Your Recommendations Summary
A ranked list of foods, nutrients and lifestyle factors to focus on or avoid, highest priority first, each scored by how strongly your genetics support 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.
CFood sits in the same list. The Mediterranean diet ranks alongside the supplements, so you can start with what you eat.
DSupplements name the exact form, here methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin or adenosylcobalamin for B12, because the form affects how well your body can use it.
Talk to your doctor before you start a supplement.

Where your genes disagree
When different genes pull in opposite directions, we show you both sides and the scores 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, Folinic acid/Calcium Folinate scores 190 for Focus and 70 for Avoid.
It ranks higher on the Focus side, and the Avoid score still counts.

The genes it reads
This report analyzes 29 genes across these areas.
Appetite and satiety
The FTO gene
Fat absorption and storage
Thermogenesis
Blood sugar and insulin
Cravings and reward eating.
Your internal clock
The methylation connection
See every area and gene
This report reads 29 genes across eight biological pathways that shape weight:
Appetite and satiety. How clearly your brain hears the “you are full” signal (LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1).
The FTO gene. The most replicated obesity gene, and why it leaves some people hungry again sooner.
Fat absorption and storage. How efficiently you pull fat from food and build fat cells (FABP2, PPARG, APOA2).
Thermogenesis. How many calories your body releases as heat at rest (UCP2, ADRB2).
Blood sugar and insulin. How you manage glucose, and how that pushes energy toward fat storage (TCF7L2, ADIPOQ, SH2B1, GNPDA2).
Cravings and reward eating. Why some brains need more food to feel satisfied (BDNF, DRD2 and others).
Your internal clock. How meal timing interacts with your circadian rhythm (CLOCK).
The methylation connection. How a key B-vitamin pathway influences weight-related genes (MTHFR).
Is it right for you
Who it's for, and what it doesn't do
Who it's for
This report tends to be most useful if you already have a DNA file and have wondered what else it can tell you, if standard weight loss diets have worked differently for you than for the people around you, or if you want a starting point grounded in your own biology rather than the latest trend.
It pairs naturally with the Methylation and Diet Report, and the same DNA file will power additional Noorns reports as they are released, including hormone and thyroid reports currently in development.
The science, briefly
Why the same diet works differently for different people
If a diet that worked for a friend did little for you, your genes may be part of the reason.
Some of the strongest findings in nutrition are not about the food on its own. They are about the interaction between a food and a gene.
Saturated fat and APOA2
APOA2 is an example of a gene interacting with diet: its association with weight gain depends on saturated fat intake.
In your reportThe report checks whether this pattern applies to your variants, helping put dietary fat among your priorities.
Read the full explanation
If you carry the APOA2 risk variant, saturated fat drives weight gain mainly above about 22 grams per day. Stay under that threshold and the genetic risk is effectively neutralized. This gene-diet interaction has been replicated across American, European and Southeast Asian populations.
Dietary fat and TCF7L2
In randomized trials, people carrying a TCF7L2 variant lost more weight and body fat on lower-fat diets than higher-fat ones.
In your reportYour genotype helps the report put macronutrient balance in context, rather than giving everyone the same starting point.
Read the full explanation
In randomized trials, carriers of the TCF7L2 variant lost noticeably more weight and body fat on lower-fat diets than on higher-fat ones. Knowing your genotype can point your macronutrient balance in the right direction from day one.
Exercise and FTO
FTO affects appetite and is the most studied obesity gene. Regular physical activity reduces its association with body weight.
In your reportThe report weighs exercise alongside food choices so your result points to something you can act on.
Read the full explanation
FTO is the most studied obesity gene, and it works mostly by nudging appetite. Regular physical activity reduces its effect on body weight by roughly 30 percent, even in people carrying the highest-risk version.
That is the case for personalization in three findings. The average recommendation has to cover everyone. Yours does not.
More on the science behind this report
Most weight advice is written for the average person. You are not the average person. Research attributes 40 to 70 percent of the difference in body weight between individuals to genetics.
That does not mean your genes decide your weight. It means they set the starting conditions: how hungry you feel, how your body handles fat and sugar, how many calories you burn at rest, and which foods light up your reward system.
The Weight and Metabolism Report reads the specific variants behind those processes and turns them into a short, prioritized list of food and nutrition changes that fit your biology. Your genes are the seeds. Your daily choices are the soil. This nutrigenomics report tells you which seeds you are working with.
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 and Science Deep Dive are there for when you want to go deeper, or when you are working through the results with a practitioner.
