Feeling good is in your chemistry
Somaticode was built on one idea: when your body’s chemistry is balanced, everything else gets easier. We turned 25 years of genetics research into two tools anyone can use — today.
Approach
Somaticode approaches health and mood from three directions: baseline chemistry, real-time methyl supply measurement, and real-time adjustments through diet, supplements, and activity.
Baseline Chemistry. Starting with your baseline chemistry means no guesswork. Our scientifically-validated analysis pinpoints key factors affecting your daily mood related to methylation issues.
Real-time methyl supply. Life changes your chemistry every day. The Mood Sense test strip lets you see into a major factor causing those shifts right now — your real-time methyl supply — so you are never guessing about what your body needs today.
Real-time adjustments: Knowing which foods, supplements, activities, and environmental factors affect your ability to think clearly and make good decisions is the difference between reacting and choosing. We provide these as part of every result so you always know what will help and what will hurt.
At the center of it all
The Methyl Scale
The Methyl Scale is a visual representation of your body's methyl supply — the real-time level of methyl groups available to your mind and body. On the scale, −8 is severely undermethylated (not enough methyl supply), and +8 is severely overmethylated (too much). The ideal position, after a period of balancing, is near 0.
Methyl supply levels naturally shift at each stage of biological maturity:
Prepubescence (childhood). The majority of emotional and social framing happens during this time, and the "mood filter" plays a big role in how we process events, deal with stress, and form our self-view.
Reproductive (teenage years). During this stage, the individual's score begins to change. As the first big change, managing mood helps as children mature into emotionally healthy adults.
Full maturity (adulthood). Scores change again at this stage.
Postmenopause: the last stage for women. After menopause, the score goes back to what it was during childhood.
Somaticode's approach focuses on discovering, regulating, and protecting your methyl scale number through natural supplements, diet, and lifestyle — no medication required.
How it all began
The Origin
Founded by Amanda and James Bradshaw, Somaticode grew out of a personal mission: to solve the health, mood, and behavioral challenges they were seeing in their own family. After years of analyzing genetics, studying methylation, and developing dietary and supplementation protocols that worked, they realized this knowledge could help other families too.
Amanda founded Somaticode in 2018 to bring those changes to other families. James developed the first saliva test for methylation-based mood disruptions and the Somaticode app. Together, they built a whole-system approach to health that focuses on the body's methylation rather than just a few isolated genes.
By reducing the biological noise that distracts, disrupts, and unbalances our minds, we can focus on building better habits, making better choices, and accomplishing what has been put off for far too long. That is the purpose of Somaticode: to help people think and feel clearer so they can consistently make more level-headed decisions — especially about their health.
