Vitamin C: Nutrigenomics, Transport, and Genetic Deficiency

Like most nutrients, our genes affect how vitamin C is absorbed, transported, and used by the body. It can influence your risk for certain diseases and make a difference in the minimum amount of vitamin C you need to consume each day.

TNF-alpha: Inflammation, Chronic Diseases, and Genetic Susceptibility

TNF-alpha is a key inflammatory cytokine linked to autoimmune, cardiovascular, mood, and neurodegenerative diseases. Learn how TNF gene variants affect your risk and potential natural TNF inhibitors.

Inflammation as a Cause of Depression and Anxiety

Discover why inflammation causes depression and how your genetic variants in inflammatory genes may play a role in depression or anxiety.

Circadian Rhythm Genes: Our Internal Clocks

The body’s circadian clock regulates many different functions over the course of a 24-hour day. The genes that code for different parts of the circadian clock have a wide-ranging effect on sleep, mood, and overall health.

GABA: Genetics, Anxiety, and Immune Response

GABA (gamma-Aminobuyteric acid) is a neurotransmitter that acts to block or inhibit a neuron from firing. It is an essential way that the brain regulates impulses, and low GABA levels are linked with several conditions, including anxiety and PTSD.

Vitamin B6: Genetics, Absorption, and Deficiency

Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in hundreds of different enzymatic reactions. Low levels of B6 are linked to an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. B6 is also essential for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Lipoprotein(a): Genetics and Lp(a) Levels

High Lp(a) levels are a big risk factor for sudden heart attacks. Your Lp(a) levels are mainly controlled by your genetic variants. Check to see if you carry genetic variants that increase or decrease Lp(a).

Vitamin B12, MTR & MTRR, and Methylation

There are several genes that can influence your absorption, transport, and need for vitamin B12. Some people need higher amounts of B12, and some people thrive on different forms of B12. Take a look at your genetic data to see if you should up your intake of B12.

Prostate Health: How Genes, Diet, and Lifestyle Shape Your Risk

My Story…

Hi! I’m Debbie Moon, founder of Genetic Lifehacks.

When I first had my genetic data sequenced, I was both amazed and frustrated:  amazed by all of the genetic research available in academic journals, but frustrated by the disconnected topics and lack of accessibility.

I started Genetic Lifehacks to bridge the gap — to help everyone understand how their genes influence their health, diet, and longevity with practical and useful information based on current research studies.

With my undergraduate degree in engineering as a foundation and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences from Clemson University (2019), I’ve built Genetic Lifehacks into a platform that has helped over 4 million readers and 17,000 members to optimize their health through understanding their genetics.
