Lifestyle & Wellness DNA Tests
Curiosity-driven, at-home DNA kits for sensitivities, diet and fitness insight, and ancestral origins — for personal discovery, not medical diagnosis.
Not every DNA test is about relationships. Our lifestyle and wellness kits are for personal discovery and curiosity — exploring possible food and environmental sensitivities, getting genetics-informed diet and fitness suggestions, and tracing your ancestral origins.
These are wellness and curiosity products, not medical tests. They do not diagnose diseases, allergies, or any health condition, and they're not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Think of them as an interesting starting point for your own reflection and conversations.

Who uses this test
These kits appeal to anyone curious about themselves:
- Food & pet sensitivity is for people exploring whether certain foods or environmental items might not agree with them.
- Healthy weight is for those who want genetics-informed insights to consider alongside their diet and fitness routine.
- GPS Origins ancestry is for the genealogy-curious who want to trace where their ancestors came from and how they migrated.
Each kit can give you personalized, genetics-based insights for your own information and curiosity. None of them can diagnose a medical condition, prescribe a treatment or diet, or establish a present-day legal or biological relationship.
What you’ll need
- The simple at-home collection kit included (usually a cheek swab)
- A few minutes to collect your sample and register your kit
- An open, curious mindset — these are insights to consider, not medical verdicts
Accuracy & methodology
These reports are built on associations between genetic markers and traits, or on comparisons to reference populations:
- Sensitivity screens highlight potential intolerances and sensitivities — which are different from, and milder than, true allergies. They do not diagnose allergies or medical conditions.
- Healthy weight reports draw on associations between certain markers and diet/exercise responses, offered as suggestions to consider.
- Ancestry estimates compare your DNA to reference populations and improve as those references grow; they're best understood as informed estimates of origin and migration.
Testing is performed by our accredited partner laboratory. Because these are wellness and curiosity products, results should always be weighed alongside professional guidance and common sense.
Testing is performed by our AABB-accredited partner laboratory.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these medical tests?
- No. They are wellness and curiosity products for personal information only. They do not diagnose or assess the risk of any disease or condition. Always consult a qualified professional about your health.
- Is a food sensitivity the same as a food allergy?
- No. Allergies involve a specific immune response and can be serious; sensitivities and intolerances are different and milder. These kits do not diagnose allergies.
- Will the healthy weight test tell me exactly what to eat?
- No. It offers genetics-informed suggestions to consider, not a prescription. Use it as one input alongside professional advice and your own goals.
- How precise is the ancestry test?
- GPS Origins can often narrow origins to specific regions, but ancestry estimates are inherently probabilistic and depend on reference data. Treat the results as informed estimates rather than certainties.
- How long do these take?
- Lifestyle and wellness kits involve more extensive analysis, so lab processing takes roughly 45 business days. You'll receive your report privately by email when it's ready.
Related tests & legal note
Curious about relationships rather than wellness? Explore our paternity, siblingship, and lineage tests. For deep maternal or paternal lines specifically, see our Y-chromosome and mtDNA tests.
These wellness products are never a substitute for professional medical advice. For diagnosis or treatment of any health condition, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.
Need results for a custody case, child support, immigration, or any other legal matter? An at-home test cannot be used for those purposes. You'll need a court-approved, chain-of-custody DNA test performed through an accredited laboratory, where a neutral third party verifies every participant's identity and handles the samples.
Privacy & data handling
Your privacy matters to us, and DNA information is among the most sensitive personal data there is.
- Samples are used only to perform the test you ordered and are destroyed after testing is complete. <!-- TODO: confirm exact sample-retention window with fulfillment lab before publishing -->
- Results are delivered privately by email and are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.
- Your DNA data is treated as sensitive personal information. While at-home, informational tests are generally not covered by HIPAA, we handle your results with comparable care.
- You can request deletion of your records at any time by contacting us.
