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.
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 Inflammasome, Genetics, and Chronic Inflammation
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.
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, 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.
