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.
What makes people more susceptible to chronic inflammatory diseases? The root of the over-activation of inflammation for some people could be the NLRP3 inflammasome.
Genetic variants are linked to being a Highly Sensitive Person – feeling more deeply and more sensitive to environmental stimuli.
Choline is an often neglected nutrient essential to a healthy diet. Your genes are important in how much and which types of choline you need.
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.
High homocysteine levels are strongly linked to an increased relative risk of cardiovascular diseases. Find out how your genes impact homocysteine levels.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is driven by upregulated inflammation. Learn how your genes interact with environmental factors to cause rosacea.
Two key enzymes are needed for dopamine synthesis. Genetics, diet, and lifestyle can influence your dopamine production.
The SULT genes help with phase II detoxification of estrogens, neurotransmitters, certain carcinogens, and steroid hormones.
Estrogen – from how much is made to how it is broken down – is dependent on both genetics and lifestyle factors and affects both men and women. This article explains how estrogen is made, how it is eliminated from the body, which genes are involved, and how this influences the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and fibroids.
Histamine rising in the early morning hours may cause early waking insomnia. Mast cells and circadian rhythm disruption at the root.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a genetic condition of inflammatory episodes that cause painful joints, pain in the abdomen, or pain in the chest. It is most often accompanied by a fever. FMF is often misdiagnosed as various pain-related conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or gouty arthritis.
