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 5 million readers and 19,000+ members to optimize their health through understanding their genetics.
