Histamine Intolerance: Genetic Report, Supplements, and Real Solutions
Genetics plays a big role in how well your body breaks down histamine. You can use your genetic data to figure out if your genes are part of the reason why you have histamine intolerance.
Long Covid: Genetics, Multiple Causes, and Possible Solutions
Long Covid is the persistence of symptoms after having COVID-19. Learn more about the underlying causes and treatments backed by the newest research.
CoQ10: Genes, Benefits, and Mitochondrial Energy
CoQ10, or ubiquinone, is an integral part of mitochondrial energy production. It is also used as a lipid-soluble antioxidant. Learn how age and genes affect it.
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1): Regulator of Clotting
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor (PAI-1) is an important enzyme in the regulation of the breakdown of blood clots and fibrosis. Genetic variants impact the amount of PAI-1.
Naltrexone: LDN & Genetics
The use of low dose naltrexone (LDN) can be an effective treatment for some autoimmune diseases, pain syndromes, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Learn how this opioid antagonist works on the immune system and how your genetics can play a part in its efficacy.
Nattokinase and Lumbrokinase: Natural supplements for clots
Two natural fibrinolytics to reduce clotting are nattokinase and lumbrokinase. Learn more about these options based upon the newest research and clinical trials.
Luteolin: Antihistamine, Memory, and Brain Fog
New research suggests the benefits of luteolin (a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and herbs) may include anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
Neuropilins: Healthy blood vessels, lymphedema, Covid brain
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.
ADRA1A Receptors: Blood vessel reactions under stress
We have many systems in place to control blood pressure and heart rate. The ADRA1A receptors are part of this system. Discover how variants can influence blood vessel stress response and how others are connected to cognitive changes.
Long Spike
Discover the research and genetic links to why you may be more susceptible to certain outcomes with long spike.
Tryptophan Pathways: Kynurenine, Serotonin, and Melatonin
Tryptophan is an amino acid that the body uses to make serotonin and melatonin. Genetic variants can impact the amount of tryptophan that is used for serotonin. This can influence mood, sleep, neurotransmitters, and immune response.
APOBEC3 Family of Genes
The APOBEC3 family of enzymes has a unique way of stopping viruses from replicating. Your genes can affect whether the virus becomes inactive or more virulent.
Small Fiber Neuropathy: Genetics, Causes, and Possible Solutions
Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) results in burning pain, numbness, odd sensations, or autonomic nervous system issues. Learn more about the possible causes and potential solutions to this debilitating disorder.
7 genetic variants that increase your risk of blood clots
Some people are unique in their ability to form clots more easily. This article covers six different genes and the seven genetic variants that increase the risk of blood clots. It is a timely topic because blood clots seem to be a severe complication for people with COVID-19.
Spike Protein, Mast Cells, Histamine, and Heart Rhythms
Do you know of someone with unexplained heart palpitations, spiking blood pressure, dizziness, and tinnitus? Discover how research is linking these symptoms to histamine, mast cells, and the spike protein.
Thiamine: Genomics, cellular energy, and cognitive function
Also known as vitamin B1, thiamine is essential for energy production and brain function. Learn how your genes influence your need for thiamine.
Gargling: Clinical trials on reducing respiratory infections
Does gargling really work for reducing upper respiratory infections? Learn more with a look at the research behind this easy preventive measure and decide whether you should give it a shot.
Quercetin: Scientific Studies + Genetic Connections
Quercetin is a natural flavonoid acting as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This article focuses on the results of clinical trials involving quercetin and links to specific genetic topics. Using your genetic data, you can make a more informed decision on whether quercetin is worth trying.
Genetic Variant Linked to Side Effects from mRNA vaccines
Will you get side effects from mRNA vaccines? A genetic variant in the HLA-A gene might cause an increase in your response to the vaccine.
TLR7: Susceptibility to COVID-19
In recent research, mutations in TLR7 (a sensor in our innate immune system) might cause severe Covid-19 in a small minority of healthy people.
Research roundup: Preventing and mitigating COVID-19
An introduction to a series of articles on the research into things that may help to mitigate some of your risk in SARS-Cov-2 infections.
Research Studies on Plant Compounds for SARS-CoV-2
This article explains the current research (August 2021) on natural compounds that may help to combat SARS-CoV-2. Included are clinical trial results on nigella sativa, curcumin, and quercetin.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Genetics, Causes, Symptoms, and Management Strategies
Do you feel lightheaded when you stand? Does your heart suddenly race? POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) is a problem with the way that your autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate.
There are multiple triggers or root causes of this syndrome, and genetic variants can increase your risk for POTS.
Research studies on melatonin and SARS-CoV-2
The research on melatonin shows that it plays an important role in our body’s inflammatory response to pathogens. Learn more about the current research on melatonin for COVID-19 and the science behind how it impacts immune response.
