What is Genetic Lifehacks all about?
Genetic Lifehacks explains how your genes interact with your diet and lifestyle so that you can make decisions on what to eat, which supplements to take, and what is important for YOU.
There are 400+ articles on health topics that break down the science, show you your genes, and then explain the solutions.
1) Explaining the science:
Your genes make up the blueprint of who you are, and you can use your genetic data to find health solutions that are personalized for you. Genetic Lifehacks pulls together the research studies that explain health and wellness at an in-depth and personal level.
Your genes:
- influence your needs for specific vitamins and minerals
- change the way you react to environmental toxins
- increase your susceptibility to chronic diseases in specific ways
Each article starts off by explaining the up-to-date research on the topic. By going a little bit more in-depth on what goes on at the cellular level, you can gain a better understanding of how your body works and how your specific genetic variants make you unique.
All of the articles here are fully referenced, with links in the paragraph that take you right to the peer-reviewed studies. You are encouraged to read through the research for yourself! It is essential to know where science-based information comes from.
2) Making it easy to see your genes:
Genetic Lifehacks does not offer testing. Instead, you can bring your genetic raw data from many different testing providers. Members connect to their genetic raw data file and see their genotype in each article and in summary reports. You can use your data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, SelfDecode, and more. Find out about different testing options here.
Privacy is the first priority: The genetic data connection is local to your data file on your hard drive. This means that members see their genetic data without it being stored on the Genetic Lifehacks server. You are in control of your data, and no one else can see it.
In addition, there are no ads and no trackers on Genetic Lifehacks. You should be able to look at health information without the big tech giants tracking your every move. Genetic Lifehacks prioritizes user privacy over everything else.
3) Lifehacks for application:
None of this great scientific information will do you any good, though, without solutions. Each article contains a ‘Lifehacks’ section with research-based solutions, along with information on how genetic variants impact the solutions.
The Lifehacks cover dietary changes, supplement options, and lifestyle interactions. You can read through all of the different solutions and figure out what works best for you. This isn’t a protocol or prescription, but a way of understanding the different options and deciding what to try. Then talk with your doctor if you have medical questions.
4) Summary reports: Sorting out where to start
Membership includes access to Summary Reports for each category of articles. This lets you easily see which articles apply to your genes, cutting down the time it takes to figure out the root cause of a health issue or pointing you to something you had never considered.
