Oxalates: What Your Genes and Diet Say About Oxalate Health Issues
Green smoothies have been a health fad for quite a while now, but these health drinks can be a double-edged sword for some people due to their high oxalate content. Find out if you are genetically prone to kidney stones and what to do about it.
Vitamin B6: Genetics, Absorption, and Deficiency
Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in hundreds of different enzymatic reactions. Low levels of B6 are linked to an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. B6 is also essential for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
Homocysteine: Genetics, High Homocysteine Levels, and Solutions
High homocysteine levels are strongly linked to an increased relative risk of cardiovascular diseases. Find out how your genes impact homocysteine levels.
Taurine: Healthspan, Mitochondrial Function, and Heart Health
Taking a deep dive into the science behind taurine – from antiaging supplement to heart and digestive health. Genetics plays a role in who may benefit most from supplemental taurine.
Pancreatitis: Genetics, Causes, and Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Genetic variants that increase inflammation also increase the risk of pancreatitis. Learn about causes and natural solutions for pancreas problems.
Estrogen, Histamine, and Mast Cell Connections
Mast cells can be more easily triggered in the presence of high estrogen or estrogen-mimicking compounds. Histamine can also trigger mast cell degranulation. Together, this can cause a lot of symptoms related to mast cell activation.
Small Fiber Neuropathy: Genetics, Causes, and Possible Solutions
Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) results in burning pain, numbness, odd sensations, or autonomic nervous system issues. Learn more about the possible causes and potential solutions to this debilitating disorder.
HMGB1 gene: inflammatory response protein important in sepsis and COVID-19
The HMGB1 protein has a unique role in activating the inflammatory response pathways. Increased HMGB1 levels will call up the troops for a big response to an infection. Discover how genetic variants of this protein vary the risk of cancer, inflammation, and sepsis to name a few.
High Blood Pressure due to AGTR1 Gene Variants
There are several causes of high blood pressure. Genetic variants in the AGTR1 gene are strongly linked with blood pressure and there are specific lifestyle changes that should work to change your blood pressure if you carry the variants.
PMS, PMDD, Genetics, and Solutions
Studies estimate that PMS is up to 95% heritable – which means that it has a significant genetic component.
