Product description
The DNA Metabolism Analysis shows you how your body processes food. The 28-day plan and recipe book help you avoid starting from scratch again after you get your results.
The analysis provides insights into how your metabolism is predisposed to respond to weight loss: how your body reacts to fats and carbohydrates, how strong your sense of fullness is, and which diet type suits you. To do this, the lab examines more than 80 genetic variations in your saliva sample. These are SNPs, or individual inherited sections of your DNA that differ from person to person.
The analysis won’t lose weight for you. It shows you which habits suit your genetic predisposition and does not provide a diagnosis. Since your DNA does not change, one analysis is enough for a lifetime.
The DNA test is perfect for you if you …
- You count calories, exercise, and the scale still won't budge.
- You want to understand why diets affect you differently.
- You want to get started right after receiving your results with recipes and a plan for the first 28 days.
- You want to lose weight without having to start over after every diet.
- You want to know whether your genetic makeup makes it harder for you to keep weight off.
The thought
What comes after the result?
After the analysis, you know how your metabolism works. So what next? This is where the real work begins. The DNA metabolism analysis with a 28-day plan and recipe book bridges the gap between insight and everyday life.
What’s inside
What does the DNA metabolism analysis analyze?
Everything related to your metabolism when losing weight: how your body responds to fats and carbohydrates, which diet type suits your predisposition, and what your nutrient requirements are. You also get the 28-day plan and recipe book.

Your metabolism
What does the DNA metabolism analysis reveal about your metabolism?
Three things the test reveals about losing weight: how you process fats and carbohydrates, what your predisposition says about maintaining your weight, and where your nutrient needs lie.
Fats and carbohydrates
How your body responds to saturated and unsaturated fats and carbohydrates, and which diet type this results in.
Maintain weight
Whether your system makes it harder for you to keep weight off, and why that is not a judgment of your willpower.
Nutrient requirements
Where your system indicates an increased need for vitamins and minerals.
Here's how it works
How does DNA metabolic analysis work?
From home in three steps. You don’t need to make an appointment in advance.
-
Collect a saliva sample
You spit into the tube from your test kit through a small funnel. The instructions are included with your test kit.
-
Activate and return the test kit
You activate your test on the mybody x platform and send the sample back. You can also track the status of your sample there.
-
Report received
Your report will be available on the platform 15 to 25 business days after we receive your sample. The plan and recipe book are tailored to your results.
Then
Can I get help reading my DNA report?
Yes. If anything is unclear, talk to one of our specialists. The consultation is free, and they won’t try to sell you anything.
- Consultation with a specialist
- free, no sales
- Read anytime
- The report remains in your account.
- Valid for a lifetime

The boundaries
What can't the DNA metabolism analysis do?
It is not a medical examination and does not provide a diagnosis.
- It doesn’t take anything off your plate or tell you what your target weight should be.
- It says nothing about illnesses and does not replace a visit to the doctor.
- Genetic variants describe probabilities in population groups. They do not define you.
- The 28-day plan is not medical nutrition therapy. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, talk to your doctor first.
- There are no prohibitions in it. You decide which of its recommendations to follow.

I was really impressed by the DNA test - very insightful! I’d also especially like to praise this company’s customer service. The Help page already answers almost every possible question in detail. In my case, however, I had a specific follow-up question and received extremely competent support. I can wholeheartedly recommend mybody’s tests. Thank you!

