The Answers Are in Your Genes
Cancer? Vitamin E (COMT)
Your genes play a powerful role in how your body responds to nutrients and supplements. For example, variations in the COMT gene can affect how your body processes vitamin E and how it influences your cancer risk. People with the AA or GA variant of this gene generally do not have an increased cancer risk from vitamin E, and those with the AA variant may even have a slightly lower risk. Since the optimal and safe supplement dose for cancer protection hasn’t been established, understanding your unique genetic makeup through a genomic test is essential—it helps you make informed, evidence-based health choices instead of relying on one-size-fits-all advice.
Caffine? CYP1A2
The CYP1A2 gene plays an important role in how your body breaks down caffeine. Some people have a version of this gene that makes them “fast metabolizers,” meaning they clear caffeine quickly and can enjoy more coffee without strong side effects. Others are “slow metabolizers,” so caffeine lingers in their system longer, which can raise the risk of jitteriness, anxiety, poor sleep, or even heart issues if they drink too much. If you find that coffee makes you restless or disrupts your sleep even after just one or two cups, your CYP1A2 gene might be working more slowly. Paying attention to your body’s response and moderating intake can help you get the benefits of coffee without the downsides.
Gluten and Your Genes (HLA)
Certain genes in the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) family — especially HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 — play a major role in how your body responds to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. People who carry these gene variants are more likely to develop celiac disease, an autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers the immune system to attack the small intestine. Not everyone with these genes will develop celiac disease, but almost everyone with celiac has one of these genetic markers. If you often experience bloating, fatigue, or digestive discomfort after eating gluten, genetic testing can help identify whether you carry HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. Knowing your genetic risk empowers you to make dietary choices that support long-term gut health.
MTHFR
The MTHFR gene affects how your body processes folate, a B vitamin that’s essential for energy, mood, and brain health. Some people have common MTHFR variants (like C677T or A1298C) that make this process less efficient. That can lead to higher homocysteine levels in the blood and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings. The good news is, if you carry one of these variants, getting enough active folate (5-MTHF) and vitamin B12 — through leafy greens, beans, or supplements — can support your energy and long-term health.
FTO “Fat Gene”
The FTO gene influences appetite, cravings, and how your body stores fat. Some people with certain FTO variants may feel hungrier, crave high-calorie foods, or find it harder to manage their weight. It doesn’t mean weight gain is inevitable — but understanding your FTO gene can help you make smarter choices about diet and lifestyle to stay balanced.
Motivaton to Exercise? (BDNF, rs6265)
Your ability to feel motivated to exercise isn’t just about willpower — your genes play a key role too. The BDNF gene, particularly the rs6265 variant, influences how your brain produces and responds to brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein that supports mood, energy, and mental focus. People with certain versions of this gene may naturally feel less motivated to exercise because their brains release less BDNF during activity, meaning they experience fewer of the “feel-good” effects that make exercise rewarding. Knowing your BDNF genotype through a genomic test can help you understand your personal motivation patterns and tailor your fitness approach — using strategies that align with how your brain and body are wired.
5 Most Important Things to Know
Your genes influence how your body reacts to external factors like stress, toxins, sleep deprivation, and physical activity. Some people are genetically more resilient to stress or recover faster from sleep loss, while others are more sensitive to pollutants or irregular schedules. Knowing your genetic tendencies helps you adjust your lifestyle — such as prioritizing sleep or minimizing certain exposures — for better long-term health.
Once the responsible bacteria are identified, tailored strategies can be developed to restore balance. One option is the use of probiotics—supplements containing helpful bacterial strains. These beneficial microbes compete with gas-producing bacteria for food and space, reducing the amount of gas that builds up.
Dietary adjustments can also make a big difference. Based on test results, foods that trigger excess fermentation for your unique microbiome can be limited or avoided. At the same time, adding foods that encourage the growth of supportive bacteria helps improve digestion and reduce discomfort.
By combining targeted probiotics with personalized nutrition, it’s possible to ease bloating and gas while supporting the long-term health of your digestive system. This personalized approach addresses the root imbalance, leading to both immediate relief and a healthier, more resilient gut ecosystem.
Genetic variations can affect how efficiently your cells produce and use energy. For example, some individuals have a naturally higher resting metabolism or a greater capacity for endurance, while others may tire easily due to mitochondrial efficiency differences. Understanding your metabolic profile helps you tailor exercise intensity and daily habits to optimize energy levels and prevent burnout.
Genes play a significant role in how your brain and body manage stress, emotions, and even social behaviors. Variants in neurotransmitter-related genes (like serotonin and dopamine pathways) can affect mood, motivation, and resilience. Learning about these can guide mindfulness, therapy, or coping strategies — helping you cultivate emotional balance that aligns with your biology.
Whether you’re a natural night owl or early bird is strongly influenced by your genes. Genetic differences also impact how deeply you sleep, how you recover overnight, and how you respond to caffeine or irregular sleep patterns. Aligning your work, exercise, and relaxation routines with your natural sleep-wake rhythm can dramatically improve focus and recovery.
Once these triggers are identified, targeted solutions become possible. If bacterial imbalance is the issue, incorporating probiotic-rich foods or supplements can encourage the growth of beneficial microbes, helping restore balance in the gut. If food sensitivities are revealed, reducing or eliminating those items from your diet may ease queasiness and improve digestion.
This individualized approach does more than relieve nausea—it strengthens overall digestive health. By tackling the root causes through tailored dietary changes and supportive strategies, you not only find relief but also build a healthier foundation for long-term well-being.
Genes determine how efficiently your body processes toxins, repairs cells, and maintains balance in key systems (like inflammation and oxidation). Understanding your detoxification and repair genes can inform choices about diet, supplements, and lifestyle habits — such as avoiding specific pollutants, managing inflammation, or supporting recovery with certain nutrients.
If diarrhea is the concern, strategies may focus on replenishing fluids and, in some cases, adding targeted probiotic supplements. Introducing beneficial bacteria can help rebuild microbial balance, strengthen the gut barrier, and regulate motility, often easing loose stools.
By addressing the root microbial imbalances, these personalized adjustments—whether through fiber, hydration, or probiotics—offer a practical way to regulate bowel habits and support overall digestive health.

Once your results are ready, they’re interpreted to provide clear, personalized insights into how your body responds to different nutrients and foods.
Once our laboratory receives your DNA sample, it should take approximately 2 weeks for the analysis and recommendations to be sent to your healthcare professional. Your healthcare professional will contact you once they receive the results and will set up a time to discuss them with you.
Our reports are currently available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, and Indonesian, and we are working to develop translations into many other languages.
No. Our Nutrigenomix tests analyze DNA for genetic variants that affect your response to the foods and beverages you consume. The test does not predict or diagnose any disease or health condition. With the information from your test results, your healthcare professional will be able to provide you with dietary advice tailored to your individual genetic profile.
Only your healthcare professional will have access to your genetic test results. Your DNA kit is marked with a unique barcode, which is used at the laboratory to analyze your sample. This barcode system ensures that your personal information remains confidential and cannot be linked to your results by anyone other than your healthcare provider. All genetic data is transmitted through a secure, 256-bit encrypted server, and your information is never shared with any third party or used for research without your explicit consent, except as required to provide the requested services or by law.
Your sample will be stored in our secure, controlled-access facilities and labeled only with your unique barcode, which only your healthcare professional will know belongs to you. As new discoveries in the field of nutrigenomics are made, additional information may be added to our reports, and new panels with additional cutting-edge information could be available to you. Nutrigenomix will never share your data with any third party and will never conduct research using your DNA without your permission, except as required to provide the services requested, or as required by law.
