MyPhenome is a genetic test that uses AI machine-learning technology, licensed from Mayo Clinic.
MyPhenome analyzes 30+ genes across the gut-brain axis to predict an individual’s weight loss response to medications, procedures, and lifestyle recommendations. MyPhenome test pin-points the root cause to your specific energy imbalance so that you know what approach to take.
If you have struggled with your weight, your genes are a good place to start to look for answers. MyPhenome test can give you and your clinician insight as to why and which treatments are genetically optimal for you.
Yes. MyPhenome is backed by several studies and over a decade of research at the Mayo Clinic by Dr. Michael Camilleri and Dr. Andres Acosta.
Knowing if you are Hungry Brain®, Hungry Gut®, and/or Emotional Hunger® helps you and your healthcare provider decide which diet and/or medication will help you lose the most weight. In clinical studies, patients who were on phenotype-guided approaches for medications and lifestyle lost 2-5x as much weight as those who were randomly assigned different weight loss medications.

The test is a simple cheek swab that can be done at home OR in the clinic. You’ll receive a kit to collect your sample, and mail it back. It’s important to note that MyPhenome must be ordered by a clinician.
The test requires you do not eat, drink, chew gum, brush teeth, or smoke 30 min prior to swabbing.
Kit includes:
Your results will reveal which obesity phenotypes are playing into your energy imbalance, and how you can tackle each one. Reports will include action plans (lifestyle, medication, and procedures) for your phenotype.
Phenotypes tested:
Yes. Your healthcare provider can order your test and have it shipped directly to you. Instructions will be provided on how to collect the sample and ship the kit back to us.

MyPhenome is backed by extensive research including over a decade of R&D at MayoClinic.
The best thing you can do while you wait for your results is to eliminate processed foods from your diet and try to reach as close to 10,000 steps/ day as you can.
Your provider will likely suggest a calorie deficit diet. Dr. Acosta (Mayo Clinic) recommends a calorie deficit of your measured or calculated basal metabolic rate minus 30%.
No. Taking medications at the time of testing will not impact MyPhenome results. A person’s genes will not change based on what medications they are taking.
Yes. Your results can help optimize any path you take—whether that’s medications, lifestyle changes, or a structured program.
Your genes are unique to you. Different people may respond differently to the same medication. MyPhenome uses YOUR genetic information to provide options for you and your clinician.
Absolutely. Phenomix complies with HIPAA regulations and uses secure data storage. Your genetic information is never shared without your consent.
