Are the HLA Genes Related to Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity?
In November 2021, we added HLA2.5 and HLA-DQ8 to the Nutrition Genome Report. Published research shows that approximately 30-40 percent of the general population have variants in the celiac disease risk HLA genes, yet only 3% of these individuals develop celiac...
How Your COMT Genotype Affects Polyphenol Intake
COMT V158M is most known for understanding the variation of dopamine's baseline level and metabolic breakdown. Heterozygous or homozygous variants for the COMT V158M gene slow down the COMT enzyme, affecting estrogen metabolism and the breakdown of dopamine and stress...
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...
The LZTFL1 gene and COVID-19
U.S. health experts are warning a highly contagious Covid omicron variant, called BA.2, could soon lead to another uptick in domestic coronavirus cases. BA.2 is considered to be about 50% to 60% more transmissible than omicron, but it does not appear to be more...
How to Use Adaptogens to Enhance Your Genetics
Evidence of human adaptation can be found up and down the genome; a unique tapestry of collected stories and struggles of your ancestors over thousands of years. Whether your ancestors adapted to dairy consumption 4,000 years ago, a higher carbohydrate intake from...

The Epigenetic Diet that Reduces Aging
A study published in April of 2021 set out to prove that epigenetic interventions - including diet, sleep, exercise, and breathing exercises - could reduce the DNA methylation clock (DNAmAge) that has been found to predict all-cause mortality and multiple morbidities...
The Symptoms and Solutions to Low and High Estrogen
Estrogen and progesterone have tremendous influence over numerous physiological actions. One of the most common associations with imbalanced hormones is the effect on mood. This can be debilitating for some women when their hormones are bouncing between extremes. You...
