Saturated Fat and Your Genes (ACE gene)

There has been a decades-long debate about which type of fat is best: saturated fat vs polyunsaturated fat. It may depend on your genes as to which answer is right for you. Learn more about this debate and find out how your genes play a part.

Salt Sensitivity and High Blood Pressure

Genetic variants significantly influence individual salt sensitivity, with certain genotypes making people more prone to high blood pressure in response to high salt intake

Saffron Extract: What does the research show?

Recent clinical trials show that saffron extract is as effective as standard medications in some people for ADHD, Alzheimer’s, major depressive disorder, and high cholesterol.

GLP-1 Genetics: How Genes Affect Appetite, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide Response

Genes affect how well semaglutide (Ozympic) and tirzepatide work. Check your GLP-1 receptor gene variants linked to weight loss response. Genotype report included.

SOD1 Gene: Your Antioxidant Defense System

Our body has built-in antioxidants that fight against cellular stress. The superoxide dismutase enzyme fights against oxidative stress in your cells. 

MAO-A & MAO-B: Monoamine Oxidase, Warrior Gene, and Mood

The MAOA and MAOB genes encode enzymes that break down certain neurotransmitters. People with low MAO may be prone to mood issues in certain circumstances.

SIRTfoods diet: Sirtuins and Turning on your Skinny Genes

The SIRTfood diet, made popular by Adele’s recent weight loss, theoretically works by affecting your sirtuin gene expression. Learn about your SIRT genes and your genetic variants.

SCD1: A lynchpin of metabolism

The SCD1 enzyme converts saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fats. Learn how your genes impact this enzyme, and how this relates to weight loss.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): MTHFR and FMO3 SNPs

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is a water-soluble vitamin cofactor for many enzymes in the body. However, several genetic variants can cause an increased need for riboflavin.

My Story…

Hi! I’m Debbie Moon, founder of Genetic Lifehacks.

When I first had my genetic data sequenced, I was both amazed and frustrated:  amazed by all of the genetic research available in academic journals, but frustrated by the disconnected topics and lack of accessibility.

I started Genetic Lifehacks to bridge the gap — to help everyone understand how their genes influence their health, diet, and longevity with practical and useful information based on current research studies.

With my undergraduate degree in engineering as a foundation and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences from Clemson University (2019), I’ve built Genetic Lifehacks into a platform that has helped over 4 million readers and 17,000 members to optimize their health through understanding their genetics.
