Reviews from Satisfied Customers

"Gene Food completely changed the way I approach nutrition. Meal plan is easy to follow, results were ready in 15 minutes, and I no longer crave sweets."

Jamila Lynn

"I've tried several other companies, including InsiderTracker and DNAfit; if your primary concern is diet then I would absolutely recommend Gene Food as the best of the bunch."

Alexis Philippou

"My endurance took off. My endurance just shot through the roof. My Gene Food diet has been a game changer for my ultra-marathon running career"

Geral Holbrook

"Once I went back to carbs (based on the Okinawa diet) and quit the whole 30/paleo diet as well as any attempts at Keto or low-carb, my weight stopped rising, and actually started to go down (and I didn't even follow the Okinawa diet very strictly, and did no caloric restriction)!"

Kat C.

"Acquiring a custom nutrition plan from Gene Food was the single best health decision of my adult life. I frequent the Gene Food blog & the Gene Food podcast. John O'Connor and Dr. Aaron Gardner are focused on providing individuals with the very best science based information today. I believe their individualized approach, not the "one size fits all" seen frequently, is the future of optimizing health and wellness."

Do you sell my genetic data?

No, Gene Food never sells or shares genetic information with outside groups.

There is a record of the genes, or SNPs, that we use in scoring customers into unique diet types. We need this information to power the nutrition app.

Once deleted, we no longer have access to these files unless you choose to share them with us again at a future time. We never share your data with a third party (other than lab partners) and do not use the data you provide for any reason other than to deliver you nutrition and health insights.

Who shouldn't order a nutrition plan?

Everyone is welcome to order a nutrition plan! We trust in our product and believe it has value for a diverse range of people. However, nutrition has become a controversial topic in our society as of late. If you already love the diet you’re on, the custom nutrition plan might not be a fit for you as there is a chance our recommendations could diverge from your current dietary philosophy.
