Learn. Experiment. Optimize.

You’ve been guessing. Your DNA has actual answers.

Connect to your raw data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, Sequencing.com, TellMeGen, or any other DNA test, and see what your own genes say about the food, supplements, medications, and lifestyle changes that fit you.

While your genes don’t change, the research on genetics is constantly expanding. We read it every week so you don’t have to.

Your DNA file never leaves your device. We don’t store it, we don’t track you, and we have no supplements to sell you. Not sure your file will work? Check compatibility before you join.

TRPV1 Gene: Receptor for Spicy Foods, Sensing Cold, and CBD Oil

Learn how the TRPV1 gene shapes your reaction to spicy foods, pain, temperature, neuroinflammation and CBD oil, plus see how your genetic variants may affect tolerance and health.

Taste Receptors: Bitter, Sweet, and Much More

Ever wonder why some people don’t like Brussel sprouts or strong, dark coffee? Some people love a good, dark roast, cup of coffee – and Brussel sprouts and cabbage taste just great. Genetic variants in the taste receptor genes mean that we taste things differently.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) and the ALPL Gene

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a genetic disorder caused by ALPL mutations that lower alkaline phosphatase (ALP), leading to bone, dental, and vitamin B6-related issues. Learn how low ALP is diagnosed and supported in adults.

Genetic Differences in How we Smell Things

Take a look into the genetic variants in the odor receptor genes and how they influence one’s response to their environment. (Member’s article)

Genetic Superpowers Report

This Genetic Superpowers Report looks at the positive side of genetic variants. Everyone has some kind of genetic superpower, and hopefully, this report will highlight yours!

Genetics of Double Eyelashes

Elizabeth Taylor stood out in many ways – in part because of her thick lashes. Turns out a genetic variant is the likely source of her double row of lashes. Learn more about this variant and its other associated risks.

Red Hair and the MC1R Gene

To have red hair, you need to carry two variants in the MC1R gene. We all know our hair color, but it turns out that if you carry one MC1R genetic variant (and don’t have red hair) you are still at an increased risk for skin cancer.

Lactose Intolerance: How to Check Your Genetic Data

Your genes control whether you are likely to produce lactase as an adult. Check your 23andMe or other genetic data to see if you are likely to enjoy a big glass of milk.


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.