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About DNA Metabolism Analysis
What is the DNA metabolism analysis with a 28-day plan?
The complete metabolism analysis from a saliva sample, plus MY FOODBOOK with a 28-day plan and 60 daily recipes. The “Weight Loss” package includes over 80 genetic variations in 24 analysis reports spanning around 140 pages.
After the analysis, you know how your metabolism works. And then? That’s where the real work begins. The 28-day plan and recipe book bridge the gap between insight and everyday life. A saliva sample that you collect yourself at home is analyzed. Your DNA doesn’t change, so the analysis is valid for life.
What’s included in the 28-day plan and recipe book?
MY FOODBOOK has two chapters across 200 pages. The “28-Day Plan” chapter contains a separate daily menu for each of the 28 days, while the “Recipes” chapter contains 60 daily recipes tailored to your nutrient needs.
There are no prohibitions. The plan gives you four weeks of structure, and the recipes give you ideas for meals and combinations that suit your predispositions. You don't need to do any research.
What sizes are available?
Three. “Weight Loss” covers over 80 genetic variants in 24 analysis reports. With “+ Sport & Exercise,” you get the scope of the Fitness DNA Test, with over 100 genetic variants in 32 reports; with “+ Nutrition & Health,” you get the scope of the NutriCare DNA Test, with 140 genetic variants. The plan and recipe book are included with every option.
Do I need the bundle, or is the test enough?
If you only want the analysis, the WeightLoss SLIM DNA test is enough. The bundle is worthwhile if implementation is your bottleneck, not information.
What does the DNA metabolism analysis show me?
How your body responds to fats and carbohydrates, which diet type suits your predisposition, and whether it makes it harder for you to keep off the weight you’ve lost. This also includes your feeling of fullness and your nutritional needs.
The analysis does not read a single location in the genome, but many, and combines them to draw conclusions. For example, the genes FTO and MC4R are associated with a predisposition to obesity, the gene ADIPOQ with regaining lost weight, and the genes FTO and NMB with feelings of fullness. Color-coded results in the report are not a finding that someone would need to confirm, but an assessment of your predisposition.
How much does the DNA metabolic analysis cost, and what is included?
The price is shown at the top of this page, depending on the scope. It includes the test kit, the full analysis, and MY FOODBOOK as a PDF with a 28-day plan and 60 daily recipes.
How long does the analysis take?
15 to 25 business days from receipt of your sample; it will be analyzed in Germany. Your report will then be available on the mybody x platform. Shipping time for the kit and return shipment is additional.
What does the DNA metabolism analysis not show?
It does not diagnose or say anything about illnesses. It does not promise weight loss or tell you a target weight.
DNA metabolism analysis is not a medical examination, and the 28-day plan is not medical nutrition therapy. Genetic variants describe probabilities across population groups and do not determine outcomes for you as an individual. If you have an existing medical condition or are pregnant, discuss any dietary changes with your doctor first. The report can help you prepare for that conversation.
DNA Metabolism Analysis with a 28-Day Plan: Results, Plan, and What to Do with Them
Buy DNA Metabolism Analysis: Results, 28-Day Plan, and Recipe Book in One Package
You’ll receive an analysis of your genes related to weight loss. The basic package covers over 80 genetic variations in 24 analysis reports, plus MY FOODBOOK with two chapters across 200 pages.
The analysis starts with a saliva sample: you spit into a tube at home and send it back in the prepaid envelope. You pay the postage. A specialist laboratory in Germany analyzes your genetic variations—the points in your genetic makeup where people differ. 15 to 25 business days after the sample arrives, your report will be available in the app and as a PDF in the customer portal. The basic “Weight Loss” package includes 5 chapters across about 140 pages. The second part is what sets this package apart from the test alone: MY FOODBOOK, with the “28-Day Plan” chapter, featuring a tailored daily menu for every day, and the “Recipes” chapter, with 60 daily recipes. If you’re only looking for an explanation and would rather plan for yourself, the WeightLoss | SLIM DNA Test is a good choice. It includes the same analysis as the basic package here.
Determine your metabolism type with DNA metabolic analysis: What exactly does that mean?
It refers to how your body is predisposed to process carbohydrates and fats, and how strongly hunger and fullness are wired in you. It is not a label that explains your weight.
The DNA metabolism analysis does not assign you to a type. It reads genetic variations from your saliva sample and assesses individual predispositions. This includes the “Uncontrollable Eating and Hunger” report on the FTO and NMB genes, which describes how strongly your sense of fullness is wired. These individual findings create a clear-eyed picture of your predispositions rather than putting you in a box. It tells you what you’re working with, not how much weight you’ll lose. A questionnaire describes how you feel today; your predispositions describe what you bring to the table.
Can you lose weight with DNA metabolic analysis?
The analysis alone won’t do the work for you. It explains why other people’s plans have different results for you, and the 28-day plan gives you four weeks of structure afterward.
People searching for weight loss with metabolic analysis have usually already tried quite a few things. Diets that worked for others but not for you. The analysis starts there, offering an explanation instead of a promise. It describes your predispositions for carbohydrates, fats, and satiety. If a plan works out differently for you than it does for the person who recommended it, that’s often less a matter of discipline than of starting point. The report doesn’t give you a target weight or prescribe a diet. What comes next is up to you. To keep the insight from being left in the customer portal, the 28-day plan and recipes are included. Four weeks is long enough for a serious attempt and short enough to stick with it. The goal weight category gives you an overview of all the tests for this goal.
At-home DNA metabolism analysis or in-clinic metabolism measurement: What does each one measure?
The DNA metabolism analysis reads genetic predispositions from a saliva sample. A measurement at a clinic records how much energy you’re currently using. These are two different questions.
If you’re looking for a metabolism analysis near you, you’ll usually find measurements of your basal metabolic rate, meaning your energy needs at rest, or blood tests. Both describe your condition on a particular day and can be repeated. The DNA metabolism analysis describes something else: your genetic starting point, which doesn’t change with diet or exercise. That’s why you don’t need an appointment. You spit into a tube at home, send the sample back, and receive the report digitally. It doesn’t measure your calorie expenditure or blood values. It isn’t a diagnostic procedure and doesn’t replace a medical examination. If you want to know how well you’re currently supplied with vitamins and minerals, a blood test is the right way to find out, such as the VitalCheck | Nutrient & Mineral Test Complete.
Long-term cost of metabolic analysis: Why do you only pay once for the DNA metabolic analysis?
Because it reads factors that don't change. Once collected, a result remains useful indefinitely; repeating the test won't reveal anything new.
With blood test results or a resting metabolic rate measurement, you pay every time you want to see what things look like today. You don't need to do that with a DNA metabolism analysis. It reads the inherited baseline you've had since birth, which stays the same while your weight, diet and training change. That's why the report becomes a reference guide. You can revisit it after a break, a move or when you start a new plan. What changes over time is what research has discovered, not your result. The price also includes something a test alone doesn't offer: MY FOODBOOK with a 28-day plan and 60 daily recipes.
DNA metabolism analysis or INFINITY DNA test with a 28-day plan: Which package is right for you?
Both include MY FOODBOOK with a 28-day plan and recipes. The difference is in the test: the Metabolism Analysis focuses on weight loss in its basic package, while INFINITY analyzes 140 genetic variations related to nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle.
The question is how broad your needs are. If your main concerns are weight, satiety, and why diets affect you differently, the basic package of the Metabolism Analysis is enough. If you also want to know how you process caffeine, lactose, and alcohol, and which of the more than 1,000 foods assessed suit your genetic makeup, INFINITY is the better package. It costs more, but also provides a much more detailed report: 8 chapters across 200 pages. Neither provides a diagnosis or promises weight loss. Find INFINITY with a plan at INFINITY DNA Test | including 28-day plan & recipe book.
