No, and I'll be direct about why that distinction matters. Genova Lab provides educational analysis of your genetic data and evidence-based optimisation protocols. It is not a diagnosis, not a prescription, and not a substitute for clinical medical care. What it is: a rigorous, science-backed translation of your genome into actionable lifestyle and supplementation guidance.

You'll need your raw DNA data file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or any compatible consumer test — in unzipped .txt format. After payment, a client intake form is sent to your email. Upload your file there and fill in the details. If you haven't tested yet, I can order a 23andMe kit on your behalf for $99 and ship it directly to you.

Basic reports show you a small selection of variants and tell you whether you carry them. We take your entire raw data file and analyse the variants that actually matter for optimisation. More importantly, we don't just report what you have. We tell you what it means, what the evidence says about intervening, and exactly what to do about it.

Your raw data file is used solely for the purpose of producing your report. It is not stored after delivery, not shared with third parties, and not used for any research or marketing purposes. You're not a data point, you're a client.

Six core domains: methylation and detoxification pathways; neurotransmitter metabolism and cognitive performance; inflammation and immune response; circadian rhythm and sleep architecture; longevity and cellular repair markers; and hormonal metabolism. Within each domain: interpretation of your relevant variants, what they mean for your physiology, and a ranked list of interventions.

Almost certainly, and some of it may be uncomfortable. Many sophisticated supplementers are unknowingly dosing against their genetics. The report will identify where your current stack aligns with your genetics and where it doesn't.

Reports are delivered within 5 business days as a professionally formatted PDF. The average report is 25–40 pages.

I need your raw DNA data file in unzipped format — a .txt file. From 23andMe: go to Settings → 23andMe Data → Download. From AncestryDNA: go to Settings → Download DNA Data. Once downloaded, unzip the file and you'll have a .txt file ready to send. Do not send the zip file directly.

After payment, you'll receive a client intake form by email. Fill it in and upload your raw DNA data file there — that's where I collect everything I need to build your report. You don't need to email me separately. Your report will be delivered within 5 business days of receiving your completed intake form.
