No. This is a nutrition and self-knowledge profile, not a diagnostic test for any disease or deficiency. It decodes genetic traits related to how your body tends to absorb, use, and respond to nutrients and foods — to inform personalized nutrition. It does not measure your current nutrient levels (a blood test does that) and does not diagnose, treat, or cure anything. For any health concern, or before making significant changes to your diet or supplements, please talk with your physician or a registered dietitian.

It gives you directional, genetics-informed guidance — whether your body tends to respond better to lower-carb or lower-fat patterns, which nutrients may deserve more attention, and which food reactions have a genetic basis. It does not prescribe a rigid meal plan, calorie target, or weight-loss program, and we'd never want it to: the most effective nutrition is sustainable and built around nourishment, not restriction. Think of it as a precise, personalized starting point to build on — ideally with a registered dietitian.

They sit in different domains. Strength vs Endurance is about how your body responds to exercise — muscle fiber type, power vs endurance, training adaptation. This profile is about how your body uses food — vitamin and mineral absorption, macronutrient response, food reactions, and appetite signaling. There's a small overlap around metabolism, but the questions they answer are distinct: one shapes how you train, the other shapes how you eat. Many people interested in performance find them complementary.

No. This is not an allergy test and it cannot diagnose celiac disease or any food allergy or intolerance. It looks at common food-response genetics — like lactose tolerance (MCM6) and caffeine metabolism (CYP1A2) — for general insight into how your body tends to handle certain foods. True allergies, intolerances, and celiac disease require proper testing and diagnosis by a medical professional. If you suspect a food allergy or celiac, please see a doctor.

Your profile can highlight where your genetics suggest you may have higher needs or benefit from a particular form of a nutrient (for example, methylfolate if you carry an MTHFR variant). But please talk with your healthcare provider before starting or changing supplements — more is not always better, some nutrients can be harmful in excess, and your actual levels (which a blood test measures) matter alongside your genetics. The profile is a conversation starter, not a prescription.

Yes — and we encourage it. The profile gives a registered dietitian, physician, or nutrition coach a genetics-informed window into how your body tends to absorb and respond to nutrients that a standard consultation can't capture. It can help them personalize their guidance. They bring the clinical and dietary judgment; the profile adds one more layer of self-knowledge. You stay in control of what you share.

The testing is performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory using established SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) analysis — the standard for MTHFR, VDR, HFE, MCM6, CYP1A2, FTO, and the rest of the panel. Every interpretation is grounded in peer-reviewed nutrigenomics research. Your DNA and personal data are kept secure and HIPAA-protected at every step.

No. Your DNA does not change. One test gives you a profile that is yours, forever. As nutrigenomics research evolves, interpretations may be updated — but your underlying genetic data is a one-time investment.

Yes. The lab is CLIA-certified and your data is stored in a HIPAA-compliant system. We do not sell or share your genetic data. You are always the owner.

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.
