Manage your weight with your genes – not against them

Weight management isn’t just about counting calories – it’s a complex physiological and genetic interplay shaped by your body, mind, and daily life. Research shows that individual genetic differences affect factors such as metabolism, appetite, and nutrient processing. Why doesn’t the same diet work for everyone? Because our bodies are different – and so weight management should be personalized too.

Would you like to understand how your body works and what it needs to feel well? The Eat genetic test, based on genetic data, offers a clear direction for managing your weight – no guesswork, just facts about how your body functions. This knowledge helps you make smart choices in your everyday life – better decisions for managing your weight and supporting your diet.

Eat – the genetic test that unlocks weight management

Evogenom’s Eat genetic test dives into the genetic factors (polymorphisms) that influence your eating habits and how your body reacts to nutrition. Numerous international GWAS studies have identified genes linked to sugar cravings, satiety hormone regulation, and nutrient metabolism.

The test results can support both weight control and weight loss – you might even shed pounds without noticing, just by following your results! The key is to make small, gradual changes at your own pace – not everything all at once – so that new habits become a permanent part of your life. The Eat test provides answers to questions like:

• Are you more sensitive to sugar cravings or snacking? (Variants in genes like FTO and MC4R can affect this.)
• How does your body register satiety – is your appetite greater than your energy expenditure?
• How efficiently does your body utilize nutrients?
• What’s the ideal daily amount of protein or fat for you?
• Does your body benefit from slow carbohydrates in particular when it comes to weight management?
• If you’re losing weight, what kind of diet helps preserve your muscle mass? Does high fiber intake provide extra support for your weight loss?
• If you’ve already lost weight, what kind of diet helps keep the weight off?
• How much sleep do you need, and are you a night owl or an early bird? (Genetic variants related to sleep patterns, such as the CLOCK gene, influence your circadian rhythm and, in turn, your metabolism.)

When you understand why you make certain food choices or why weight management might be challenging, you can make lasting changes – without guilt or overly strict restrictions.

The genetic test provides a genetic profile grounded in research on well-known genes related to nutrition and metabolism. The result is a personalized nutrition profile based on your DNA, helping you respond to your body’s signals in the right way. Sleep needs and circadian rhythm are also taken into account to ensure you get enough rest at the right time. Quality and sufficient sleep is one of the foundations of weight management!

Additional products – support for making the most of your eat test results

The value of the Eat test increases when you smartly combine it with these additional packages: Minerals, Vitamins, and Fats. These products provide valuable insights into the nutrients your body needs – ones that might otherwise be lacking in your everyday routine. When you know how your genes process nutrients, you can better meet those needs.

Vitamins and Minerals – Support a body that wants to thrive

Alongside proper nutrition for weight management, your body receives support for metabolism, energy production, and satiety regulation. That’s why we’ve compiled a selection of vitamins and minerals especially beneficial in this context:

• Folate, B12, and vitamin D support metabolism and energy levels.
• Magnesium and calcium help muscles function and recover.
• Zinc, copper, and phosphate support the body’s energy production and metabolism, such as processing sugar and fat.
• Vitamins A, E, and A1 support cell renewal and overall body balance.

When you meet your body’s nutrient needs, you feel more energetic, and weight management becomes more natural. Genetic insights help identify which of these nutrients might be especially important for you. For instance, if your genes suggest a tendency toward low magnesium levels, you can start addressing it proactively.

Fats

Our additional Fats test is a perfect addition to your weight management plan, providing answers to questions like:

• Is a keto diet or a low-fat diet more suitable if you’re aiming to lose weight?
• Can paying attention to fats help maintain your weight loss results?

When you combine the Eat test with its additional nutrient packages, you don’t just get information – you get a concrete direction for making small but meaningful changes in your everyday life. When well-being goals are supported by gradual changes based on your own body and genetics, the results last.

Evogenom, a Finnish company, helps you understand your body better through the power of genetic information. We don’t offer quick fixes – we provide personalized insights that support your everyday life.
