Getting Started: What is Genetic Lifehacks all about?

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I’ve been analyzing my genome since 2018 using various services (23andMe, Nebula Whole Genome Sequencing – WGS) and tools (GeneticGenie, IGV, iobio.io, SNPedia, etc.). However, this is the most useful site I’ve come across yet. I was skeptical because it doesn’t directly process WGS data. However, once I started using the service, I was amazed at how much quality information was teased out of the 23andMe data file. (I’m manually filling in the gaps from my WGS file, but even that is good in a way, because it forces me to slow down and analyze the results, and read the focused reports more carefully.)

What originally led me here was some information I was looking for regarding a just-released study of high dose niacin and heart health. Though the study had only been out a couple of weeks, I found a great report correlated with useful genetic information to help me better weigh risk vs. benefit. That alone was worth the monthly subscription fee.

Genetic analysis sites should turn data into information, but even information can just be dressed-up data without organization and skilled interpretation. That is where this site shines. It is superbly organized, with more amazingly well-done reports than some sites that have been around for a decade or more. I have yet to find any significant flaws in interpretation. (I thought I found one, and triple checked before submitting a question. Turns out I had missed the minus orientation in SNPedia, which led to a wrong conclusion. But the reply was gracious, thorough, and included pointers on how to avoid that in the future.)

I rate things by how useful they are to me – generally measured by how many actionable items I find to avoid slot canyons when addressing known health problems or to optimize things that are already working. This site is off-the-scale good. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I absolutely love this site! The articles are timely, relevant and based on peer-reviewed science. Where information is anecdotal or there are too few studies to draw a conclusion, Debbie Moon, the site’s resident scientist and founder, calls that out. Personally, it is has been incredibly helpful to me to manage my diet and health, and the information is constantly being updated. Finally, the genetic data is not stored or sold, making this site much more secure than most. Excellent value for the money.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I had been searching for answers to my chronic health issues since 2017 and remained undiagnosed—until I discovered Debbie Moon and her incredible website, Genetic Lifehacks. After spending money on countless DNA reports from big-name services with little to no useful insight, I honestly thought this would be another waste of money. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

What sets Genetic Lifehacks apart is the depth of information and actionable solutions it provides. This isn’t just another site that lists genetic mutations or health risks. Debbie’s articles offer real, science-backed recommendations tailored to your unique genetics. Even better, she keeps the content updated with the latest research, ensuring the information is always current and relevant.

I’ve been a subscriber for almost two years now, and as someone on a very limited income, I wouldn’t continue paying $9.99 a month if it weren’t worth every single penny. The knowledge I’ve gained here has been life-changing, and I truly believe I’d still be undiagnosed without it.

If you’re looking for answers and actionable steps for your health based on your DNA, this is the only resource I’d recommend wholeheartedly.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Reading about side effects of statin meds I’m taking and learned that the gene SLCO1B1 gene could be related to the muscle pain I’m experiencing so I came here to genetic life hacks and low and behold, guess who has that gene. Sad that being a 72 yr old woman means that you are dismissed as whiny or difficult by doctors because you don’t want to take a medication that 75% of their patients are taking. I wish I could be more hopeful that they would credit the science but I don’t think it will be in my lifetime but Genetic Lifehacks is an incredibly helpful to my peace of mind.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

There is no better genetic analysis that I can find. Genetic Lifehacks is the most comprehensive, best written site. One of the hardest things to do is to take a complex idea and simplify it, yet still remain accurate. This website excels at this. I have been a member for almost 5 years and the amount of hard work, research, and explanation well exceeds the cost of my annual fee. The amount of research each of the article entails is massive, yet each article is engaging, informative and intuitively answers all the questions that I have. 5 stars is not enough for the invaluable personalized information this website has given me.

