Brain Fog: Causes, genetics, and individualized solutions

Explore brain fog in detail, looking at the physiological causes, genetic susceptibility, and personalized solutions.

conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine or serotonin

Tryptophan Pathways: Kynurenine, Serotonin, and Melatonin

Tryptophan is an amino acid that the body uses to make serotonin and melatonin. Genetic variants can impact the amount of tryptophan that is used for serotonin. This can influence mood, sleep, neurotransmitters, and immune response.

Gargling: Clinical trials on reducing respiratory infections

Does gargling really work for reducing upper respiratory infections? Learn more with a look at the research behind this easy preventive measure and decide whether you should give it a shot.

Quercetin: Scientific studies + genetic connections

Quercetin is a natural flavonoid acting as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. This article focuses on the results of clinical trials involving quercetin and links to specific genetic topics. Using your genetic data, you can make a more informed decision on whether quercetin is worth trying.

Genetic Variant Linked to Side Effects from mRNA vaccines

Will you get side effects from mRNA vaccines? A genetic variant in the HLA-A gene might cause an increase in your response to the vaccine.

TLR7: Susceptibility to COVID-19

In recent research, mutations in TLR7 (a sensor in our innate immune system) might cause severe Covid-19 in a small minority of healthy people.

Research roundup: Preventing and mitigating COVID-19

An introduction to a series of articles on the research into things that may help to mitigate some of your risk in SARS-Cov-2 infections.

Research Studies on Plant Compounds for SARS-CoV-2

This article explains the current research (August 2021) on natural compounds that may help to combat SARS-CoV-2. Included are clinical trial results on nigella sativa, curcumin, and quercetin.

Is POTS genetic? Research on genetic variants and POTS

How Your Genes Increase Susceptibility to POTS

Do you feel lightheaded when you stand? Does your heart suddenly race? POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) is a problem with the way that your autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate.
There are multiple triggers or root causes of this syndrome, and genetic variants can increase your risk for POTS.

Research studies on melatonin and SARS-CoV-2

The research on melatonin shows that it plays an important role in our body’s inflammatory response to pathogens. Learn more about the current research on melatonin for COVID-19 and the science behind how it impacts immune response.

This article dives into the research on Guillain-Barré syndrome, explaining the course of the disease, and covering the genetic variants that increase the relative risk of this serious autoimmune disease. (Member’s article)

NLRP3 Inflammasome, Genetics, and Chronic Inflammation

What makes people more susceptible to chronic inflammatory diseases? The root of the over-activation of inflammation for some people could be the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Histamine Intolerance and Your Genes

Genetics plays a big role in how well your body breaks down histamine. You can use your genetic data to figure out if your genes are part of the reason why you have histamine intolerance. Knowing which genetic variants you carry leads to targeted solutions that are more likely to work for you.

COVID-19 & Genetics: Who gets sick and why?

Not everyone gets sick when exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While there are many factors that come into play here, research points to genetics as playing a role. Several good genetic studies have recently been released showing which genes are important in COVID-19 susceptibility. Learn more and check your genes.
