Smarter, Happier, and Focused…
Unlock the potential of your mind by understanding how your genes impact the production of neurotransmitters. Learn how to optimize your diet and lifestyle for mood, focus, and cognitive abilities.
Why Neurotransmitters Matter
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers of your brain, playing crucial roles in:
Where to start?
Genetics, epigenetics, and childhood trauma all contribute to BPD. Understand the neurotransmitter disruptions, inflammatory markers, and circadian rhythm issues—with solutions that work.
Neuropilins act as receptors and are found on the surface of cells. Learn about its many roles body, such as in the immune, vascular and nervous systems.
Trace minerals affect neurotransmitter levels and neuroinflammation. Getting the right levels of micronutrients can help optimize neurocognitive function.
Not everyone is equally susceptible to hypnosis. Learn how your genetic variants play a role in how your brain focuses and responds to hypnotic suggestions.
Lactate is much more than a workout byproduct—it’s a key energy source, signaling molecule, and regulator of metabolism, brain health, and disease.
Reelin is a key glycoprotein involved in brain development, cognition, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, and cardiovascular health.
Glutamate transporters and receptors carefully balance glutamate levels in the brain. Variants in the glutamate genes can affect how your brain balances glutamate.
Genetic variants in the ORPM1 gene impact both the amount of pain someone experiences and their response to opioid drugs. These variants are also important in susceptibility to opiate addiction. (Member’s article)
Discover how genetics, triggers, and personalized strategies shape migraine prevention and relief. Find actionable solutions based on your DNA.
Glutamate is synthesized from glutamine or alpha-ketoglutarate. Imbalanced glutamate levels play a role in several neurological disorders.
Genetic variants play a role in susceptibility to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Understanding your genes may help you understand OCD better and help you to target the right treatment.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in times of stress, and it also plays many roles in your normal bodily functions. It is a multi-purpose hormone that needs to be in the right amount (not too high, not too low) and at the right time. Your genes play a big role in how likely you are to have problems with cortisol.
Discover the complex interplay of genetics and environment in ADHD susceptibility. Learn how circadian rhythm and neurotransmitter genes contribute to the disorder, and how toxicant exposure may increase risk.
Explore brain fog in detail, looking at the physiological causes, genetic susceptibility, and personalized solutions.
Schizophrenia is a complex disease caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility along with environmental factors. Research points to multiple pathways involved in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
Genetic variants are linked to being a Highly Sensitive Person – feeling more deeply and more sensitive to environmental stimuli.
The MAOA and MAOB genes encode enzymes that break down certain neurotransmitters. People with low MAO may be prone to mood issues in certain circumstances.
Two key enzymes are needed for dopamine synthesis. Genetics, diet, and lifestyle can influence your dopamine production.
Creatine is an amino acid used in muscle tissue and the brain for energy in times of stress. Genes play a role in creatine synthesis. Find out what the research shows about creatine supplements for muscle mass and cognitive function.
Plasmalogen levels in the brain are key to brain health. Low plasmalogen is linked to Alzheimer’s and ME/CFS. Healthy ways to boost your levels.
Understand the connection between statin use and brain fog. Dive into the research on how cholesterol-lowering drugs impact cognitive health and memory.
Dopamine is a powerful player in our cognitive function – impacting mood, movement, and motivation. Genetic variants in the dopamine receptors influence addiction, ADHD, neurological diseases, depression, psychosis, and aggression.
For some people, low-dose, supplemental lithium orotate is a game changer when combined with vitamin B12. But other people may have little to no response. The difference may be in your genes.
Discover why inflammation causes depression and how your genetic variants in inflammatory genes may play a role in depression or anxiety.
While dyslexia is known to run in families, the role of genetics in dyslexia is still being determined. Here is a quick look at some of the genes involved in dyslexia, affecting around 10% of the population.
