Dry Eyes: Using Genomics to Find Solutions
Do you suffer from dry eyes? Learn about current research-backed solutions and the genetics links that could increase your susceptibility.
IBD
Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs): The Resolution of Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is at the root of all diseases. New research discusses how pro-resolving mediators are the key to the resolution of inflammation.
NLRP3: Genetic Variants that Increase Chronic Inflammation
Explore NLRP3 inflammasome genetics: How variants drive chronic inflammation in Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Discover triggers, health risks, and lifehacks like zinc & vitamin D to modulate it.
HLA-B27: Genetic Variant That Increases Susceptibility to Autoimmune Diseases
The HLA-B27 serotype is linked to an increased risk of several autoimmune diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and IBD.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), MTHFR, and Deficiency Symptoms
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is an essential cofactor for many biological pathways. Learn how to check your genetic raw data to see if you may need more riboflavin.
Fatigue: Root Causes, Genetics, Personalized Solutions
Are you always tired even when you know you slept well? Discover more about the newest research on fatigue and how genetic susceptibility plays a part for some people.
TNF-alpha: Inflammation, Chronic Diseases, and Genetic Susceptibility
Discover the role of TNF-alpha in inflammation and its link to chronic diseases. Learn how genetic variants affect TNF-alpha levels and explore natural solutions for chronic inflammation.
IL-17: Chronic Inflammation & Autoimmune Risk with IL17A, IL17F
The IL17 gene codes for an important part of the immune system. When it is overactive, IL-17 can contribute to the risk of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
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.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Genes, and Gut Microbes
All of the general advice, fix your gut, eat more fiber, eat fermented foods, avoid sugar, grains, dairy, etc., may work for some but not for everyone. Take a good look at some of the genes that affect our microbiome.
