Module 1

Welcome Page

Welcome to your Genomic Report!

Apeiron Certified Coaches use a complex systems approach to optimizeperformance.  It is important to understand that the human system is acomplex system, rather than a complicated system. In a complicatedsystem there are many independent pieces that can be modified withoutaffecting the other pieces; whereas, in a complex system, each piece isdependent on its relationship with the other pieces.

Let’s take flight as an example; A computer can explain and model anairplane because it is a complicated system. It cannot adequately modeland explain a bird, a complex system.

Your genetic blueprint is one of the many pieces of the complex humansystem.  The genetic blueprint is made up of a combination of DNAmarkers (C, T, A, G)  known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, orSNPs. While studies demonstrate the SNPs in this report are impactfulon different lifestyle aspects, they are one part of the system. DNA is notdeterministic; one SNP does not correspond to one outcome.  Otheraspects of the complex system affect the expressions of your geneticblueprint such as environment, mindset, and exercise.  

Complex systems require complex thinking which is where an EpigeneticCertified Coach comes into the picture; a coach is capable of complexthinking. Yet coaches currently need complicated systems (computers and algorithms) to assist in bringing biometric data together. Coaches thenapply the complicated data to complex thinking; this process is “augmented” intelligence. Therefore, genetic reports are better understood with anEpigenetic Certified Coach; they can assist you to interpret your complicated data to create optimal outcomes.

About Nutrition

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

Decreased dopamine production and breakdown; possible decreased receptors Moderate insulin resistance risk. Consider lab testing Likely Lactosesensitivity Slightly above average gluten allergy risk Increased propensity towards grain sensitivity Bitter-testing gene Great benefit from fiber andcomplex carbs Strong need for Omega-3 support Possible Plant sterol buildup; consider lab testing Despite slightly above average metabolism;strong benefit from mitochondrial boosters due to PPARGC1A CT Macronutrient breakdown Complex carbs: 45% Protein: 25% based on likely goalsSaturated Fat: <10% Polyunsaturated fat: <6% Monounsaturated fat: 20-25% Consider eating more fish and supplementing with omega-3 Use Extravirgin olive oil or avocado oil for cooking Mitochondrial boosters: High Quality Sleep, exercise, intermittent fasting, cold thermogenesis, MitoQ,berberine, D-ribose Holy Basil and Bacopa Monnieri to support BDNF Check blood sugar labs; hA1c, glucose, insulin; and consider berberine forsupport Check omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, aim for 2:1 or 1:1 ratio due to BDNF and TNF 1800-2100 daily calories (or more if exercising regularly andaiming to gain weight)

ABOUT NUTRITION

Genetics are responsible for determining physical traits such as hair andeye color, however, genetics are probability/propensity, not guaranteed.For instance, genetics may program for brown hair, yet hair color typicallychanges as an individual ages. This process is an example ofepigenetics; how the environment affects genetics.  In this example, thehair color (brown or grey) is referred to as the ‘expression’.  One of themost impactful ways to affect epigenetic expression is through nutrition.This report covers three areas that have a strong impact on epigeneticexpression; food sensitivities, eating behaviors, and macronutrients. 

The food sensitivity genetics relate to the body's response to food suchas dairy or gluten. Eating behavior genetics consider propensity towardssnacking habits and sweet consumption. Understanding macronutrientratios (protein, carbohydrate, and fat) is the foundation for developingnutrition plans. Understanding genetic blueprint is pivotal to optimizeexpression. 

Nutrition is one of the most impactful ways to affect epigenetic expression. There are two genetics-informed strategies to approach nutrition;nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics.  Nutrigenetics is eating solely based on genetics; following genetic propensity regardless of goals or lifestyle.Nutrigenomics is eating and supplementing to optimize epigenetic expression; strategically consuming nutrients based on the combination ofgenetics, goals, and lifestyle. While going through this report, an epigenetic coach can assist in creating an individualized strategic nutrition plan basedon nutrigenomics.

Hunger & Satiety

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Appetite is a combination of hunger response and satiety. Many studieshave identified DNA variations that contribute to hunger and satietysignaling. Science reveals this is a complex interaction between manysystems, including: brain neurotransmitters (responsible for carryingchemical messages to and from the brain), messages between cells, andappetite hormones.

Hunger Propensity: Hunger is the sensation to eat.

Satiety: Satiety is the sensation of fullness.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

All of these systems require coordination in the central sensingmechanism of our brains to create a response. Identifying thesecomponents can provide the guidance we need to create an optimaloutcome. When signals are not expressing in an optimal manner, we caninstitute strategies to improve signaling and create a more favorableresponse. 

