Your Recommendations Summary
A ranked, weighted list of nutrients, foods, and lifestyle factors scored by the combined signal across all your variants. Practical and prioritized, designed to take straight into a clinical conversation.
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. Cruciferous vegetables rank alongside the supplements, so you can start with what you eat.
Talk to your doctor before you start a supplement.
Your foods, rankedABCDCalled “Recommendations Summary” in the reportThe top of a Focus list, with four lettered notes. Your scores will differ. From an example report made with a sample DNA file.

Where your genes disagree
Where genes point in different directions on the same intervention, both scores are shown instead of hiding the tension.
1Two scores for one item. The Focus score weighs the variants that point toward it, and the Avoid score weighs the ones that point away.
2The higher score shows which way it leans. More of your genes point that way, and the other score still counts.
3What the scores can't tell you. They show genetic tendencies, not how your body is responding today. When the two are close, the report suggests talking that item through with your practitioner before acting on it.
Both scores, shownCalled “Conflicts” in the report
In this example, Quercetin scores 150 for Focus and 5 for Avoid.
It ranks higher on the Focus side, and the Avoid score still counts.
Items that appear in both lists, with both scores side by side. From an example report made with a sample DNA file.

Other risk genes and regions
See every area and gene
Dopamine signaling. How your brain produces, receives, and clears dopamine, a system long associated with schizophrenia and the main target of antipsychotic medication (DRD1, DRD2, DAT1/SLC6A3, COMT).
Serotonin. How your body makes serotonin and how your brain responds to it at the receptor level (HTR2A, TPH1).
Glutamate and synaptic signaling. How nerve cells release neurotransmitters and communicate through glutamate, a system implicated in schizophrenia (NRG1, DTNBP1, DAOA, FXYD6, NGEF).
Calcium channels. How nerve cells generate electrical signals by letting calcium into the cell (CACNA1C, CACNB2).
Neuroplasticity and brain development. How your brain grows, repairs, and adapts its connections (BDNF, AKT1, DISC1).
Inflammation. A gene involved in the body's inflammatory response that has been associated with schizophrenia (CHI3L1).
Fat and cholesterol metabolism. How your body builds and uses fats, a system linked to schizophrenia as well as to obesity and type 2 diabetes (SREBF1).
Other risk genes and regions. Genes and markers linked to schizophrenia in genetic studies, many still poorly understood (AS3MT, ABCA13, MAD1L1, TSNARE1, QPCT, SLCO6A1, FTCDNL1, SDCCAG8, ZEB2, ITIH3, DYM, and further markers).
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 schizophrenia risk or management. It is particularly relevant if schizophrenia runs in your family and you want a clear picture of your own profile, or if you or someone you care for has a diagnosis and you want an evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle plan to discuss with the care team.
The report describes the person whose DNA file is used. If you have a family history, use your own file. If you are making a report for someone you care for, use their own file, and only with their permission.

The science, briefly
How genes, food, and daily habits connect in this report
If schizophrenia runs in your family, or is already part of your life, this report gives you an evidence-based look at your own genes and a plan to discuss with your care team.
DRD2 and dopamine signaling
DRD2 makes a dopamine receptor targeted by antipsychotic medication. The report checks 13 markers and comments on your variants.
In your reportBecause medication works on this receptor, discuss any suggestions in this section with your psychiatrist.
Read the full explanation
DRD2 makes the dopamine D2 receptor, the main target of the antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia. A genome-wide study of nearly 37,000 people with schizophrenia found an association at DRD2. The report checks 13 DRD2 markers in your file and comments on the variants you carry. Because antipsychotic medication works on this receptor, anything the report suggests in this section belongs in a conversation with your psychiatrist.
BDNF and the brain's repair system
BDNF helps nerve cells grow and form connections. Studies have found lower blood levels in schizophrenia; exercise findings are mixed.
In your reportThe report reads six markers to weigh exercise, sleep, omega-3 and Mediterranean-style eating.
Read the full explanation
BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is a protein that helps nerve cells grow, survive, and form new connections. Meta-analyses found lower blood BDNF in schizophrenia, including in people not yet medicated. In one randomized trial in people with schizophrenia and cognitive difficulties, eight weeks of aerobic exercise raised blood BDNF more than in a control group, though results across studies are mixed. The report reads six BDNF markers and uses them to decide how much weight to give exercise, sleep, omega-3 fats, and a Mediterranean-style diet.
SREBF1 and how your cells build fats
SREBF1 helps control how cells make and take up fats. A marker read by this report was linked to schizophrenia in European study samples.
In your reportThe report gives more weight to polyunsaturated fats and DHA. That weighting is the report's own; the study did not test diet.
Read the full explanation
SREBF1 makes a switch protein that turns on the genes cells use to make and take up cholesterol and fatty acids. One study linked SREBF1 variants to schizophrenia in German, Danish, and Norwegian samples, and the report reads the marker it highlighted. For this pattern, the report gives more weight to polyunsaturated fats and DHA-rich omega-3 fats. That weighting is the report's own, and the study did not test diet.
Those are three of the mechanisms. The report covers 37 genes across eight areas.
More on the science behind this report
Schizophrenia affects about 1 in 100 people worldwide, and genes play a large part in who develops it. Having a parent, brother, sister, or child with schizophrenia raises the chance, and even so, most close relatives never develop it. The genetic part of the risk is spread across many genes that each have a small effect.
No single gene has been identified as the cause of schizophrenia. The genes involved touch dopamine and glutamate signaling, synapse function, immune function, and brain development.
This report serves two groups of people. The first have a family history of schizophrenia and want to understand their own genetic profile. The second already have a diagnosis and want a nutrition and lifestyle plan matched to the pathways their genes affect, as something to bring to their care team alongside treatment.

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.
Can this report tell me if I will develop schizophrenia?
No. It reads variants in pathways associated with schizophrenia, and each one shifts risk by a small amount. Carrying them does not mean you have or will develop the condition, and most close relatives of people with schizophrenia never do. If you are worried about symptoms in yourself or someone close to you, please speak with a doctor.
Can I use this alongside antipsychotic medication?
Only with your prescriber involved. The report's lists include some supplements and substances, among them stimulants such as caffeine, that can interact with some antipsychotic medicines. Bring the report to your psychiatrist or pharmacist before acting on any of it.
Is this report suitable during an acute episode?
No. The report is not intended for use during an acute episode. At that point clinical care comes first. The report is meant for long-term support, and it is best read with your care team once things are stable.
How should I act on the results?
Take the whole report to your psychiatrist or care team before changing anything. Make every change with your prescriber's agreement, including foods and drinks such as caffeine, and do not start or stop any supplement or medicine without them. A sensible start is one or two food or sleep changes, reviewed at your next appointment.
