What Can Your DNA Tell You?
Top Actionable DNA Discoveries for People Who Want to Stay Well
| Category | What DNA Can Reveal | Why It Matters | What You Can Do About It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart Health | Risk for high cholesterol or early heart attacks (e.g., familial hypercholesterolemia) | You could be at risk even if your current cholesterol is normal | Early cholesterol testing, lifestyle changes, and preventive medications if needed |
| Blood Clotting | Inherited clotting disorders (e.g., Factor V Leiden) | Increases risk of DVT or stroke, especially during surgery or pregnancy | Avoid hormone-based medications, consider preventive measures before long travel or surgery |
| Cancer Risk | Genetic risks for cancers (e.g., BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome) | Early detection saves lives | More frequent screenings, preventive procedures, share info with family |
| Medication Reactions | How your body processes medications (e.g., antidepressants, painkillers, statins) | Reduces risk of side effects or treatment failure | Choose safer or more effective medications based on your genes |
| Blood Sugar & Diabetes | Predisposition to type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance | You may be at risk even if your weight and labs are normal | Track blood sugar early, adopt a diabetes-preventive diet |
| Vitamin Processing | Trouble activating folate (MTHFR), B12, or vitamin D | Could lead to fatigue, anxiety, or inflammation despite taking supplements | Choose the right supplement form (e.g., methylfolate, active B12) |
| Brain Health | Risk genes for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or cognitive decline (e.g., APOE4) | Early brain health decisions can help reduce risk | Focus on diet, sleep, exercise, cognitive training, and preventive therapies |
| Food & Diet Response | Sensitivity to carbs, fats, or lactose | Not all diets work for everyone | Pick a diet plan that fits your genes (e.g., Mediterranean, low-carb, dairy-free) |
| Fitness & Muscle Genes | Muscle type, injury risk, or recovery speed | Knowing your baseline helps optimize workouts | Personalize your training, avoid overtraining, tailor rest periods |
| Carrier Status | Whether you carry silent genetic risks for future children | You may be healthy but carry a hidden condition (e.g., cystic fibrosis, SMA) | Useful when planning a family; your partner can be tested too |

Testimonials
From Our Customers – Real Results, Real People
“I had been struggling with finding the right pain medication for what felt like forever. Whatever my doctor prescribed either didn’t work, or gave me side effects I couldn’t tolerate. It was frustrating and disheartening, especially when everyone seemed to suggest that it was my fault, or that I was being a complainer.
When I read that my genes might be affecting how I respond to medications, I decided to look into it. That’s when I discovered MoodNote Genomics. They were fantastic from the start. All I had to do was to upload my ancestry data that I already had.
What they found was a game-changer: my genes were preventing the prescribed drugs from being effective. Armed with this information, my doctor was able to choose a medication that worked with my genetic makeup. The difference has been incredible. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again.
MoodNote Genomics helped me finally find the right treatment. Their service was easy, affordable, and, most importantly, it worked. If you’re having trouble with your medications, I highly recommend giving them a try.”

“I was always looking for something new to help with my migraines because no matter what medications I tried, I ended up with side effects. I hated the upset stomachs, dizziness, and drowsiness almost as much as I hated the migraines. After someone suggested that maybe my problem was related to my genes, I started looking for companies that could investigate this. MoodNote Genomics was exactly what I was looking for. For a very reasonable price, they had me do a simple cheek swab to collect my genetic material for analysis and then interpreted the raw data for me.
What they found was that I have a mutation in a gene needed to process folic acid. They explained to me that folic acid is a nutrient important for many functions, including blood flow in the brain, heart health, and mood. Even though I had plenty of folic acid in my diet, I was unable to make use of it without this gene. They told me about a specific over-the-counter supplement that would bypass this mutation and provide my body with the folic acid it needed. Since I started taking this supplement, I have not had a single migraine. I am so grateful that I found MoodNote Genomics—they were able to provide an explanation and a simple solution for a problem I had been struggling with for years.“