Hunger Propensity: Sometimes individuals experience a desire for food that is not actual hunger.  It could be due to sleepiness, boredom, habits etc.While hunger is affected by environmental factors, understanding genetic propensities can provide insight towards optimal strategies.  

Satiety: Individuals with low sensation of satiety may not accurately perceive when they reach fullness.  As a result, they may consume more food thanintended, and subsequently gain weight.

Insulin Resistance

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in theblood. Insulin resistance means a body requires greater amounts ofinsulin in order to drive down blood sugar levels. It is usually associatedwith diabetes or a pre-diabetic state. Studies demonstrate that someindividuals possess a greater predisposition towards insulin resistance,which can be more probable based on genetic variations. Individuals thatcarry greater propensity tend to have higher fasting blood sugar andinsulin levels.   

WHY THIS MATTERS

Higher fasting blood sugar levels promote accelerated rates of aging andoverall lower levels of health. Individuals with a propensity towardsinsulin resistance often report greater difficulty losing weight than othersthat follow similar diets (despite aggressive adherence to the diet).

Insulin Resistance Propensity

Average Risk

You have an average propensity towards insulin resistance. Thisdoes not mean that you are protected from developing insulinresistance. A healthy diet that keeps simple carbohydrates andsugars low is still advised. Consider working with an epigeneticscoach or physician to measure blood sugar markers such asHbA1c, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin. Consider limitingsugar intake and supplementing with Berberine.

Dairy Digestion

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

This section relates to the processing of sugar and fat in dairy products.

Lactose Sensitivity: Lactose is a sugar found in milk, whereas lactasebreaks down lactose and is essential to digest milk. 

Weight Gain with Dairy Fat: People with certain genetic variants have apropensity towards adverse responses to foods with saturated fat andespecially high dairy fat content.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Lactose Sensitivity: Approximately 65% of the worlds population islactose intolerant; however individuals with European ancestry have apropensity to be lactose tolerant. Consuming lactose with apredisposition towards lactose intolerance can result in gut disruption,sinus inflammation, stuffy nose, and phlegm. 

Weight Gain with Dairy Fat: Certain genotypes express a greaterpropensity toward weight gain and obesity when consuming high fat dairy.  

Foods with high dairy fat: heavy cream, whole milk, cream cheese, butter, and full-fat yogurt.

Gene Marker Your Genotype

APOA2 rs5082 GA

MCM6(1) rs4988235 GG

Lactose Intolerance

Genetic Risk Present

Your genetics correspond with a 2.6x higher potential forsensitivity to the lactose in dairy. This does not guarantee that youwill have lactose intolerance as it is only an increased geneticrisk. Keep in mind this does not assess your response to milkproteins.

12/19/2020 Apeiron

https://apeirongenomics.com/tools/report-print/1117 9/130

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

If not sensing dairy sensitivity you might consider doing a period of 4 to 6 weeks dairy elimination then reintroducing for effect.

Dairy Fat Induced Weight Gain

Low Risk

Some people have a genetic propensity for weight gain with toomuch saturated fat in the diet. Dairy is a significant source ofthis.Your genetics indicate that you are less sensitive to thiseffect.

Module 6

Gluten

RELEVANT SNP'S

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

Consider decreasing and/or minimizing gluten and processed grain intake.

WHAT THIS MEANS

In order to develop a gluten allergy, three criteria must be met: geneticpredisposition, leaky gut syndrome, and exposure to gluten. The geneticsrelated to gluten are based on predisposition and are only suggestive ofsusceptibility to developing reactions to gluten in foods. This is not adiagnostic test.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Gluten can be found in wheat and some related grains as well as in manyfood preparations because it provides elasticity and chewiness to manyprepared and processed foods.   

Foods containing gluten: wheat, barley, rye, triticale, sauces, and oats

Module 7

Grain Sensitivity

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Many people believe they have a gluten sensitivity; however, unless thereis a demonstrated gluten allergy or celiac diagnosis, it is likely a grainsensitivity. Grain sensitivity is often due to excess glutamate and/orinsufficient GABA. Glutamate is involved in virtually every majorexcitatory brain function, and in excess can cause anxiety, agitation, anddifficulty sleeping.  Conversely, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)produces an inhibitory and calming effect which can mitigate feelings ofanxiety, stress, and fear.  Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) isresponsible for the conversion of glutamate into GABA; decreased GADfunction contributes to a grain sensitivity propensity.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Many grains, sauces, and oils are high in glutamate. When thesevariations are significant and the symptoms are expressed, it isimportant to reduce exposure to glutamate.  If this is the case, we wantto ensure healthy B6 levels since it is required for glutamic acid to work optimally.

