Nutrition & Fitness

Ask your DNA what to eat and how to train.

Upload your genetic file from 23andMe, Ancestry, or any DNA test — and start chatting with an AI that actually knows your genes. Ask about keto, dairy intolerance, muscle type, supplements, caffeine sensitivity — and get answers based on YOUR genotype, not generic advice.

What you get

1

Stop guessing what diet works for you

Ask 'Is keto right for my genes?' or 'Why does dairy bother me?' and get a clear, personalized explanation in seconds — based on YOUR genotype, not a trending article.

2

Stop wasting money on wrong supplements

Your genes determine whether you absorb regular B12 or need the methylated form, whether you need extra vitamin D, and whether creatine will do anything for your body. Find out before you buy.

3

Train the way your body is built for

Find out if you're genetically built for strength or endurance, how fast you recover, and whether your current routine matches what your DNA actually responds to.

4

Finally know why certain foods don't agree with you

Lactose, gluten, caffeine, alcohol — your genes explain why certain foods make you feel terrible while your friends handle them fine. Stop guessing, start knowing.

How it works: upload, ask, learn

No programs, no questionnaires, no waiting. Just a conversation with an AI that has read your genetic data.

  • Upload your DNA file (CSV/TSV from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or others) — takes under 2 minutes
  • Ask any nutrition or fitness question in plain English — like texting a friend who happens to be a geneticist
  • Get a personalized answer that references YOUR specific gene variants, not population averages
  • Ask follow-up questions, dive deeper, or switch topics — it's a chat, not a static report
2

Works with DNA files you already have

If you've done any consumer genetic test, you likely have a data file sitting unused. Ask My DNA turns that forgotten file into a live conversation about your health.

  • 23andMe — download your raw data file from Settings → Your Data
  • AncestryDNA — export your DNA data from the Settings page
  • MyHeritage — download raw DNA data from your DNA kit page
  • Other providers (Nebula, Dante Labs, Living DNA) — CSV or TSV format supported

Real questions people ask their genes

Here are questions users ask every day — and the kind of answers you'll get based on your unique genetic profile:

  • 'Is keto right for my genes?' → the AI analyzes your fat metabolism genes (APOA2, PPARG, FTO) and tells you whether low-carb diets match your genotype or will likely leave you exhausted.
  • 'Why does dairy bother me?' → Based on your LCT gene variant, it explains whether you produce the lactase enzyme and how much dairy your body can realistically handle.
  • 'Am I built for strength or endurance?' → Your ACTN3 and ACE gene variants reveal your muscle fiber composition — fast-twitch, slow-twitch, or mixed — so you can train accordingly.
  • 'Which supplements actually work for me?' → It checks your MTHFR, VDR, BCMO1 variants and tells you which vitamin forms your body absorbs and which are a waste of money.
  • 'Why does coffee make me anxious?' → Your CYP1A2 gene determines if you're a fast or slow caffeine metabolizer — the AI explains what that means for your daily intake.

Why generic nutrition advice doesn't work

the internet is full of diet tips. the problem? They're designed for an average person — and genetically, there's no such thing as average.

  • the same diet can cause weight loss in one person and weight gain in another — their genes process macronutrients differently
  • Some people need 5x more vitamin D than others based on their VDR gene — a one-size-fits-all dose doesn't work
  • Caffeine stays in some bodies for 2 hours and in others for 8+ hours — your CYP1A2 gene explains why
  • Your genes don't change with trends or seasons — once you understand them, the insights are useful for life

a note on what this is (and isn't)

Ask My DNA is an educational wellness tool that helps you explore how your genetic variants may relate to nutrition and fitness. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet, supplement routine, or exercise program. the AI provides information based on published genetic research — it does not diagnose conditions or prescribe treatments.

FAQs

What DNA file formats do you support?
We support CSV and TSV files from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, Nebula Genomics, Living DNA, Dante Labs, and most other consumer genetic testing services. If you have a raw data file from any provider, it will likely work. Upload takes under 2 minutes.
How is this different from the health reports I already got from 23andMe?
23andMe gives you a fixed set of pre-written reports. Ask My DNA lets you ask ANY question about nutrition and fitness — and get answers specific to your genotype. Think of it as the difference between reading a brochure and having a conversation with someone who's actually looked at your data.
Can I ask about specific diets like keto, paleo, or Mediterranean?
Yes — that's one of the most popular question types. the AI analyzes your fat metabolism, carb sensitivity, and other relevant gene variants to tell you how well a specific diet matches your genetics. You can also ask follow-up questions like 'What should I modify about keto to make it work for me?'
Is this medical advice?
No. Ask My DNA is an educational wellness tool. It helps you understand how your genetic variants may influence nutrition and fitness, based on published research. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace your doctor. Think of it as a way to learn about your genes so you can have more informed conversations with healthcare professionals.
What if I don't have a DNA test yet?
You'll need a raw data file from a consumer genetic test to use Ask My DNA. Tests from 23andMe or AncestryDNA (starting around $99) are the most common. Once you have your results, download the raw data file and upload it to start chatting.
How accurate are the answers?
the AI references your actual genetic variants and cross-references them with published research from databases like ClinVar, PharmGKB, and peer-reviewed studies. It tells you which gene variants you carry and what the research says about them. However, genetics is one factor among many — environment, lifestyle, and other factors also matter, which is why we recommend discussing significant changes with your doctor.
