Diet Panel
Overview
The Diet Panel is a precision-based nutritional tool designed to help providers and patients
understand how genetics impact the body’s response to key macronutrients and dietary fats.
This analysis supports the development of a personalized eating plan tailored to metabolic
function, cardiovascular health, and long-term energy balance.
By decoding individual genetic predispositions toward carbohydrates, proteins, saturated fats,
and unsaturated fats, this panel delivers evidence-based dietary guidance that helps eliminate
guesswork and support sustainable lifestyle changes.
What This Test Covers
The report is divided into two main categories, each offering focused genetic and actionable insights:
Carb–Protein Metabolic Insights
- Carbohydrate Metabolic Response
- High Protein Intake Response
- Whole-Grain Response Modulation
Dietary Fat Dynamics
- Saturated Fat Sensitivity
- MUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency
- PUFA-Responsive Metabolic Efficiency
Why It Matters
Nutritional needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Individual genetic differences can influence how the body processes carbohydrates, proteins, and fats ultimately impacting weight regulation, insulin sensitivity, cholesterol balance, energy levels, and long-term metabolic health.
- Detection of metabolic patterns that contribute to weight gain, fatigue, or insulin resistance.
- Identification of macronutrient imbalances that may limit diet effectiveness.
- Development of personalized dietary strategies aligned with the body's unique needs
- Targeted nutrition, and lifestyle modifications based on genetic response.
Who Should Take This Test
The Diet Panel is ideal for:
Individuals looking to optimize weight, energy, and long-term metabolic wellness.
Patients struggling with blood sugar imbalances, cholesterol issues, or poor dietary response.
People seek clarity on how their body responds to carbs, protein, and fats
Functional medicine doctors building precise diet protocols into patient care.
Registered dietitians and nutritionists customizing meal plans with genetic data.
Providers offering integrative wellness services backed by actionable insights.
Health coaches aim to deliver smarter, more sustainable nutrition guidance.
What You’ll Receive
A detailed genetic report organized into two main nutrition categories with subcategory-level interpretation.
Grocery list aligned with diet type (vegan, pescatarian, eggetarian, plant based, pollotarian, omnivores, nut free and lacto- ovovegetarian.) macronutrient needs and metabolic needs.
One personalized diet plan tailored to the individual's genetic profile, diet type, age, and physical activity level. Secure access to results through the ExtendingME Provider Portal for easy review, sharing, and integration into care plans.
Risk-level breakdowns (High, Medium, Low) for carbohydrate, protein, and fat response traits.
Turnaround Time
Results will be available within 3 weeks from the receipt of the sample and will be securely delivered through the Provider Portal, enabling seamless access, viewing, and sharing of reports
Collection Method
ExtendingME kits include all necessary self-collection devices for non-invasive, at-home saliva collection, making it easy to deliver real-time, data-driven healthcare solutions without the need for lab visits.