Sources of high glutamic acid foods include wheat and grains, soy, dairy, seeds, protein powder, and the flavor enhancer MSG (monosodiumglutamate).

Grain Sensitivity

Increased Propensity

You are likely to demonstrate an increased sensitivity to glutamicacid. Limit exposure and find appropriate intake levels of glutamicacid foods. Magnesium and Vitamin B6 may support the system.In strong reactions, consider DHH-B supplementation.

12/19/2020 Apeiron

https://apeirongenomics.com/tools/report-print/1117 12/130

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

GAD sensitivity propensity relates to the conversion of glutamate to gaba in the brain. It can present with ADHD like symptoms, mind racing,difficulties getting restful sleep, increased stress expressions and brain fog following consumption. If noticing any of these consider decreasing oreliminating foods high in glutamic acid. Processed grains and MSG preservatives as well as protein powders with glutamate are the generaloffenders. Supplementing with Magnesium and B12 vitamin is beneficial with this expression.

Module 8

Sweets and Snacking

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Sweet Perception: These genetics look at how intensely we tastesweetness. Genetic variants affects the way our brain responds when wetaste something sweet or sugary.  

Sweet Addiction Propensity: Along the same lines, many perceive theinability to stop eating sweets is based on willpower; however, this isalso coded in DNA.

Snacking Drive: Many people perceive snacking behaviors are based onwillpower. While this may be true in some cases, much of the drivetoward snacking is coded in our DNA.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Sweet Perception: Those with a decreased sensing of sweetness arelikely to consume more sweets, yet, the opposite is not necessarily true -those with an increased sweet perception may not always consume lesssweets.  Other factors contribute to determining overall sweet intake.  

Snacking Drive: Clinical practices have shown there is an extremely high correlation between genetic variations and reported snacking behaviors. 

Sweet Addiction Propensity: Research demonstrates there are genes that code for the brain's response to sweet and sugary foods. In someindividuals, sugar decreases inhibitions and encourages greater consumption regardless of willpower.

Gene Marker Your Genotype

MC4R rs17782313 TT

ANKK1 rs1800497 GG

Sweet Perception

Less Intense Sensing

You’re likely to have decreased sweet perception which maycontribute to increased sweet intake or a lack of desire forsweets. Be aware that your taste receptors are likely wired to beless sensitive than others, which can drive eating more sugar toget the same “reward” that other people can get from less. Try touse this to your advantage and use mindful awareness whileeating sweet foods (eat slowly and consciously enjoy your food).

12/19/2020 Apeiron

https://apeirongenomics.com/tools/report-print/1117 14/130

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

Genetic predisposition to snacking and sweet addiction is low. If experiencing one or both consider that either a habit of snacking has beendeveloped or the slightly reduced dopamine production may be playing a role.

Snacking Drive

Genetically Low

You’re unlikely to have a strong snacking drive; this is subject tochanges in epigenetic expression based on the environment. Forexample, sugar, stress, and neurotransmitter imbalances cancreate an increased desire for snacking despite this geneticpropensity.

Sweet Addiction Propensity

Low Genetic Risk

Researchers have found that people with your genetic profile tendto find certain foods more bitter, such as coffee, brussel sprouts,and grapefruit. This does not mean that you dislike these foodsjust that you tend to use salt or other seasoning to mask thebitter.

Module 9

Carbohydrates

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

There are two different types of carbohydrates: simple and complex.Simple carbohydrates include foods like sugar, pasta, and bread,whereas complex carbohydrates are primarily fibrous foods such asvegetables.  

Carbohydrate Intake: Carbohydrates are a very individualized componentof the diet. Using scientific literature and clinical experience, we are ableto identify the relevant impactful genes for optimal complexcarbohydrate intake.

Fiber Benefit: Research has shown some genetic variants contribute to adesirable response from increased fiber intake. 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Simple carbohydrates should generally be avoided. The optimal amountof complex carbs is variable based on genetic predisposition.  

Carbohydrate Intake: This is especially relevant in relation to ideal body composition as some people do better with a lower carbohydrate intake whileothers tend to burn fat in the flame of a carbohydrate.

Fiber Benefit:  Some individuals show a propensity towards improved weight loss and cholesterol management with higher levels of fiber in theirnutrition plan.

Examples of fibrous complex carbohydrate foods include vegetable such as broccoli, carrots, and leafy greens. Carbohydrates such as sweet potatoand rice also provide benefit however are less impactful to desirable outcomes than fibrous vegetables.