I find the information from Genetic Lifehacks to be very informative. And best of all, you don’t have to be a scientist to understand! My only regret is that I don’t have more time to dive deeper and deeper into the topics that interest me. I shared this website with my sister-in-law and she spent hours reading various articles and came away with so many of her questions answered. Nowhere else had we been able to find reliable information, simply stated and with no underlying agenda. This has truly been a blessing.

I have been exploring my DNA since 2010 when I had it sequenced by 23andMe. I am very proactive about my health and love to share information with others. After using many sites to explore my genome, I finally found this site. What I love about it is that it doesn’t dumb things down and it does provide a plethora of useful information about achieving wellness. My supplement collection is now quite extensive and I feel healthier. I am 65, I am not on any medications and I hike 2 hours a day in all whether. Thanks Debbie Moon for your wonderfully detailed information. My daughter had blood tests done based on her DNA and her doctor was amazed to see how accurate her information was.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Prior to joining Genetic Lifehacks I spent hours and hours researching the various SNP’s and conditions that afflicted my extended family. My family has a history of cancer, depression, and severe migraines. I was determined to get to the bottom of why these two conditions had such an devastating role generation after generation. This site has made it so much easier for me to understand the various mutations that were passed down to me and my siblings, and now my children, and mitigate their harmful effects. Through this site I have learned that forewarned is forearmed when it comes to harmful genetic mutations and that occasionally a mutation has a beneficial outcome for me. Thank you for making my research easier and sharing your knowledge with the world! It is truly a blessing for me.

Debbie has an amazing ability to present complex medical and genetic information in a way that is easy to understand.

Her research is very in-depth and thorough and her articles always include references to back up the data.

It is well-worth a subscription so that you can see the relevance of your own genetic variants in the context of the article, as well as the-life hacks section for members.

I really appreciate that Debbie isn’t selling supplements or any other product so there is no bias or hidden agenda in her articles.

This is not a site that says ‘if you have this SNP – take this supplement’, rather it helps you understand the effect of your genes working together.

Debbie is gracious in her correspondence with you and very willing to listen to all points of view.

An abundant amount of information. You can look up what you feel need to know and things your just curious about without having to pay separate fees. The monthly subscription fee is reasonably priced, for the research and information you get in return. You can learn about the information provided, and seems to come from a genuine person who wants to help, not just make a buck, although it is not free, it seems if it were possible for this person to survive and provide it free they would, but they have bills too. You can jump straight to your info and skip all the reading, or really dive into it. I would definitely recommend especially if you are just starting out and curious about everything!

I began using this wonderful website after I had been working on my own research and analysis of my 23andMe and ancestry DNA data, which took months. This site helped me complete the job much quicker. I love the well-written text and links to the latest studies, which I had been searching for laboriously, all for what seems to me an incredibly reasonable price. It takes time if you’re like me and want to know it all, but well worth it for me and I’d guess for anyone who wants to know more about this fascinating subject, and keep up to date as more is discovered. People knowing more about it should help us understand that we have much in common, and also differences that we need to accept and, yes, give people a break sometimes!

I recently paid hundreds of dollars for a DNA report that purports to cover a wide range of topics on health and genetics. It has videos, slick interactive menus, sub-menus, sub-sub menus, lots of pretty pictures, and sells supplements, other merch… and does not come close to the detail and breadth of information available on this site and in the Top Five Topics report. I have buyer’s remorse for purchasing the other report (although it may be of some value), but live and learn. I highly recommend this site and the Top Topics report and am recommending it to others who are interested in learning about genetics and health.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I am 58 years old and have been sick for the majority of my life with one thing or another. It was just recently that I began to understand that most of my illnesses were autoimmune disorders.

I was adopted as a baby. By the time I reached second grade without realizing it, I was noticing that I was ‘genetically’ different than the other members of my family.

I was the oldest child out of five children. As it happens with quite a few women who adopt my adopted mother became pregnant shortly after my parents had welcomed me into their home. I have a brother who is just eleven months younger than I am. My father was terribly worried that the judge would not finalize the adoption because my adoptive mother was nine months pregnant when the court date came around to sign the papers making me a permanent member of the family. But the judge signed the papers and my mother ended up having four biological children.

