Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes causes changes in the way that collagen forms in the joints, ligaments, and skin. Explore the research on EDS and the genetic mutations that cause some of the subtypes of the disorder.
My goal is to help you understand how to make the necessary changes to solve a health challenge or customize your diet for optimal health-all based on your genes. You can use raw genetic data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, etc. Genetic Lifehacks focuses on three key strategies: Learn, Experiment, and Optimize. There are 350+ in-depth articles explaining how your genes interact with health, nutrition, and your environment. Learn Each article starts with an explanation of the background science so that you can put your genetic data into context. You’ll go beyond the general stuff that most articles talk about so that you can actually understand the topic. Experiment: Every article includes evidence-based solutions or ‘lifehacks’ to apply based on your genes. Everyone is unique. You can choose what works for your situation. Optimize: Current health and genetics research is always included so you can fine-tune your supplements or lifestyle changes to improve your quality of life based on your individual genetic variants (SNPs). What Genetic Lifehacks does NOT do: Genetic Lifehacks is your guide to informed health decisions, not a … Read more

As a busy professional, your time is precious. These learning resources are designed to give you the essentials in a fast, visual format.
Nickel allergy can cause sensitivity to foods that contain nickel. Learn about how genes increase susceptibility and solutions.
Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a signaling molecule important in the immune response. Excessive IL-13 can tip you toward a Th2-dominant immune response, and variants increase the risk of allergies and asthma.
Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by an immune system attack on the joints, causing thickening and inflammation of the joint capsule. It is caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers.
Not everyone gets sick when exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While there are many factors that come into play here, research points to genetics as playing a role. Several good genetic studies have recently been released showing which genes are important in COVID-19 susceptibility. Learn more and check your genes.
Genetics plays a role in the likelihood of having chronic sinus problems. This article looks at the genetic reasons driving some people to have chronic sinus infections.
Fructose intolerance can be due to a rare mutation in the ALDOB gene or it can be due to reduced intestinal absorption.
While many people carry the HSV virus, only about 30% will get cold sores. Genetics is one reason.
MTHFR variants affect the conversion of folate into the active form. Learn how this can affect you if you are trying to get pregnant.
This is an annotated list of current research studies on the SARS-CoV2 virus, with the relationships to different genetic variants explained.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Round-Up. A recent study showed that people with CYP1A1 genetic variants are more likely to have problems with acetylcholinesterase inhibition from glyphosate.
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor in the production of neurotransmitters and nitric oxide. Genetic variants impact BH4 levels which can affect heart disease, cognitive function, and immune response.
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.
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.
Genetic mutations that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Pernicious anemia is a B-12 deficiency anemia caused by an autoimmune attack on the cells that produce intrinsic factor. Learn how genes impact susceptibility to pernicious anemia.
The CCR5 gene is an important player in the immune response. A mutation in the CCR5 gene, called the Delta32 mutation, significantly reduces the chance of an HIV infection.
Genetic variants that increase inflammation also increase the risk of pancreatitis. Learn about causes and natural solutions for pancreas problems.
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.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are used for weight loss by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reducing hunger. However, genetic variants can alter the response in some people.
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.
Learn how your gut microbiome influences the expression of your core circadian rhythm genes.
