A flavonoid found in parsley, chamomile, and celery, apigenin supports brain health, hormone balance, and cancer defense — and its effects may vary by genotype. Highlights Function Impact on You Key Insight Neuroprotection Enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), reduces inflammation May protect against neurodegeneration and anxiety. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7243840/ Hormone modulation Binds to estrogen receptors and regulates CYP enzymes May support

Vitamin D isn't just a vitamin — it's a hormone-like signal that activates over 2,000 genes. And your genetic variants may decide how much you need. Highlights Function Impact on You Key Insight Hormonal signaling Binds to receptors that activate hundreds of genes Affects ~10% of your genome [ 1 ] Immune regulation Boosts innate immunity and reduces autoimmunity Low levels linked to infections and ]inflammatory disorders [ 2 ] Bone & muscle health Increases calcium absorption

Omega-3s are critical for brain, heart, and immune health — but genetic differences in absorption and conversion mean some people need much more than others. Highlights Function Impact on You Key Insight Brain structure & function DHA is a key component of neuronal membranes Low levels linked to cognitive decline and depression Inflammation control Omega-3s reduce inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α Especially effective in high-inflammation genotypes Heart health EPA a

Magnesium powers over 300 enzymatic reactions in your body — and your genes may determine how much you need. Highlights Function Impact on You Key Insight Enzyme cofactor Supports energy production, DNA repair, and neurotransmission Required by over 300 enzymes across multiple body systems Stress modulation Lowers cortisol and calms the nervous system Linked to better resilience and parasympathetic tone Sleep quality Improves deep sleep and reduces nighttime awakenings Works

A daily walking habit can slash mortality, sharpen memory, and dial down stress—especially when you tune it to your DNA. High‑intensity workouts grab headlines, yet the humble walk remains the most accessible, low‑risk, and gene‑responsive  health tool we have. Modern studies reveal that steady, daily walking triggers cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and anti‑inflammatory cascades—many of which are amplified or muted by common genetic variants. Below, you’ll learn how

If there’s one molecule often hailed as the "Miracle-Gro" for your brain, it’s BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) [ 1 ]. This powerful protein plays a key role in supporting neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt, grow, and form new neural connections. Low BDNF levels have been linked to depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Conversely, boosting BDNF may help sharpen memory, elevate mood, and promote overall

This key brain gene regulates your dopamine — and determines how you handle stress, mood swings, and even mental performance under pressure. Highlights Function Effect on You Key Insight Dopamine metabolism COMT breaks down dopamine in your prefrontal cortex Your COMT type affects mood, focus, and emotional reactivity COMT Val/Val (fast) Lower dopamine tone → cool under pressure, but risk of low motivation Great in crises, but may need stimulation to feel “on” COMT Met/Met (s
