The DNA Nutrition & Metabolism Test is a comprehensive genetic analysis designed to uncover how your body uniquely responds to food, nutrients, and metabolic challenges. It screens over 60 traits across seven vital areas of nutritional health: food preferences, sensitivities, macronutrient response, micronutrient metabolism, metabolic function, dietary effectiveness, and substance dependence.

In the Food Preferences section, the test evaluates your genetic tendency to favor or avoid items such as green tea, milk, tofu, yogurt, bitter foods, carbohydrates, meat, and fruit-based diets. It also checks behaviors like snacking, overeating, and fat overconsumption — helping you understand and manage dietary triggers.

The Food Sensitivity panel explores your response to common irritants like gluten, lactose, caffeine, trans fats, salt, and cortisol. It also includes insulin sensitivity, offering insight into your risk for blood sugar imbalances and related metabolic conditions like diabetes and weight gain.

Under Macronutrient Response, it evaluates how your body metabolizes protein, while the Micronutrient Panel focuses on 11 essential vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, D, E, K, B2, B6, B9 (folate), B12, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, selenium, copper, and phosphates. These insights guide supplement needs and diet optimization.

The Metabolic Response section covers lipid metabolism and exercise efficiency. It reveals if your genes put you at risk for high cholesterol, poor fat processing, or low benefit from physical activity — key for designing effective weight loss or heart health plans.

The test also includes Nutritional Therapy markers that help assess how well you may respond to fiber, low-fat diets, prebiotics/probiotics, and the Mediterranean diet. This allows you to build a nutrition plan that works with your genetics rather than against them.

Finally, the Substance Dependence section explores genetic predispositions toward nicotine, alcohol, opioids, heroin, cannabis, and related behaviors. It helps you understand your risk for dependency and make informed lifestyle choices.

Each trait includes a polygenic risk score (PRS) interpreted as low, moderate, or high. Paired with lifestyle recommendations, this test is ideal for anyone looking to personalize their diet, boost metabolism, improve fitness results, and prevent lifestyle-related health issues.

The DNA Nutrition & Metabolism Test empowers you with data-driven insights to build a smarter, genetically aligned nutrition plan.
