Genetic and Environmental facts for male pattern baldness and hair loss

Will you go bald? Genetics and hair loss

What causes male pattern baldness? A combination of genetics, nutrition, and environmental toxins come together to form the risk factors for baldness. But genetics really seems to rule the roost here.

Blood pressure, MTHFR, and riboflavin

The common MTHFR C677T variant increases the relative risk of high blood pressure. Learn how to add more Riboflavin (B2) into your diet to reduce risk.

NQO1 Gene, Air pollution detoxification, phase 2 detoxification gene

NQO1 Gene: Metabolism of Quinones, Benzene, and More

The NQO1 gene codes for an important enzyme in phase II detoxification. This enzyme is responsible for metabolizing the cancer-causing benzene (e.g. from air pollution) and cigarette toxins. Learn more and check your genes. (Member’s article)

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine, MAOA, FMO3, and CYP2D6 enzymes, foods high in tyramine

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine

Tyramine intolerance happens when you can’t break it down. Too much tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis. Learn more and check your genetic raw data for results.

Short-chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency

If you have tried fasting or perhaps a ketogenic diet and felt horrible, there could be a genetic reason. You might carry a genetic mutation that causes SCADD (short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency).
