2x greater weight loss*

* In studies conducted by Phenomix Sciences and Mayo Clinic, patients following a phenotype-guided weight-loss program have been shown to lose 2x more total body weight than those in a non-phenotype-guided program

Why one-size-fits-all does not work

Everyone’s body is different, specifically in how we process food, store and use energy and send signals to our brain.

Digestion

The rate of food emptying from the gut varies, leaving some predisposed to feeling hungry faster than others after a meal.

Brain signals

The role of emotions and hunger signals varies, leaving some people thinking they need food when really their body has not yet received the “full” signal.

Metabolic speed

Some people burn through calories and store energy differently than others, which can lead to an energy (calorie storage) imbalance.

"Before taking the MyPhenome test I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I had tried so many different diets and even had a sleeve gastrectomy.... I discovered my metabolic phenotype Hungry Gut, and for the first time my struggle with my weight made sense. I have lost 18 pounds after being put on the right weight loss medication for me."

Your personal roadmap to efficient weight loss

Your phenotype is the key to understanding your body responds to nutrition, physical activity and medical interventions by revealing certain gene variants.

The MyPhenome™ test detects which gene variations you have and WHAT you can do about it!

""It's amazing to see how my patient's perspective shifts after getting their MyPhenome test results. I see this unburdening of their weight loss "failure" in their faces. They tell me they are no longer ashamed or embarrassed about their weight loss struggle. Their joy in finding out why they have struggled to lose weight and what will help them achieve their goals is palpable."

- Dr. O'Neil

What's your phenotype?

Using the MyPhenome™ test developed at Mayo Clinic, we can accurately predict your metabolic phenotype to get you on your path to efficient weight-loss.

hungry brain

Delay of feeling full during a meal, due to slow "hunger" signal to the brain.

hungry gut

Feeling hungry after eating, due to fast emptying of food from the stomach.

emotional hunger

Eating in response to emotional triggers.
