West Angeleno
Healthy fats from whole foods, whole grains, fresh over leftovers, and two plant-based days a week.

Whole grains and plant fats, no dairy, protein mostly from plants with wild fish to hold muscle.
Whole grains, plant fats
Villager
Low-fat, whole-food and plant-based. No oil, fresh over aged foods, calories from complex carbohydrates.
Low glycemic, low fat
Okinawan
Fiber-rich complex carbs make up most calories; saturated fat kept low, no seed oils, animal protein as a condiment.
High carb, very low fat
Vegetarian
Plants first with fish in the rotation. Complex carbs for calories, olive oil only, fresh foods to keep histamine down.
High carb, low fat
Urban Grazer
Robust genes, few restrictions. Whole grains, healthy fats, plant proteins, no dairy or processed meat.
Balanced, few limits
Hunter Gatherer
Omega-3s over saturated fat, low-glycemic carbs, mostly plant protein, and fresh foods to keep histamine in check.
Low glycemic, higher protein
How it works
Gerald lowered his LDL cholesterol by 100 points by changing his diet.
Despite serious training, Gerald's cholesterol and blood pressure kept rising and his energy kept dropping on a low-carb keto diet. His Gene Food results suggested his body has a hard time processing saturated fat, a staple of most keto diets. He switched to a Lean Machine plan.
"I finally knew what was causing my health issues." — Gerald

Frequently asked questions
I've been in your shoes.
Years in the New York startup world left me stressed, burned out, and genuinely unwell. When I went looking for the right way to eat, what I found was a shouting match. Every camp had an answer, and most of them contradicted each other.
Genetics is where I finally found footing. Not as a dogma, but as a foundation. It didn't tell me what to believe. It told me which questions were worth asking and which paths were worth trying.
I learned why eggs aren't a great fit for me and may be perfectly fine for you. Why histamine matters more for some people than others. Which supplements make sense as a baseline for my genes. Why low-carb and low-glycemic-load aren't the same thing, even though they get used interchangeably.
Our work starts with GWAS, a mountain of published science. Much of it was never filed under nutrition. APOE is a good example: it rarely gets called a nutrigenomic marker, but it plays a major role in how a person responds to a high-fat diet. Connecting that research to what's on your plate is the work we do. What we're building toward is a set of science-backed cardiometabolic phenotypes, and we're standing up a voluntary research cohort now to study it properly. I believe in this deeply. I wouldn't sell it otherwise. We're not a DNA diet, and we're not part of anyone else's category. We're our own.
We're still independent, competing against companies far larger than us. That's deliberate. It lets us build a product with a point of view, so that you can have one of your own. You're not the average of a study population. You're you.
We'd be honored to have your business.
