Your most effective plan is built entirely around you
My Nutrition Protocols Guide™ looks at how your genetics interact with popular diet, fasting, and exercise protocols, estimating how hard each is to stick with and how readily your body responds.
DNA-powered · Confidential · One blood draw covers all your guidesThere’s no shortage of plans, and no shortage of people who swear by each one
A plan that transforms one person can feel like a constant uphill battle for another, and a lot of that difference is written into your genes.
No single best plan
The “best” protocol is rarely the same for any two people. Your guide shows where your genetics create more or less friction across each one.
Two scores per protocol
Each protocol is scored on how hard it is to stick with (Tolerance / Adherence) and how readily your biology responds (Success).
Not a verdict
A higher-friction score doesn’t mean a protocol is off-limits. It means you may need more structure, support, or patience to make it work.
How we score each protocol
For every protocol, your guide estimates two separate things, so you can see both the day-to-day effort and the likely payoff.
Tolerance / Adherence™
How much genetic friction you are likely to face staying consistent with a protocol day to day. A low score means your genetics make it easier to sustain; a higher score means it may take more structure and support.
Success™
How readily your biology tends to respond to a protocol when you follow it. A low score means your genetics tend to cooperate; a higher score means results may come more slowly or require more fine-tuning.
How it works
Three steps from your DNA to a clearer view of which approaches fit you.
We read your DNA file
Your guide is built from an Illumina genotyping array covering 1.9M+ common genetic variants, focused on those studied in nutrition and exercise genomics.
We create proprietary polygenic risk scores
Each protocol gets 0–100 Tolerance and Success scores, built from our proprietary polygenic risk scores combining multiple well-studied variants.
You get a personalized guide
A scorecard, top-priority findings, and practical recommendations for every protocol, in plain language to bring to a health or wellness professional.
Eight protocols, two ways to use them
Dietary protocols are choices you generally pick one of. Complementary protocols layer onto whichever diet you choose, so they’re scored separately.

Think of it less like a grade and more like a resistance meter. A low score means your genes work with you; a higher score means they create obstacles worth planning around.
Your genes are working with you here. Negligible genetic friction. Less effort needed to manage this area well.
About average. Your biology doesn’t give you a clear advantage or disadvantage. Standard guidance applies here.
Your genes create real impact here. Not a diagnosis. A signal that this area deserves more of your attention.
What’s inside your guide
A personalized guide covering eight protocols, each scored on Tolerance and Success, with prioritized findings and recommendations.
Built to be trustworthy
Our design choices are simple, transparent, and deliberately conservative, because that’s what makes the information worth trusting.
Polygenic scoring
Each score combines several well-studied variants rather than a single marker, so one quirky finding can’t move the needle. Single-gene predictions are rarely reliable on their own.
Evidence that clears three filters
Every finding must pass peer-reviewed research, a replicated effect, and clinically meaningful relevance to how the body responds to the protocol.
A note on ancestry
Most nutrition and exercise genomics research to date comes from European-ancestry cohorts. We continue to update findings as more diverse research emerges.
What it does not do
This is a lifestyle guide, not a medical diagnostic. It doesn’t guide disease risk or drug metabolism, and it doesn’t tell you to start or stop any protocol or medication.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tell me which diet I should follow?
No. It doesn’t tell you which protocol to follow, and it’s not a verdict on what will or won’t work. It’s a starting point for a conversation with a health or wellness professional who can help you choose and personalize the approach that fits you best.
What’s the difference between dietary and complementary protocols?
Dietary protocols (Keto, Atkins, Mediterranean, Paleo, Plant-Based) are choices you generally pick one of. Complementary protocols (GLP-1, Intermittent Fasting, Aerobic Exercise) layer onto whichever diet you choose, so they’re scored separately.
What do Tolerance and Success mean?
Tolerance / Adherence is how much genetic friction you’ll likely face staying consistent day to day. Success is how readily your biology tends to respond when you follow the protocol. A higher score in either means it may take more structure, support, or patience, not that the plan is off-limits.
Do I need a blood draw?
IG requires one blood draw that can be used for all of your guides. If you’ve already had your blood drawn, you’re all set. If not, you’ll need to order your DNA kit to produce this Guide. Your results are tied to a private, anonymous guide identifier (IGID) rather than your name.
Is this medical advice?
No. It reflects a genetic predisposition, not a diagnosis, and it doesn’t guide disease risk or drug metabolism. Use it alongside the guidance of a licensed medical or wellness provider, especially before starting or stopping any protocol or medication.
Personalized to your DNA
The same guide gives two people different, DNA-specific guidance. Here is a look inside a real scored result.
