Inflammation and breakdown of cartilage are at the root of osteoarthritis. Learn how your genes impact the pathways involved in arthritis.
Nrf2 Pathway: Increasing the Body’s Ability to Get Rid of Toxins
The Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor) signaling pathway regulates the expression of antioxidants and phase II detoxification enzymes. It is a fundamental pathway important in how well your body functions. Your genetic variants in the NFE2L2 gene impact this NRF2 pathway.
CYP2C9: Genetic Variants and Drug Metabolism
Have you ever wondered why certain medications don’t work well for you? Genetic variants can change how fast or how slow the medication is broken down in your body. Learn how the CYP2C9 variants impact quite a few prescription medications.
CYP2D6: Medication Interactions, Natural Inhibitors, and Anxiety Traits
The CYP2D6 enzyme is responsible for metabolizing about 25% of commonly used medications. There are several fairly common genetic variants in CYP2D6 that affect how quickly you will break down a drug.
CYP3A4 Gene: Impacting Prescription Drugs
The CYP3A family of genes is involved in metabolizing about half of the drugs on the market today. Check your genes to see if you carry variants that impact the speed at which you metabolize medications.

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.