In second grade I recall the genetic differences became very evident to me. I was the only one in the family with blue eyes. I was the only one in the family who would get sunburned. I was more apt to catch colds and stay home sick from school. I finally asked my parents if I was adopted. They confirmed my suspicion with “You were chosen!”

Growing up I was always sick with something and made it known that I wanted to locate my biological parents to see what else I should expect to happen to me health-wise. At the same time, I was almost constantly experiencing this foggy feeling in my head. It was made worse when I was sick. I could not think, and it was difficult to complete my schoolwork. I dreaded the sound of a sneeze because if it came my way, I was sure to get whatever it was that that person was sick with.

It was before DNA, but that was exactly what I was looking for when I started my search for my birth parents. That story is a story in itself and perhaps I will put it in writing one day but I managed to locate my biological parents when I was twenty-nine and learned that many of the illnesses I had experienced as a child ‘ran in the family’.

I continued to get sick and found myself on disability by my mid-forties. Doctors were not always nice to me. Many of them did not believe I was really ill. I wish DNA technology were there for me those years ago fighting with the doctors to please help me get better.

One day last summer I was going through all the vitamins and supplements I was taking. I decided that over the years that I was just taking too many and I really needed to cut back on and make sure what I was taking was really helping me. So I started with my B-Complex vitamins. I decided I was only going to take the B vitamins I really needed to take so I started doing research on the individual B Vitamins starting at the beginning with Vitamin B1, or Thiamine.

I learned that Thiamine was an “essential vitamin’! I learned that Thiamine helped with fatigue and confusion. That it also reduced instances of numbness or tingling in the fingers, feet, and head. It also helped with my lack of appetite as well as many other health benefits I could use.

I also looked up Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin and decided that too was a vitamin I needed to take. I placed an order that day with Amazon for Vitamins B1 and B2. The Vitamin B1 or Thiamine arrived first, and I immediately started taking it the morning it arrived.

It was about 3 days later when I noticed that the ‘Brain Fog’ I had been living with was not so pronounced. Another 2 days went by, and the “Brain Fog” had gone out to sea! It felt like there was only sunshine in my brain and I was eager to find out why! That’s how I came across GeneticLifehacks and Debbie Moon.

I was doing one of my Google searches on Riboflavin (B2) and I came across GeneticLifehacks! I spent a few days with my brain fog gone reading articles that a week ago I would not have been able to comprehend. Debbie wrote about all different subjects that I found so very interesting and I got hooked. I signed up last summer and it was absolutely the best thing I have done for myself in forever!

Via Debbie’s articles I learned that I was taking medications for years that were doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me because my body did not metabolize those medications or that the medications were out of my system in less than an hour. And I learned how to look up ahead of time whether a medication will help me or hurt me.

Debbie’s articles told me that I had Statin Myopathy. No wonder I got sick every time a doctor tried to prescribe a certain medication for my super-high cholesterol!

Debbie’s research confirmed I was indeed Lactose Intolerant. It also alerted me to some allergies I was not aware of that could have been potentially dangerous to me.

I have several autoimmune illnesses and am a member of some support groups. I share with the other members what I learn here and I highly recommend to my fellow members to preview Debbie’s articles and if they like what they see get a DNA sample and upload it to GeneticLifehacks and be astounded at what they will learn about themselves.

I have learned that I possess several genetic mutations that now that I am aware of them my life is so much
better.

Debbie’s hard work made me realize that this information is critical. The future of the use of genetic information is mind-blowing. How I wish I had access to this knowledge decades ago.

Debbie is a teacher and a wonderful teacher at that. She is also a lifesaver! What I have learned here I know has increased my mortality rate significantly!

Thank you, Debbie, for all you do!

