2x greater weight loss*

* In studies conducted by Phenomix Sciences and Mayo Clinic, patients following a phenotype-guided weight-loss program have been shown to lose 2x more total body weight than those in a non-phenotype-guided program

Why one-size-fits-all does not work

Everyone’s body is different, specifically in how we process, store and use energy.


Digestion

Even after eating enough food, the stomach can send the wrong signals to the brain — making you hungry again too soon.

Brain signals

The brain can miss the message that you've eaten enough to be full; and errors with reward signaling can cause you to eat more than your body needs.

Metabolic speed

The body may burn and store energy differently than others — meaning weight can build up even when you're eating the same amount as everyone else.
"I wasted 25 years of my life struggling with weight and I could have lost weight sooner if I knew about the MyPhenome test. It gave me the tools to help me lose weight and maintain the weight. I wish I would have known about this information sooner."
Anna Olsen
Female, Age 36
Quoted from NPR
"It's amazing to see how my patient's perspective shifts after getting their MyPhenome test results. I see this unburdening of their weight loss "failure" in their faces. They tell me they are no longer ashamed or embarrassed about their weight loss struggle. Their joy in finding out why they have struggled to lose weight and what will help them achieve their goals is palpable."

"No matter what I do, these ‘miracle drugs’ don’t work. It felt extremely defeating.

[After MyPhenome] Ms. Layeux started taking phentermine alongside Zepbound to address both issues. She lost 20 pounds within a month."

Have you experienced below expected weight loss?

Your phenotype is the key to understanding how your body responds to nutrition, physical activity and medical interventions.

MyPhenome® detects the presence or absence of three distinct obesity phenotypes, enabling you and your clinician to select the most effective anti-obesity therapy from the start.

MyPhenome® Test identifies your root-cause (phenotype), and informs which therapeutic pathway will work best

What's your phenotype?

Select a phenotype below to learn more.

Hungry Brain®
Hungry Gut®
Emotional Hunger®
The Hungry Brain® phenotype may present with the ability to eat an increased volume of calories during a meal. This is due to genetic variants affecting satiation pathways.

Satiation is the feeling of fullness that tells the brain when it’s time to stop eating. With a hungry brain, the brain is unable to determine when a meal is over, resulting in increased food consumption during a meal.

Therapies targeted toward the Hungry Brain® phenotype are meant to help support you in feeling full, without excessive calorie consumption.
The Hungry Gut® phenotype may present with an increased frequency of hunger throughout the day. This is due to genetic variations affecting post-prandial satiety pathways.

Satiety is the sense of feeling full after a meal. With a hungry gut, individuals often feel full at the end of a meal but find themselves hungry again shortly after. This is caused by the food emptying out of the stomach faster than other phenotypes.

Therapies targeted toward the Hungry Gut® phenotype are meant to help support you in staying full between meals, without excessive calorie consumption.
The Emotional Hunger® phenotype may present with an increased appetite and cravings in response to both positive and negative emotions. This is due to genetic variations affecting neurotransmitters in hedonic pathways.

Hedonic pathways manage the brain's reward system. With Emotional Hunger®, individuals often consume extra calories in response to frequent cravings, anxiety, and/or depression.

Therapies targeted toward the Emotional Hunger® phenotype are meant to help support you in keeping cravings satisfied while managing triggers to reduce excessive calorie intake.
