Environmental Phenotypes

Six Environmental Phenotypes. One of Them Is Yours.

Genetics describe how you're built. Environment decides what that means in practice. We sort the intersection into six phenotypes. You'll find yourself in one.

What's included

Your genetics meet your environment.

Most people think about food when they think about health. We built Gene Food Environment to help you start thinking about air quality, pollen, and daily environmental conditions as part of that picture too.

Live air quality, daily

PM2.5, ozone, NO₂, SO₂, CO, and PM10 from the EPA AirNow network — updated daily for your zip code.

The founding product of Personal Environmental Genomics

I've worked in health and wellness for nearly a decade and tried everything. The most surprising thing I've come to understand is that where you live may matter as much as what you eat. I built Gene Food Environment to give people a way to access information about both — their genetics and their daily environment — in one place, so they can start asking better questions.
