Most DNA kits tell you where your ancestors lived. That is interesting. It is not a care plan. Regenred’s Genetic & Metabolic DNA Test is built for nutrition and lifestyle: how you are likely to handle carbohydrates, fats, caffeine, training load, sleep, and recovery — so diet and protocols stop being guesswork.
This is not the Genetic Risk Panel (163 disease-risk genes). That test answers a different question. This one answers how your metabolism and daily habits are wired, then a physician sits with you to turn variants into food, training, and supplement decisions you can actually follow.
Collection is a simple cheek swab or saliva kit in clinic. Results are reviewed one-on-one. The output is a practical map, not a raw SNP spreadsheet.
What This DNA Test Is — and Is Not
Think of this as the instruction manual sitting underneath your labs. Bloodwork shows where you are today. DNA shows the tendencies that made that picture more likely — and which levers are worth pulling first.
A Simple Swab, Physician-Read Results
Collection is a cheek swab or saliva sample in clinic — no fasting marathon. The difference is what happens after: a Regenred provider reads the nutrition and metabolic findings with you, instead of leaving you with a consumer app and a list of rsIDs.
Nutrition Wiring, Not Ancestry Trivia
We look at pathways that affect how you may respond to carbs, fats, lactose, alcohol, and key micronutrients. The point is a clearer plate and supplement list — not a percentage breakdown of geographic heritage.
What the Test Maps
The report is organized around how you live, not around trivia. We focus on pathways that change what you eat, how you train, and how you recover — then we read those findings against your current labs when you have them.
Metabolic Tendencies
How you may handle insulin signaling, lipid transport, and weight-regulation pathways. Useful before a medical weight-loss or metabolic program so the plan matches the biology you actually have.
Training, Sleep, and Recovery
Variants related to endurance vs power bias, injury and inflammation tendencies, and circadian / sleep-related genes. We use this to set training load and recovery — not to pick a sport for you.
Caffeine, Stimulants, and Response
How quickly you may clear caffeine and related compounds, plus other lifestyle-response markers. Small details that change whether an afternoon espresso is a tool or a sleep wrecker.
From Variants to a Personal Protocol
A variant is not a diagnosis. A Regenred physician explains what is actionable, what is a mild tendency, and what should not change your life. Then we write the first version of your nutrition and lifestyle protocol.
Physician Review, Not a Raw File
You sit down with a provider who has already read the report. We explain what is a strong signal, what is a mild tendency, and what should not dominate your decisions. Questions are expected.
A Plan You Can Start This Week
The output is a written nutrition and lifestyle protocol: food pattern, training bias, caffeine timing, and which supplements are worth testing against your labs. Membership then follows those levers instead of a one-time PDF.
Who This Test Is For
This test is for people who have already tried generic plans — macros, fasting, caffeine, training blocks — and want to know which advice actually fits their biology before they start hormones, peptides, or a long diet.
People Tired of Generic Diets
If every popular plan worked for someone else and stalled for you, DNA plus labs is how we stop rotating diets at random. Families who want a shared nutrition language can test together and still get individual protocols.
Anyone Starting a Serious Protocol
Hormone optimization, GLP-1 therapy, peptides, or a long training block should sit on top of how you actually metabolize food and recover. This test is the lifestyle baseline so the expensive protocol is not fighting your wiring.
How to Book
Genetic and metabolic DNA is how Regenred personalizes the “lifestyle” half of care. Combined with a Total Wellness Panel or executive physical, it stops us from giving you the same diet we give everyone else.
If you also need disease-risk screening, ask about the Genetic Risk Panel separately. The two tests complement each other; they are not the same draw or the same conversation.
Ready to match food and training to your genes? Request a consult and ask for the Genetic & Metabolic DNA Test under Diagnostics & Testing. Your physician will confirm the right kit before collection and review results with you in person.
