Why we built Origins

We Built Origins Because We Were Tired Of Guessing.

We've spent years in this work as practitioners, facilitators, and people trying to feel good in our own bodies. We read the books, tried the protocols, and took the tests. Every time, the same thing happened: a report of interesting information, and no idea what to actually do with it.

Along the way we kept arriving at the same conclusion: lifestyle precedes health. Before the labs, before the diagnoses, before anything a doctor can measure, there's how you sleep, eat, move, and handle stress. That's where the foundation of wellbeing is built. Not by hacking your way around your biology, but by designing a life that aligns with it.

So we built Origins the way we wished someone had built it for us: your biology and your real life, turned into realistic suggestions you can implement in your life, plus a real person to help you do it if you want one.

Enjoy!

Six Ways To Transform Your Wellbeing

Your Origins Insights Report turns your genetics and your habits into answers you've been looking for and realistic recommendations you can make immediately to shape how you feel, function and age.

Sleep & recovery

Sleep Deeper & Wake Up With More Energy

Learn how to sleep and recover based on your own genetics, so you can build the kind of rest that restores you and carries your energy through the day.

Nutrition & supplementation

Know What Foods & Supplements Are Right For YOU

Learn how to eat for the way your body absorbs and processes food, so you can fuel steady energy without cycling through another trend diet.

Fitness & movement

Exercise The Way Your Body Is Designed

Learn how to be active in the way your body responds to fitness & movement, so you can put in effort that actually pays off, and recover in a way that makes it stick.

Stress & emotional health

Get To The Root Of What Drains You

Learn what sets your stress response off and which levers settle it, so you can catch it early before it spills into your sleep, food, relationships and focus.

Performance & longevity

Show Up Feeling Your Best Because You're Built To Last

Learn which small changes carry the most weight for your biology, so you can play the long game with a clear path to mind-body function instead of constant guesswork.

The Origins difference

Design A More Aligned Lifestyle

You're not a machine to force into peak performance, you're a body with its own design. Learn to work with that design, so the changes you make hold through alignment, not force.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Origins

What is Tandava Origins?

Origins is a biological lifestyle design program. It starts with an at-home DNA test and a detailed lifestyle intake, then turns both into your personal Origins Insights report: a set of specific, realistic changes across sleep, nutrition, fitness, stress, and performance. If you add the 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign, you walk through it one-on-one with a practitioner.

What makes this different from other DNA tests?

Most DNA products end where Origins begins. They hand you a report and leave the hardest part to you, which is figuring out what to actually do. Origins pairs your genetic results with how you currently live, and delivers specific plays rather than raw data. Add the 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign and a practitioner works through them with you.

How is this different from diagnostic services like blood-testing platforms?

Those services tell you what's happening in your body right now. They're diagnostic tools, and good ones. Origins is a lifestyle tool. We work upstream of the labs, in how you sleep, eat, move, and handle stress. The two can complement each other, but Origins never diagnoses anything.

Is this a medical test? Will it tell me about disease risk?

No. Origins reads lifestyle-relevant genetic traits only. There is nothing diagnostic in it: no disease risk, no medical results. It isn't medical advice and doesn't replace your doctor. That's a deliberate design choice. We stay in the lifestyle layer, where day-to-day change actually happens.

What is the Lifestyle Playbook, exactly?

Part of the 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign. It's a personal document built for you, not an auto-generated boilerplate document. It maps your genetic results against your intake, shows you where your biggest leverage is in each of the five systems, and turns every finding into a play: what to change, how, and in what order. It closes with structured advice for how you can make these changes realistically and sustainably.

What are the five lifestyle systems?

Sleep & Recovery, Nutrition, Fitness & Movement, Stress & Emotional Health, and Performance & Longevity. The fifth draws the other four together into the long view of how you feel, function, and age.

What does the test actually measure?

A simple cheek swab reads 90+ genetic traits relevant to how your body handles sleep, food, movement, and stress. It's not a full genome sequence and not an ancestry test. It's a focused panel built for lifestyle design.

The Process

How does it work, start to finish?

