Your wellness journey begins with your genes. We analyze the genes responsible for the normal functioning of your chosen systems, compare your gene mutations to relevant data from the 1000 Genome Project, and use that data to provide useful diet recommendations based on real scientific evidence.
Get all the recommendations you need to start a healthier lifestyle and diet. It’s all based on your gene variants, from superfoods to nutrients & recipes.
Your diet and lifestyle recommendations are based on accurate, up-to-date, and well- researched scientific studies and databases. These include open- source databases such as the 1000 Genome Project, GWAS Catalog, American Heart Association (AHA), National Institute of Health (NIH), and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Intro
Vitamin D3
Diet, lifestyle, and genetics play a vital role in defining the health of your bone structure. Regular sunlight exposure and a diet rich in Vitamin D can help support good bone health. However, certain gene variants can play a role in Vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to poor muscular and skeletal health.
Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb the calcium from the food you eat. As calcium is the key mineral found in bones, it’s vital that your body can easily absorb calcium and strengthen the bones. Children who are Vitamin D deficient have a higher chance of developing rickets. For adults, Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to depression, erectile dysfunction, schizophrenia, and heart disease.

Gluten
Lactose
Gut inflammation
You know the phrase, ‘You are what you eat.’ But the opposite is also true — what you eat depends on who you are.
That’s because your genetics can influence how well your body can digest a particular kind of food. Also, many digestive disorders like colon cancer, Crohn's disease, and pancreatic cancer can be hereditary.
Learning how your body reacts to a certain food can help you adopt smart nutrition habits to mitigate these genetic dispositions.
For people with celiac disease, gluten-rich products like rye or wheat can be highly toxic. When gluten enters the body, it causes the immune system to respond negatively and start destroying the lining of the small intestine. Other common symptoms include bone loss, fatigue, malnutrition, and even delayed puberty.
A majority of people gradually lose their ability to digest lactose after infancy. This leads to abdominal discomfort and loose motions after consumption of dairy. Though not considered a genetic illness, lactose intolerance is often inherited. Knowing your predisposition to it may help you adjust your diet, improving the quality of life.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a reference to a group of chronic conditions which involve parts of the gastrointestinal tract like the stomach, small intestine, colon, or their combination. These conditions include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Knowing the genetic risk of IBD is important for prevention and control of this malady.
Intro
HDL
LDL
Homocysteine
Caffeine
Many cardiovascular disorders can be inherited, such as high blood cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. Genetic analysis will determine your level of risk and the types of healthy food that can help lower your risk of heart disease.
Not all types of cholesterol are the same. Some may be beneficial, while other types harm you. HDL is known as the ‘good’ cholesterol. It can be easily removed by the liver and helps to dissolve atherosclerotic plaques. It is beneficial to have high levels of HDL, as it helps you combat plaques and maintain cardiovascular fitness. Dietary habits and physical activity may significantly alter your HDL levels.
Cholesterol becomes dangerous when the lipid metabolism is disturbed, and low-density lipoprotein LDL becomes dominant in the blood. It cannot be removed by the liver and may result in atherosclerotic plaques. The less LDL you have, the better.
MyWayDna analyzes the most studied genes that affect your LDL level, such as PSRC1, APOE, LDLR, APOB, APOC1. Besides influencing lipid metabolism and the development of atherosclerosis, some LDL metabolism genes have been attributed to other diseases. For instance, APOE has been liked to Alzheimer’s disease.
Homocysteine is an important marker of cardiovascular health. In high amounts, it can damage vascular tissue and increase the risk of vessels forming atherosclerotic plaques. Homocysteine takes part in the folate cycle, a vital metabolic pathway of our organism. It increases steadily over time: older people usually have higher levels of homocysteine. Lower levels of homocysteine are associated with an extended healthspan.
Whether or not caffeine is good for you depends on your metabolism. Those who process caffeine slowly have a higher risk of heart attacks, while people who process caffeine quickly are safe ― and may even be protected from certain cardiovascular disorders.

Addictions We consider longevity to be the top priority for any wellness service. We define longevity not as a lifespan, but as a healthspan, the total time during which a person can act and think free from age-related diseases. Everyone is unique, so the approach to one’s wellness should be personalized as well. Our genetics influences many aspects of our health. It is essential to know yourself to make the best choices for your health.
Intro
Coffee
Tobacco
Alcohol
Addictions are genetically predisposed. While many people consume addictive substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or caffeine, only some experience addition. Your genetics influence the chances of you becoming addicted, and different genes manage your response to different chemicals.
Your genes not only indicate whether caffeinated drinks are healthy for you, but also influence the amount of coffee you drink. Genes can also determine whether or not you enjoy caffeine. If your genes are unfavorable, you’ll be more likely to develop an addiction to coffee.
Tobacco is the most prevalent addictive chemical in the world. Although most smokers develop addictions, some may draw the short straw. Smokers with unfavorable genetics are more prone to lung diseases. Moreover, they become addicted at a faster rate.
In terms of statistics, alcohol addiction closely follows tobacco. Although many people drink socially, only a minority acquire an addiction. Your genetics can indicate not only whether you are likely to become addicted, but also how likely you are to develop esophagus cancer.
