Long Spike

Discover the research and genetic links to why you may be more susceptible to certain outcomes with long spike.

IL-13 Asthma risk, natural inhibitors of IL-13, IL-13 genetic variants

IL-13: Elevating Th2 Immune Response and Asthma risk

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a signaling molecule important in the immune response. Excessive IL-13 can tip you toward a Th2-dominant immune response, and variants increase the risk of allergies and asthma.

Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis hATTR

TTR gene: Amyloidosis, Cardiomyopathy, hATTR CM

New research shows that hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) may be more common, especially in people of African ancestry. Understand your genetic risk before irreversible damage.

 Genetic Variants That IncreaseRisk of Blood Clots, F2 Gene, Factor V, ITGB3 Gene: PIA1/A2 Mutation, VWF Gene, GP6 Gene, F11 Gene

7 Genetic Variants that Increase your Risk of Blood Clots

Some people are unique in their ability to form clots more easily. This article covers six different genes and the seven genetic variants that increase the risk of blood clots. It is a timely topic because blood clots seem to be a severe complication for people with COVID-19.

Spike-Protein-Mast-Cells-Histamine-and-Heart Rhythms

Spike Protein, Mast Cells, Histamine, and Heart Rhythms

Do you know of someone with unexplained heart palpitations, spiking blood pressure, dizziness, and tinnitus? Discover how research is linking these symptoms to histamine, mast cells, and the spike protein.

LDL cholesterol genes, natural supplements to lower cholesterol

LDL Cholesterol: Genetics, Personalized Solutions

Your genes combine with your diet to influence your LDL cholesterol level. Learn more about why LDL cholesterol levels may matter in heart disease and find out how your genes are important here.

Rapamycin, mTOR, and Your Genes

Rapamycin is an antibiotic used as an immunosuppressant, an anti-cancer agent, and to prevent blocked arteries. Rapamycin is now the focus of longevity and healthspan-extending research by inhibiting mTOR.

Mast cell activation syndrome genetics and solutions

Mast Cells: MCAS, Genetics, and Solutions

Mast cells are essential to your innate immune system, defending against pathogens and allergens. For some people, mast cells can be triggered too easily, giving allergy-like responses to lots of different substances.

Asprin, Heart Disease Prevention, and Genetics

Asprin, Heart Disease Prevention, and Genetics

While large population studies show the benefits of aspirin, research shows that these heart-health benefits are dependent on your genes. Find out more and check your genetic raw data.

Hypertension Risk Factor: CYP11B2 Variant

Hypertension Risk Factor: CYP11B2 Variant

Hypertension risk can be modifiable in terms of diet and exercise however genetics can play a part in risk. Learn more about how the CYP11B2 variant can increase the risk of hypertension.

Genes That Cause High Triglyceride Levels

Triglycerides: Genes that cause high triglyceride levels

High triglycerides are linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Both genetics and diet combine to elevate triglyceride levels. Learn how your genes interact with what you eat to lower your triglycerides.

Saturated Fats, ACE Gene, APOE gene and saturated fats

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.

ITGB3: the PlA1/A2 variant and clotting

The PIA2 variant of the ITGB3 gene is linked to an increased risk of blood clots including stroke, heart attack, and DVT. But this variant also comes with a positive trade-off. Learn more with your genetic raw data.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Marker of Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is the driver of many common diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune diseases. C-Reactive Protein is a marker of inflammation. Genetic variants can increase or decrease CRP levels.