MM – Forever grateful!

what would I do without genetic life hacks I have no idea. I will speculate that I would be at the doctor all the time like my sisters are. I would be uncomfortable half the time and I would feel like I felt 5 years ago. old. in my opinion this is the way I prevent myself from suffering and potentially dying early in the same ways my parents did. until medicine catches up, I feel like I’m on my own with these complicated genetic pathway situations, but not completely because there’s help in resources. which is why I’m writing this here.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I have found the information on this site to be invaluable in understanding the possible medical implications of my genes. Debbie’s extensive research is amazingly narrowed down to an explanatory level that this non-scientist can understand at the outset of every article. She then provides tailored information on how my specific genes relate to the topic of each article. I especially like that she provides her sources of research with a convenient link to the applicable study. Then, above and beyond the identifying of potential medical implications, she gives “life hacks” for ways to address any issue of concern. She states up front that she is not a doctor; however, in my experience her knowledge and her openness to questions often exceeds that of many experienced physicians. She is also especially prompt in responding to questions. I more than get my money’s worth from this impressive site, and the information provided has been very helpful in discussions with my primary care provider.

I do not really follow my 23andMe genetics report at this time. However, I do enjoy the expert manner in which all the other data is provided. When I need to share health or nutritional info with friends or family, GLH is where i come for my data.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

So glad I found this site! I love all things scientific and was among the first to send in my sample to 23andme when they first started. However, the health reports based on my original data are now VERY few and far between (and usually something silly like whether you prefer salty or sweet snacks). I don’t care two hoots about that stuff, what I DO care about are health related things that are posted on this site, such as the most recent one about cold sores (that have plagued me my entire life). By copying and pasting the data she lays out in a very easy to follow format (into your 23andme “raw data” search bar) I have found out much more about important issues than I would ever have by just relying on 23andme to send me health reports. The best thing about this site is how absolutely well organized, clear and easy to understand it is. I would recommend ANYONE interested in genetic information to bookmark this site or JOIN!!! Thank you so much!!!

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

After doing my 23&me testing and finding out I have an MTHFR variant and uploading my file to numerous sites, everything was so confusing and I didn’t understand much at all. Genetic Lifehacks was recommended somewhere along the way from a FB group I am in. Let me just say, this site has been invaluable to me!! The information seems to be in depth and to my relief, understandable!! Thank you so much to Debbie Moon for this wonderful tool in helping me with my lifehacking!!!

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Having been a member of Genetic Lifehacks for well over a year now, I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the content, the presentation, the graphics, and the organization of this newsletter. Debbie has a way of presenting such in-depth material in an engaging and understandable manner. The cross-referencing from one subject to another, the manner in which each topic is personalized to individual members, and the “extras” she provides free of charge make this a must-read for everyone you know. She does a deep dive into every subject she addresses, and she is open and honest about how she reaches her conclusions and recommendations. Debbie demonstrates high intelligence, accountability, and integrity, making her a trustworthy source of information that I don’t believe you will find anywhere else. I genuinely look forward to each newsletter!

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

The clearly spelled out genotype data is invaluable, as many scientific reports use nomenclature that is not clear to the lay reader. Genetic Lifehacks also focuses on SNPs by health issue, something not easily found in searching NIH and similar databases.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

As a person who has accepted that my health and well-being are solely my concern and responsibility (having been disappointed for decades by medical professionals and their inability to provide me any advice or assistance on a level outside their comfortable, assembly line box), Genetic Lifehacks is an absolutely amazing reference tool for my own self-education and knowledge base when making decisions about being proactive with my choices. I am so grateful for the in-depth research contained within each article.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Genetic Lifehacks has been very helpful. You put together genes that are related or work together. The first two genetic companies did not. But you all need to look again at folic acid. Everyone keeps saying I should take folic acid because of my slow COMT, and good B9 snp in MTHFR. So wrong. DHFR results say I should not allow any folic acid in my body. I can’t use it at all. It is poison to me, and apparently everyone else.

