My Story
Hi! I’m Debbie Moon. Welcome to Genetic Lifehacks.
When I first had my genetic data sequenced, I was both amazed at the research available in academic journals and frustrated by the difficult language and disconnected topics.
Genetic Lifehacks began as a way to share what I was learning about genetics with my family and friends.
My goal has always been to freely share information so that everyone can benefit.
As the website grew in popularity, I decided that I needed to know more… both more about genetics and more about how the pieces of the biological systems fit together. I went back to school for my Master’s in Biological Sciences and graduated in 2019 from Clemson University.
Now a full-time endeavor, Genetic Lifehacks has reached well over 1.5 million readers, equipping people to use their genetic data to optimize their health.
