Ever wonder why some people are more prone to high blood pressure? One clue lies in their genes—specifically the ACE gene, and a tiny variation called rs4343.

If you carry a certain version of this gene (called the G/G genotype), your body may produce more ACE enzyme, which can lead to narrower blood vessels and higher blood pressure. Over time, this can increase your risk of hypertension and even heart issues.

But lifestyle changes like a low-sodium diet, stress management, and regular exercise can help balance things out—especially if you know your genetic risk.

Curious about your ACE type? The DNA 360 Functional Genomics Test and Report can give you answers—and help you take control of your heart health.

Your body’s ability to use B vitamins—especially folate (B9) and B12—can depend on your genes. One key gene is SHMT1, and a functionally influential single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of it, known as rs1979277, can influence how efficiently your body processes folate.

SHMT1 plays a big role in the folate cycle, which helps turn nutrients into energy, supports DNA repair, and keeps your brain healthy. If you carry the T variant of rs1979277, your body may be less effective at converting folate into its active form. This can mean higher needs for B vitamins—especially methylated forms (like methylfolate and methylcobalamin)—to keep everything running smoothly.

Symptoms of low B vitamins can include fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and even poor detox. If you have this gene variant, eating more leafy greens and possibly supplementing with active B vitamins might be a smart move.

Consider getting tested. The DNA 360 Functional Genomics Test and Report will give you your genetic blueprint and help you personalize your nutrition for better energy, brain function, and overall health!

One key player is the UGT2B17 gene, which has a role in breaking down and eliminating hormones like testosterone from your body. But here's the twist — some people have Copy Number Variations (CNVs) in this gene, meaning they might have zero, one, or two copies of it!

Why does that matter for bone health? Because testosterone is closely tied to bone density. If you have no copies of UGT2B17, your body may retain more testosterone — which can support better bone mineralization. On the flip side, having multiple copies might increase the breakdown of testosterone, potentially lowering bone density over time.

So, if you're struggling with bone health issues or have a family history of osteoporosis, your UGT2B17 status could be a big piece of that puzzle. Personalized DNA testing can uncover this, guiding tailored nutrition, lifestyle, or hormone-support strategies to protect your bones for life.

The DNA 36 Functional Genomics Test and report will provide your entire genetic blueprint, including which CNV of UGT2B17 you have. You and your healthcare provider can build a personalized health plan just for you!

Research into nutritional epigenetics shows that the food you eat doesn’t just fuel your body—it actually communicates with your DNA!

That’s right—while your genes provide the blueprint for your body, they’re not set in stone. Through epigenetics, lifestyle choices—especially nutrition—can turn certain genes “on” or “off.” This means what you eat can influence how your body fights inflammation, handles stress, processes toxins, and even how you age.

For example, compounds in foods like broccoli, turmeric, and blueberries can promote the expression of protective genes. On the flip side, ultra-processed foods and high-sugar diets may activate genes linked to chronic illness.

💡 Imagine harnessing this power daily: eating not just for calories, but for cellular instructions. It’s like giving your body wellness instructions it can follow.

As research grows, personalized nutrition based on your unique genetic and epigenetic profile could revolutionize how we prevent disease and thrive. If you want to know what your genetic blueprint says about what foods are best for you, you might want to use the DNA 360 Functional Genomics Report and Testing, which gives you a comprehensive report that you can share with your health care provider.
