Oxalates: What Your Genes and Diet Say About Oxalate Health Issues

Green smoothies have been a health fad for quite a while now, but these health drinks can be a double-edged sword for some people due to their high oxalate content. Find out if you are genetically prone to kidney stones and what to do about it.

Snoring, genetics, and solutions

Snoring: Genes and Solutions

Genetics plays a role in snoring —certain genes affect airway structure, fat distribution, and muscle control.

Mast cell activation syndrome genetics and solutions

Mast Cells: MCAS, Genetics, and Solutions

Mast cells are essential to your innate immune system, defending against pathogens and allergens. For some people, mast cells can be triggered too easily, giving allergy-like responses to lots of different substances.

New research on FTO gene variants, FTO and heart disease, viral susceptibility

FTO and m6A Methylation

Recently, researchers discovered that FTO is an m6A eraser that removes methyl groups from mRNA. This discovery has opened up huge avenues of research on topics from cancer to immune response to heart disease.

Vitamins & Nutrients: Exploring Nutrigenomics

Your genes influence how well your cells absorb, transport, and utilize nutrients. We are all genetically different, and your genes give you unique dietary needs and strengths. Genetic data can give you a starting point to know where you may need more – or less – of a specific nutrient. … Read more

Casein and Cow’s Milk Allergies

Casein and Cow’s Milk Allergies

Cow’s milk allergy can be due to your immune system responding to casein or β-lactoglobulin. Genetic variants in immune-system genes increase susceptibility – along with environmental factors.

Mushroom Intolerance: IBD, Ergothioneine and the OCTN1 Gene

Mushroom Intolerance: Ergothioneine and the OCTN1 Gene

Mushrooms contain a healthy antioxidant called ergothioneine. But for people with a SLC22A4 genetic variant, this antioxidant can be too much of a good thing, leading to intestinal problems. Check your genetic data to see if you carry this mushroom intolerance variant.
