About

Gene Food software scores raw genetic data to help our customers gain valuable nutrition and health insights.

Gene Food was founded with a science-first approach. For the first two years of the company’s existence, the Gene Food team conducted research on the science of personalized nutrition. Our head of research and lead geneticist, Dr. Aaron Gardner, assembled a team to review hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on genetics and nutrition, ranking the genes with the most scientific validation, and assigning each a Science Grade. This research forms the backbone of our custom nutrition plan.

Using the research and scoring system created in the exploratory phase of the company, Dr. Gardner’s team built a proprietary nutrition algorithm that classifies customers into one of twenty diet types based on over 120 vetted genetic factors. Gene Food can score existing genetic data from providers like 23andme, Ancestry, & more.