Four steps. You order, and your kit ships to your door along with your lifestyle intake. You swab at home and mail the kit back in a prepaid box while completing the intake. When your results arrive, we build your Origins Insights report from both inputs, and we let you know the day it lands in your portal. If you added the 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign, you then meet your practitioner one-on-one to walk through it and shape your first 90 days.

How long does it take to get my results?

About 3 to 5 weeks from the day you mail your kit. If you added the Redesign, your practitioner call is scheduled as soon as your report is ready.

What's in the intake?

A structured questionnaire about how you actually live: your sleep, meals, movement, stress, routines, and goals. It matters as much as the DNA. Your genetics show where your leverage is, and your intake shows where the gaps are. The Playbook comes from the two together, which is why two people with similar genetics can receive very different plans.

What happens on the practitioner call?

Part of the 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign. A live one-on-one video session where your practitioner walks your Playbook with you: what your results mean, which plays come first, and how to fit them into your real life. You'll leave with clear and realistic lifestyle changes that can be implemented immediately. Come with questions. That's what the call is for.

Who are the practitioners?

People who've lived this approach. They're trained in genetic lifestyle design and functional diagnostics, and personally transformed by the same process you're starting.

What happens after the practitioner call?

Your report, Playbook and dashboard stay with you, and from there you choose what fits: continued practitioner support, your 1-of-1 supplement blend, advanced testing as it becomes available, or nothing more at all. The Playbook is built to stand on its own and support you in creating real, impactful lifestyle changes.

Your Data & Privacy

What happens to my DNA sample and data?

Your sample is processed by our certified lab partner solely to generate your results. Your data is yours. We will never sell, rent, or trade it, and our business model doesn't depend on monetizing it. You can request access to, export, or deletion of your data at any time.

How is my data protected?

Our platform is independently audited: HIPAA third-party validated, SOC 2 Type II attested, and GDPR compliance audited, with AES-256 encryption for sensitive records and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Full details are on our Trust & Security page.

Can I delete my data later?

Yes. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

Purchasing & Logistics

What's included when I buy?

The DNA kit and lab analysis, your lifestyle intake, your Origins Insights report, and lifetime access to your dashboard. The 6-Week Lifestyle Redesign adds your Lifestyle Playbook, your first-90-days plan, a one-on-one practitioner session and six weeks of check-ins. Supplements and advanced testing are optional additions, never required.

How much does it cost?

Early access price is $549 and is subject to change once early access is complete to $700.

Why is enrollment capped at 15?

Because every report is reviewed by hand and every Redesign member gets real practitioner time, we're starting small on purpose: 15 people we can serve properly, whose experience will shape how Origins grows. When these spots fill, enrollment closes until the next cohort.

Where do you ship?

United States, Canada & Europe, more regions coming soon.

What's your refund policy?

We keep it simple. Before your kit ships, you can cancel for a full refund. Once your sample has been processed and your results are in, your report is already being built for you, so refunds no longer apply. If you have questions before ordering, reach out and we'll help you decide if Origins is right for you.

Is the supplement a subscription? Can I cancel?

The 1-of-1 blend is an optional recurring delivery formulated from your own results. You can cancel anytime.

I've already done a DNA test elsewhere. Can I use those results?

No, this report is coordinated in a very specific way, so other DNA testing will not suffice.

Is It Right For Me?

I've already tried a lot of health advice. How is this going to be different?

That's most of who Origins is for. Generic advice fails not because you lack discipline, but because it was built for someone else's body. Origins starts from yours. Instead of more information, you get a short list of changes in the right order, with a person to keep it realistic.

I'm already pretty healthy. Is there anything here for me?

Often the most. People already paying attention tend to have a few habits quietly working against their own biology, and the intake-versus-genetics comparison is built to surface exactly those.

Do I need to be interested in psychedelics or retreats?

No. Origins is a standalone program, complete in itself. Tandava also runs retreats, and some members choose to explore that later, but nothing about Origins requires or assumes it.

Do I need to be tech-savvy or a "data person"?

No. The whole point of Origins is that you don't interpret anything yourself. Your report translates everything into plain language and concrete plays.

What if I don't like what my results say?

There are no bad results in a lifestyle panel: no diagnoses, no risk scores. Every result is simply information about how your body prefers to operate, and every one becomes something usable in your Playbook.
