lactose, gluten, caffeine. Metabolic Efficiency emphasizes how your body runs — thermogenesis, insulin, glucose, fat metabolism, mitochondrial function, meal timing. Pick the one that matches the question you're trying to answer.
Yes — and it's especially useful. Metabolic genetics tell you how to eat during a GLP-1 protocol to preserve muscle and energy, when to time meals around your circadian rhythm, and how to maintain the results after you taper. The combination is powerful.
The testing is performed in a CAP/CLIA-accredited laboratory with greater than 99% accuracy. Every interpretation in your report is grounded in peer-reviewed nutrigenomics and metabolic genetics research. Your DNA and personal data are kept secure and HIPAA-protected at every step.
A real BMR measurement requires indirect calorimetry — a clinical test that measures the oxygen you consume at rest. What this test reveals is your genetic metabolic architecture: whether your wiring favors thermogenic or thrifty patterns, how your body handles glucose and fat, and the variants that shape your engine. Pair it with a real BMR test for full data, or use this on its own to guide protocol selection.
No. Your DNA does not change. One test gives you a report that is yours, forever. As metabolic science evolves, interpretations may be updated — but your underlying genetic data is a one-time investment.
Yes. Your ADRB3 (fat breakdown), CLOCK (circadian metabolism), and AMPK pathway variants directly shape how well your body handles fasting. For some genomes, time-restricted eating compounds metabolic benefits. For others, it produces stress responses that disrupt energy and hormones. The report tells you which one you are.
Approximately 3–4 weeks from the moment the lab receives your sample. You'll receive your full personalized report by email and through your secure online dashboard. Tracking is provided at every stage.
Due to state regulations on direct-to-consumer genetic testing, we currently do not ship to New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Maryland. Anywhere else in the United States is fine.
Stop fighting your metabolism. Decode it.
One cheek swab. Forty-three answers. The engine you've been trying to outrun all these years — finally readable, finally yours to work with instead of against.
