What’s Analyzed
[ 120+ Genes · 6 Categories ]120+ genes analyzed across 6 categories — each revealing something actionable about how your body processes food.
Macronutrient Metabolism
What should you actually eat? Your body burns carbs, fat & protein differently than everyone else.
Vitamin & Mineral Absorption
Are you getting the vitamins you need? Some people absorb 3x more Vitamin D than others — find out where you stand.
Food Sensitivities
Foods your body hates. Lactose, gluten, caffeine — know before you eat.
Weight Management
Why you struggle with weight. Your appetite and fat-storage genes explain everything.
Taste & Behavior
Why you crave what you crave. Sweet tooth? Bitter sensitivity? Written in your DNA.
Detoxification
How well you detox. Your liver detox power is written in your genes.
Your diet struggles have answers in your genes
[ Key Genes + Answers ]“I eat healthy but can’t lose weight. Is it genetic?”
[ What the science says ]Variants in the FTO gene are found in about 44% of Europeans and raise obesity risk by up to 70%. MC4R controls hunger signals — people with certain MC4R variants feel genuinely hungrier even after eating the same calories as others. Your genes don’t make it impossible to lose weight, but they do change how hard your body fights against it.
GeneDiet analyzes FTO, MC4R, PPARG, and 18 more weight-management genes — telling you exactly what your metabolism is doing differently and which dietary strategy is actually aligned with your biology.
“Why do I feel awful after eating dairy — or certain foods?”
[ What the science says ]The MCM6/LCT gene pair controls lactase production. If you carry a variant that turns off lactase after childhood (which most humans do — it’s the default), you’ll struggle to digest dairy your entire life. Similarly, HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 determine gluten sensitivity and celiac disease risk. These aren’t intolerances you develop — you were born with them.
GeneDiet tests for lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, caffeine metabolism, alcohol processing, and 12 more food sensitivities — giving you a definitive genetic explanation for reactions you’ve been guessing about for years.
“Do I actually need all the supplements I’m taking?”
[ What the science says ]The MTHFR gene affects how your body converts folic acid into its active form — up to 60% of people have a variant that reduces this conversion by 30-70%. The VDR gene affects vitamin D receptor activity, meaning even people who live in sunny climates and take supplements can have chronic vitamin D deficiency. Taking the wrong form of a vitamin because your genes can’t convert it is a waste of money and health.
GeneDiet identifies exactly which vitamins your genes process poorly and recommends the specific bioavailable forms your body can actually use — not generic RDA recommendations designed for the average person.

The gene that explained everything
[ Verified Results ]“I had been eating "healthy" for years but couldn’t lose weight. GeneDiet showed I have an FTO variant that makes my body store fat more easily on high-carb diets. Switching to a lower-carb approach, I lost 18 lbs in 4 months.”

Frequently asked
GeneDiet analyzes over 120 genetic markers that influence how your body processes nutrients, metabolizes food, and responds to different dietary patterns. This allows us to create personalized nutrition recommendations based on your unique genetic makeup, helping you optimize your diet for better health, weight management, and energy levels.
Yes! GeneDiet identifies genetic predispositions to food sensitivities (like lactose or gluten), caffeine metabolism, alcohol processing, and other dietary factors. We provide clear guidance on foods that may not work well with your genetics and suggest alternatives that better suit your genetic profile.
After we receive your sample at our lab, you can expect your comprehensive GeneDiet report within 5-7 business days. You’ll receive an email notification when your results are ready to view in your secure online portal.
Absolutely! GeneDiet analyzes genes related to metabolism, fat storage, appetite regulation, and satiety. Understanding your genetic predispositions helps create a personalized weight management strategy that works with your body, not against it. Many clients find this insight invaluable for sustainable weight management.
No fasting is required! GeneDiet uses a simple cheek swab to collect DNA, which can be done at any time of day. Your genetic code doesn’t change based on what you’ve eaten, so there’s no need for any special preparation.
Your genetic code remains constant throughout your life, so your core results won’t change. However, we regularly update our analysis algorithms and add new genetic markers as nutritional science advances. Members receive quarterly updates with the latest insights at no additional cost.
