Our Science

Learn how your DNA turns into your 

personal nutrition recommendations

What is DNA?

DNA is the genetic material that carries information about how your body looks and functions. Your genes are specific areas of your DNA that provide instructions for making proteins. Differences in these instructions can result in different proteins, which affects the function of your body’s tissues and organs as well as the way your body processes the food you eat. 


The locations of these differences are often referred to as genetic variants. Genetic variants are distinguished by the difference in a single building block (A, C, T, or G) of DNA. At GenoPalate, we analyze 100+ genetic variants that directly impact how your body processes food. 

Small variants, drastic differences

Just one variant in your genes can lead to drastic differences in the way your body processes food. They influence how you metabolize nutrients and absorb certain vitamins. 


 Our genetic analysis provides you with your unique genetic results for important nutrition related genes. Research has shown positive health outcomes when people with certain genetic makeups consume certain nutrient levels. We use this information to determine your recommended intake of 20+ nutrients. 

An in-depth nutritional analysis

We complete a nutritional analysis of hundreds of foods. We then provide you with those foods that have a nutrition profile that matches best with your genetic-based nutrition recommendations.

Your Genes + Nutritional Science = Your Foods

By combining your genes, nutrition recommendations and the nutrient composition of foods, we are able to provide you with a comprehensive list of foods that all have the highest amount of the nutrients that benefit you most.

Our Standards

  • We only apply evidence-based research from high-impact clinical trials and population studies that directly link positive health outcomes with nutritional genomics.

  • Our lab is certified by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), that regulate and ensure quality laboratory testing certified by the state and Center for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS).

  • Your privacy is our priority. Your data is completely de-identified and encrypted in our database and is carefully disposed of by our lab after it has been used to generate your report.

Still Have Questions?

What is the science behind GenoPalate?

We analyze over 100+ genetic markers that influence how your body metabolizes different nutrients. We then combine your genetic results with research on nutritional genomics to determine your recommended intake level for carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. We base your recommendations on evidence-based research correlating your genetic variants with nutrition that’s shown positive health outcomes. We also provide insights on your sensitivity to lactose and gluten, and your metabolic rate of caffeine and alcohol.

How do you connect my genes and nutrition recommendations?

GenoPalate uses evidence-based research from high-impact clinical trials and studies of nutritional and health outcomes genomics to form our recommendations. From these scientific conclusions, we recommend the foods that have the highest amount of nutrients that your genotypes have shown to benefit from.

What is a genotype?

You have two copies of each gene, one from your mom and one from your dad. Your genotype refers to the two nucleotides (A, C, G, or T) found at the same location on each copy of a gene.

What is the process for providing my DNA information?

We collect a saliva sample using a DNA collection swab to gather your DNA information. After purchasing, you will receive a kit with everything you need for the sample collection.

What happens to my sample at the lab?

Our lab, which is certified by the Clinical Laboratory Information Amendment (CLIA), extracts the DNA from your saliva. Your DNA then goes onto what’s called a microarray. This array reveals your genotype for nutrition-related biomarkers, which we analyze in order to get your personal nutrition recommendations.

What nutritional insights will the report provide me?

Your GenoPalate report will provide insights into your recommended macronutrient (carbohydrates, protein and fat) intake and micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) intake. You will also receive “Your Foods” which includes a list of over 85 foods that you may benefit from eating more of, based on your genetic results.

Can this report detect my food allergies?

There are no genetic assays for detecting food allergies through DNA. This is due to food allergies, such as egg, peanut, shellfish, etc., not being caused by genetic variants, but instead caused by live, autoimmune factors. Although some allergies are genetic, they are genetic in the immune system rather than in the actual DNA.