I was so happy to have found Genetic Lifehacks! I was able to upload my raw data file from Ancestry and ended up learning so much more than I even imagined. It’s truly a great website to use for gaining knowledge on different genetic diseases/conditions but in a way that’s not overwhelming and confusing. I really enjoy reading the articles and love the way they’re written. It’s a great resource and I always find myself recommending it to my friends and family!

I’ve been reading GH for over 5 years, and love how it’s developed and grown. I got the individualized report, and it was worth every penny. I’ve also used several suggested “hacks,” and they’ve helped. Thanks for really excellent reporting and explanations.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I love this site, and the services that Debbie provides. I needed to treat my condition with natural remedies due to long term medication being harmful to my heart. There are no lies in DNA, and I now take the right supplements for me. I even learned about what could be causing an irregular heart-beat, as not mechanical afterall but caused by a missing vitamin. Best of all, I can take my new-found knowledge and ask for the right tests to prove my theory. I often tell my friends and relatives about Genetic Lifehacks, that’s how much I believe in it. I really do feel that this service is eye-opening to hidden issues that one may have or may encounter health issues as they age. I would recommend this site highly to anyone who wants to improve their own health. Thank goodness there is accessible and open information out there for us, and it’s affordable!

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Genetic Lifehacks has clarified a lifetime of unexplainable symptoms and also validated that all of the restrictive diets thrown at me were not going to help. Not only do I have the alleles for endometriosis and ADHD but others that give real life insights to managing my health. Knowing exactly how and why my system doesn’t break down histamines actually tells me what I can do to improve that process and reduce ups and downs. My family has a very high incidence of diabetes acquired in young healthy people. I dodged that bullet but learned that I still have some issues with my insulin response and specifically at night. Learning the specifics of these issues allows me to make small changes that are actually likely to have a positive affect on reducing inflammation etc. Just changing which daily multi-vitamin and antacid I take and not eating too close to bedtime can have a positive effect on my day to day health. It also shows me that most of the fad diets and “lifestyles” would either do nothing or actually make me worse. If you have issues with histamines then fermented foods is the worst thing you can eat, and cutting out gluten and dairy isn’t going to do anything for you but make you miserable. Seeing my individualized issues lets me make choices that may actually help. It has taken most of the guess work out of what I can do with my lifestyle and supplements to help myself and will definitely inform my next few visits with my doctors.

Best and highest use of the 23andMe data I’ve seen. Been a member for going on 3 years and I’m always thrilled when a new article comes out so I can check my data. Especially for those with chronic health issues, this will provide new insights and solid suggestions for diet, supplements, and lifestyle. I’m absolutely a GeneticLifehacks enthusiast.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

A month after turning 50 my brother died of colon cancer. Genetic Lifehacks picked up that I have the gene with a 40% more probability of colon cancer from red meat. My brother was making his own sausages with a machine and loved barbecued food. Thanks to Genetic Lifehacks I now take 5-MTHF instead of the standard supplement and at age 69 the polyps weren’t cancerous.

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

Absolutely love this site! I was able to nail down the cause of a whole swath of symptoms and actually TREAT them with 2 single supplements! This site helped guide me through each of my genetic variants and the pros and cons of each supplement used to treat them. Everything is written with minimal bias (I say minimal because everyone has a bit of bias, so I must assume there is at least some in here =P) and all sides of the story are presented fairly. I recommend this site to people all the time, and highly recommend anyone who comes across it to give it a try! Life changing for me =)

Review of Genetic Lifehacks:

I have been using genetics for several years to help nail down some mysterious (to modern medicine) health issues and reactions. I have gotten reports from just about every big name company, and I can say that what Debbie Moon has created has cracked the code 1,000 times over. Not only is the site as a whole carefully and strategically put together – the additional reports are by far the best I have ever gotten. I wish I would have found this about $10k ago lol. Highly and passionate recommend for anyone looking for the loose pieces connections.
