Is intermittent fasting right for you?
Intermittent fasting and ketosis have a lot of benefits, but they may not be right for you. Your genes play a role in how you feel when fasting.
Weight Loss
Wondering what your genetic data shows about your weight? Genetics research shows that weight is highly heritable.
We don’t all have the same genetic variants that cause weight gain… and the diet-guru advice won’t work the same for everyone.
Take an in-depth look at genetics and weight so that you can understand the ‘why’ and come up with a solution perfect for you.
Member’s: Check out the Weight Loss Topic Summary Report for a quick overview of all your genetic variants related to weight loss.
Circadian Rhythm: Weight Loss and Meal Timing
It isn’t just what you eat, it is WHEN you eat. Learn how meal timing impact weight – and how your genes are important here.
Hacking BDNF for weight loss
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a fascinating growth hormone that performs many functions in our brain. Its involvement helps to support neurons and neuronal growth. In addition, it plays a role in long-term memory — and it also is important in obesity.
Weight Loss: Optimizing your diet based on your genes
Does the perfect diet exist? Most people want to lose weight to ‘get healthy’. Perhaps we are all looking at weight loss backward. Instead of losing weight to get healthy, we should get healthy and then naturally lose weight. Learn how to focus on finding your own genetically correct diet while optimizing your lifestyle to get healthy first.
Color TV has made us fat: melatonin, genetics, and light at night
Melatonin is vital to good health — impacting weight, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and more. Learn how your genes interact with melatonin.
UCP2 Gene: Weight Loss Lifehacks
UCP2 gene plays a role in energy production, metabolism, and inflammation. Understanding your UCP2 variants can give you a head start in understanding your weight loss and what might actually work best for you.
Adiponectin levels, food choices, and genetics
Although production occurs in adipose tissue, those with more fat tissue usually have lower adiponectin levels. Lower adiponectin levels (and thus high inflammation) have links to chronic issues associated with obesity.
DHEA and Your Weight
DHEA is a hormone that does a lot in the body – including influencing muscle mass and weight. This quick article examines just one aspect of DHEA: how it affects our weight. But the genetic variants included here also impact other impacts of DHEA in the body.
Weight Loss Genetics – MC4R Revisited
A revisit into the MC4R gene and its variants based on research. How does it affect circadian rhythm and time-restricted feeding?
Obesity risk – GNB3 C825T
There are lots of different genetic variants that add a little bit to your risk of being overweight. Learn more about the GNB3 variants and obesity risk.
