Familial Mediterranean Fever: Mimics fibromyalgia, arthritis, inflammation
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.

Building Up Iron: Hemochromatosis mutations
A couple of common mutations can cause you to build up iron, leading to iron overload or hemochromatosis. It is one genetic disease where knowledge is really powerful – you can completely prevent hemochromatosis through blood donations.
Fisetin: Antioxidant and Senolytic
Fisetin is a natural flavonol found in several types of fruits and vegetables and may prove to be a critical anti-aging component. In several recent studies, fisetin clears out senescent cells holding a lot of promise for healthy aging. Learn more about the newest research into this possible longevity compound.
