The story

A decade in human health.
Now, one dog.

Ned has been with me through seven cities, two companies, and a thousand miles of walks. He deserves more than guesswork.

I'm the founder of Gene Food, a genomics company in personalized nutrition. For almost 10 years, I've worked at the intersection of genetics, biomarkers, and nutrient pathways — helping people understand what makes their biology unique and how to optimize for it.

It was fascinating to discover that some of the same pathways we target in human longevity — NrF2, mTOR, oxidative stress — apply directly to dogs. The science translates. But nobody was putting it together for a specific dog, with real data, and real accountability.

Ned is 9.5 years old. He was born in San Luis Obispo and has been with me since he was 8 weeks old — through San Diego, Austin, LA, Jackson Hole, NYC, Michigan, and now Santa Barbara. He's healthy by every visible measure, but I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to actually know what was happening inside. To understand his unique biology, personalize his care, and give a senior dog who deserves it every possible advantage.

So I'm pulling his blood, studying his genetics, building him a personalized protocol — protein cycling, targeted supplementation, NrF2 activation — and measuring everything over time. Every step, documented on camera.

If it works for Ned, it can work for your dog too.

What we built

A health intelligence tool for dog owners.

I wanted the same tools I use for human health — bloodwork analysis, biological age, evidence-based protocols — applied to my dog. So I built them. Everything is free and open to any dog owner.

AI Lab Report Parsing

Live

Upload a photo or PDF of your dog's bloodwork. AI extracts every marker, value, and reference range in seconds.

🧬

Biological Age Calculator

Live

10 longevity markers from a 12-year study of 829 dogs. See how your dog is aging on the inside — not just how long they've been alive.

🎯

Health Protocols with PubMed Citations

Live

When bloodwork flags a concern — anemia, kidney stress, immune activation — you get specific nutrition and supplement protocols, each citing the peer-reviewed study behind it.

📊

Health Dashboard

Live

Track bloodwork trends over time, vaccines, medications, diet, and vet visits. Everything in one place. See what's changed.

🥩

Personalized Nutrition Engine

Coming

Dietary recommendations based on your dog's specific bloodwork, breed, age, and health priorities. Not generic feeding guides — protocols built from their data.

🧪

Longevity Blood Panel

Coming

A panel designed for healthspan, not just sick care. The 10 markers that actually predict aging — available to order for your dog.
