Three common goals & the flow for each
Goal 1
“Understand my DNA results.”
- 1Genome. Upload your file — see Strengths and Things To Be Aware Of.
- 2Findings. Read each finding as a tendency, not a verdict.
- 3Blueprint. Turn findings into better questions for a clinician.
Optional · Search — go deeper on any gene or topic.
Goal 2
“Improve energy, sleep, weight, or performance.”
- 1Quiz. Answer a 2-minute quiz about what you want to work on.
- 2My Path. Follow a 3-module foundation, one idea per module.
- 3Nutrition + Trackers. Align daily choices with what you learned.
Optional · Search + Coach — always-on second opinion.
Goal 3
“Understand my child.”
- 1Search / Quiz. Start with the pattern, not the panic.
- 2Data (Genome / Biomarkers). Add data if you have it — don’t rush to get it.
- 3My Path. Read biology in context, not in crisis.
Optional · Coach — turn worry into words a clinician can act on.
