“I also used other reports in past but none even compare to the length and detail of Noorns…!”

“I really learned alot about myself and the science behind it. Best decision moneywise and I use the advice every day now.”

“With my health, Noorns helped me to stop throwing darts in the dark and got me to the bullseye of the matter.”
Real pages from an example report made with a sample DNA file. Yours follows the same order, with your own results.

Your Recommendations Summary
A ranked list of foods, nutrients and lifestyle factors to focus on or avoid, each scored by how strongly your variants point to it.
AYour Focus list. Foods, nutrients and habits to lean into, with the highest priority at the top. An Avoid list follows.
BThe number in brackets is the item's score. Scores are a priority scale. The more of your genes that point to an item, the higher it ranks. They show you where to start, not a guarantee of results.
CSupplements name the exact form, here EPA and DHA for omega-3, because the form affects how well your body can use it.
DFood sits in the same list. The Mediterranean diet ranks alongside the supplements, so you can start with what you eat.

The genes it reads
This report analyzes 9 genes across these areas.
Dopamine signaling
Serotonin receptors
Calcium channels in nerve cells
Brain connections and repair
See every area and gene
Dopamine signaling. How your brain receives dopamine and clears it again (DRD1, DRD2, DAT1/SLC6A3).
Serotonin receptors. The serotonin 2A receptor that many mood medicines act on (HTR2A).
Calcium channels in nerve cells. How neurons generate their electrical signals (CACNA1C).
Brain connections and repair. How the brain forms, maintains and repairs its connections, and releases its messengers (BDNF, NCAM1, NRG1, DTNBP1).
Is it right for you
Who it's for, and what it doesn't do
Who it's for
This report is for people who want to understand the genetic side of mood stability. It is particularly relevant if you have a family history of bipolar disorder and want to see which of these pathways carry variants in your file, or if you have a diagnosis and want a nutrition and lifestyle starting point to bring to your practitioner.
Practitioners, including psychiatrists, integrative physicians and nutritional therapists, can use it as a genetic starting point to discuss with their patients.
The science, briefly
Why the same treatment works for one person and not another
If you want to understand the genetic side of mood stability, and bring something concrete to your care team, this report is built for that.
DRD2 and dopamine
DRD2 makes the dopamine D2 receptor, a target of medicines used for mania. The report reads more than a dozen markers for this gene.
In your reportIt lists food and lifestyle inputs linked to the pathway, including sleep. Read these alongside the report's treatment guidance.
Read the full explanation
DRD2 makes the dopamine D2 receptor, the main target of the antipsychotic medicines used for mania. The report reads more than a dozen DRD2 markers and lists the inputs linked to the gene, including magnesium, green tea, seven to eight hours of sleep and less screen time (blue light).
BDNF and the brain's repair system
HTR2A makes a serotonin receptor that several medicines act on. The report reads five markers, including one linked to citalopram response.
In your reportIt lists nutrition inputs for this pathway. Medication decisions remain a conversation with your prescriber.
Read the full explanation
BDNF is a protein that helps nerve cells grow, survive and adapt, and studies suggest its levels may be lower in bipolar disorder, particularly during depression. The report's BDNF list includes omega-3, curcumin, exercise, sleep, sunlight and a Mediterranean diet.
HTR2A and serotonin
BDNF helps nerve cells grow, survive and adapt. Studies suggest lower levels in bipolar disorder, particularly during depression.
In your reportThe report weighs inputs such as exercise, sleep, omega-3 and Mediterranean-style eating for this pathway.
Read the full explanation
HTR2A makes a serotonin receptor that many antidepressant and mood-stabilizing medicines act on. The report reads five markers, notes the one linked to a weaker response to citalopram, and lists folate, omega-3 and vitamin D among the inputs to focus on, with glutamate (MSG) to avoid.
Those are three of the 9 genes the report covers.
More on the science behind this report
No single gene causes bipolar disorder. Research has linked a number of genes to it, each involved in dopamine and serotonin signaling, calcium channels in nerve cells, or how the brain builds and repairs its connections. This report reads nine of the most studied and, for each one, lists the foods, nutrients and habits linked to that gene.
It serves two groups of people: those with a family history of bipolar disorder who want to see which of these pathways carry variants in their own file, and those with a diagnosis who want a nutrition and lifestyle starting point to bring to their practitioner, alongside treatment rather than instead of it.
Private by design
Your DNA file stays on your computer
Your DNA file is never uploaded or stored.
The report is built inside your own web browser, on your own computer, so your file is read where it already is. Privacy is enforced by architecture, not by a policy you have to trust.
No. You pay once for this report, and there's nothing to renew or cancel.
Will it work with my DNA file?
Raw data files from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage and SelfDecode work today. Tested somewhere else? Email info@noorns.com and we'll tell you whether your file works.
What if I don't have a DNA file yet?
You need raw data from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or another DNA service. We do not sell kits, so order a test from one of them first, then download your raw data file from their site.
Can I do it on my phone?
For now, generating your report works best on a computer. Once it's ready, you can read the PDF on any device.
What if my file doesn't work, or a run doesn't finish?
Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. If something else goes wrong, email info@noorns.com and we'll do our best to make it right.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. You can get a refund within 14 days of purchase if you haven't accessed or started generating your report. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. Email info@noorns.com.
Will my report update when new research comes out?
Yes, when we update the report. Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If we add new research while you still have a run left, run it again and you get the new version.
Do I need to be an expert to use it?
No. Most people read the Recommendations Summary, change a few things starting with food, and give it time. The gene pages are there for when you want to go deeper, or when you are working through the results with a practitioner.
Can this report tell me if I have bipolar disorder?
No. This report identifies genetic variants in the pathways associated with bipolar disorder risk and neurochemical function. Having variants does not mean you have or will develop the condition. A diagnosis requires a full clinical evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. If you have concerns about your mood or mental health, please speak with your doctor.
I already have a diagnosis. How is this report useful to me?
It shows which of the pathways it covers carry variants in your file, and lists the foods, nutrients and habits linked to each, so you and your practitioner have a personal starting point to work from. It is designed to complement your existing treatment, not replace it.
Is this report suitable for someone in an active mood episode?
The report can be generated at any time. If you are in an acute manic or depressive episode, we encourage you to prioritize clinical support and review the results with your practitioner when you are in a stable period. The recommendations are meant for long-term management, not crisis care.
