About HomeDNA
HomeDNA offers separate genetic wellness tests for weight management and food or pet-sensitivity predispositions. A physician of record authorizes the cheek-swab test, and results are available online. The sensitivity test describes genetic tendencies rather than diagnosing an allergy.

Turning a weight report into practical ideas
Ellen reviewed a complimentary Healthy Weight test in 2018. She found the report easy to follow and appreciated its meal and exercise plans, although she questioned the calorie recommendation.

Using a skin report to choose ingredients more deliberately
In her 2017 review of a complimentary test, Claudia used HomeDNA’s Skin Care report to build a skincare shopping list. She liked the ingredient suggestions but questioned a pigmentation result that did not match her experience.
