Neurogenomics

The biology beneath your mood, stress, and focus.

Mood and stress aren't just 'in your head' — they run on brain chemistry your genes help shape. Understanding your dopamine and serotonin pathways, and how you methylate key nutrients, can make mental-health support far more targeted.

What you’ll learn

  • How your body clears dopamine — your 'warrior vs. worrier' stress style
  • Serotonin pathway tendencies linked to mood
  • Methylation status and its link to mood and energy
  • Genetic factors in focus, resilience, and anxiety tendencies
  • Nutrients and lifestyle levers that support your specific chemistry

Why it matters

Mental health is deeply personal, and genetics is one meaningful piece — accounting for a substantial share of differences in traits like anxiety and neuroticism. Seeing your biology can replace self-blame with a plan.

This never replaces professional care. But it can make nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle support more precise, and give you and your clinician a clearer starting point.

Example genes we interpret

COMT
Dopamine breakdown — stress response and focus
MTHFR
Methylation and folate status linked to mood
SLC6A4
Serotonin transport (the target of many SSRIs)
BDNF
Neuroplasticity, learning, and stress resilience
MAOA
Breakdown of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline

Examples shown for illustration. Your report reflects your own variants, interpreted by a specialist. Educational only — not a diagnosis.

From insight to action

Results become supportive guidance — targeted nutrients (like the right form of folate for your methylation), stress tools, and lifestyle levers matched to your chemistry.

Common questions

Can a genetic test diagnose depression or anxiety?

No. Genetics is one contributor among many and can't diagnose a condition. What it can do is reveal tendencies in your brain chemistry — like how you clear dopamine or methylate folate — that make support more targeted.

What is the MTHFR / methylation connection to mood?

MTHFR variants can reduce how well you activate folate, which is involved in producing mood-related neurotransmitters. Knowing your status can inform whether an activated (methylated) form of folate is worth discussing with your clinician.

Should I stop my medication based on this?

Never change medication based on a genetic report. Bring it to your prescriber — combined with pharmacogenomics, it can help them fine-tune your care.
