The APOE Gene and DHA Requirements
Do you take fish oil? Did you know that your APOE genotype may determine the response to DHA supplementation? Dr. Rhonda Patrick published a study with a hypothesis on why APOE-e4 carriers respond well to the DHA present in fish and fish roe but do not respond as well...
Does Saturated Fat Cause You to Gain Weight Due to the APOA2 Gene?
The APOA2 Gene, Saturated Fat and Weight Gain The APOA2 gene contains instructions for making a protein called apolipoprotein A-II, which is found in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol particles. The role of apolipoprotein A-II in the body's response to...
How Does Dairy Affect Each APOE Genotype?
Multiple genes determine whether certain types of dairy are beneficial or detrimental. These genes typically relate to lactose intolerance or saturated fat intake. We know that APOE-e4 is a hyper-responder to higher saturated fat intake, leading to increased...
How Much of Longevity is Genetic?
How much of longevity is genetic? Previous estimates suggested that 20-25% of lifespan is explained by genetics, but were flawed by not distinguishing between deaths driven by cellular health and deaths compared to deaths by accidents or infections. The latest...
How Genetics Affect Your Ability to Protect Against Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are toxins produced by fungi belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium. The most common mycotoxins that present a concern to human health and livestock include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, patulin, fumonisins, zearalenone, and...
Can Nutrigenomic Testing Help Anxiety and Depression?
Depression and anxiety have numerous genetic pathways and epigenetic influences that may be the root cause. This unknown can make it challenging to narrow down the best protocol for each individual. With the Nutrition Genome Report, we have a comprehensive Mental...
The MTNR1B Gene and Melatonin
In the Nutrition Genome Report, a new gene was added in November 2021 called MTNR1B. This gene encodes for the melatonin receptor 1B. In humans, melatonin release starts soon after sundown, peaks between 2 am and 4 am, and decreases gradually. However, in...
What is the Best Diet for APOE-e4?
Mental Health Awareness Month is observed in May to increase the awareness of those struggling with mental health. Each week this month, we will be exploring how to use the Nutrition Genome Report for mental health. APOE is one of the most compelling genes due to...
