How to read your genetic results in the 3X4 Health app

For customers: A guide to reading your 3X4 Health genetic results

Once your genetic results are available, the 3X4 Health app turns your raw DNA data into a clear, personalized picture of your health, organized from the big picture down to the smallest detail. This guide walks you through each layer so you know exactly what you're looking at and where to focus first.

Where to find your results

Open the 3X4 Health app.
Tap the Helix icon in the navigation bar to go to Genetics.
From here you can browse by category, or start with your Highest Genetic Impact summary.

A few terms worth knowing

Pathway result: the combined result for an area of your health, reflecting all the genes that shape it together.
Gene result: the result for one individual gene, one piece of what builds the pathway result.
Variant: a specific spot in a gene that can differ from person to person.
Genotype: the version you carry at that spot.

No single gene is simply "good" or "bad." Each explanation tells you what your variant contributes within that one pathway, which is the accurate way to read it, rather than a pass/fail label.

1. Start with your Highest Genetic Impact

This is your starting point and the fastest way to see what matters most.

Your Top Cellular Impact: your single highest-impact cellular pathway (one of Inflammation, Detoxification, Oxidative Stress, or Methylation). These are the fundamental building blocks, since everything downstream in your body starts at the cellular level.
Your Top Systems Impact: your two highest-impact system-level pathways (for example, Heart & Vascular or Weight), which show where cells working together have the greatest effect on you.

Each of these shows up as a card with a short explanation of what that pathway or system does, followed by a personalized summary of how your own genetics influence it.

2. Explore your Pathway Results by category

Beyond your top three, your full results cover 35 pathways across 10 health categories:

Cellular
Brain
Heart & Vascular
Weight
Hormones
Blood Sugar Regulation
Muscle & Skeletal
Sensitivities
Nutrients
Activity

Tap any category to scroll through its pathways. Each pathway appears as its own card with:

Pathway name, on the left
Impact level, on the right, color-coded so you can scan results at a glance (impact tiers range from Low up through Very High, with color coding used consistently so higher-impact results stand out)
A personalized, plain-language summary of what that result means for you

Categories are shown as tabs you can scroll through horizontally, and they stay accessible from anywhere on the page, so you can jump between categories without losing your place.

3. Go deeper with Gene-Level Insights

If you want to understand the biology behind a pathway result, you can drill all the way down to the individual genes that shape it.

To explore your genes:

From the Genetics section, select a category and scroll to any pathway.
Tap a Gene Highlight card (the genes with the most influence on that pathway), or tap See all gene results.
Browse the genes influencing that pathway, ordered by impact.
Tap any gene to open its Gene Detail screen.

On the Gene Detail screen you'll see:

What the gene does
Your specific variant and genotype
Its chromosome location
A plain-language explanation of what your result means for that pathway, with any technical terms explained in everyday words as they come up

4. See what to do about it

Your results aren't just information, they connect directly to action. Your personalized recommendations (covering Food, Supplements, and Lifestyle) are built from the same three highest-impact pathways shown in your Highest Genetic Impact summary, so every suggestion is tied back to the genetics behind it and you can see why it matters for you specifically.