Total Fats

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

There are three primary fats within the human diet; saturated fats (SFA),monounsaturated fats (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fats (PUFA). Thereare several opinions regarding which fats are 'good' and which fats arenot. There are two problems with this; first, fats are a macronutrient thatour bodies require for optimal health. Second, there are significantindividual differences in how each person responds to the different typesof fat.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This section provides guidelines for planning the ideal percentage ofcalories from fat in your daily diet. When using genetic variations toprovide guidance on fat intake, it is important to understand that many ofthe studies used did not differentiate the types of fat.

Saturated Fats

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Saturated Fat Intake: Saturated fats (SFA) represent one of the mostdebated aspects of human nutrition today. Various studies discuss thebenefits and drawbacks of SFA intake. The Atkins and Paleo movementshave brought saturated fat into the forefront of discussions. Ultimately,saturated fats are necessary for healthy human function. Saturated fatmakes up 50% of the membrane fats in every cell of the body and isessential for healthy immune function. The brain is 60% fat and ispredominantly saturated fat and cholesterol. Despite this, high intakeisn't necessarily beneficial.  

APOe Status:  APOe status is a genetic predisposition that is highlyimpactful across many aspects of the human system.    

WHY THIS MATTERS

Saturated Fat Intake: Individuals carry genetic variations that change theresponse to saturated fats from a health and wellness standpoint. Thepropensity identified below is based on leading scientific studies intogenome wide associations as well as from our extensive experience inapplying this in clinical practice. Even with moderate intakerecommendations, it is best for most individuals to keep saturated fat intake to less than 10% of total calories per day.

APOe Status: APOe status can create differences in how individuals respond to saturated fat. In certain variants, saturated fat intake can trigger anincreased propensity towards plaque buildup and cognitive decline over time. Understanding your APOe status can assist you to create bio-specificstrategies for optimal outcomes. 

Sources of saturated fat include coconut oil, butter, ghee, red meat, and dairy products

Some individuals do not carry strong genetic predispositions toadverse responses with saturated fat. This does not mean thatexcess intake cannot be detrimental. Even with this beneficialpropensity, we have found that keeping saturated fat intake toless than 10% of total calories can contribute to healthieroutcomes.

12/19/2020 Apeiron

https://apeirongenomics.com/tools/report-print/1117 20/130

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

You have the ability to eat saturated fat at less than 10% of total calories without significant negative impact. However, if inflammation markers arenoted you will want to keep saturated fat intake to less than 5% of your daily caloric intake.

Polyunsaturated Fats

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have a role in many physiologicalprocesses, including energy production, inflammation modulation, andmaintenance of cell membrane integrity. PUFAs include omega-6 (O6)and omega-3 (O3) and are essential for life; there are health benefits toconsuming both in the appropriate ratios.  

Omega-6 PUFA Intake: O6 contributes to improved immune health andblood clotting and is responsible for providing beneficial inflammation inthe body.

Omega-3 Need: O3 plays an important role in the body; its primaryfunctions include maintaining the immune system, counteractinginflammation, and supporting cognitive function.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Research has focused on omega-6/omega-3 ratios and there is a clear benefit to keeping this ratio at 4:1 or less. While this is the beneficial zone, mostpeople consume these fats in a 10:1 ratio. Many in the industrialized world are reaching levels as high as 25:1

Omega-6 PUFA Intake:  Individuals with certain genotypes show a propensity towards higher inflammation from Omega-6 andtherefore should consume less omega-6 to achieve an optimal ratio. 

Omega-3 Need:  Research demonstrates having optimal levels of fish-based omega-3 contributes to highly beneficial epigenetic changes.   

Beneficial omega-6 sources include nuts and fish, however, other sources such as soybeans, vegetable oils, and sunflower oil should beavoided. Beneficial Omega-3 sources include fatty fish and fish oil.

Protein

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEAN

The human body requires 20 amino acids (body’s building blocks) tocreate many different proteins. Ten of these amino acids are consideredessential, meaning they are not made in the body so must be consumedin the diet. This is a complex network of gene interactions and there areways to epigenetically shift the expressions of these genes to achievedesired outcomes.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Protein is a macronutrient the body needs in relatively large amounts togrow, develop, and function properly. Some people will respond better toa diet with a higher percentage of calories from protein, while others dobetter with lower intake.

ABOUT SUPPLEMENTATION

As covered in the Nutrition section, nutrigenomics is eating andsupplementation to optimize epigenetic expression; strategicallyconsuming nutrients based on the combination of genetics, goals, andlifestyle.  Supplementation, obtaining micronutrients from nonfoodsources, is the second half of nutrigenomics. Many people believemicronutrients should come solely from food, however modern farmingtechniques have impacted the nutrient levels in food.  The nutrients invegetables are much lower now than they were 100 years ago.  

In addition, our ancestors historically lived in the same environments forgenerations and their bodies (genes) adapted accordingly.  Since then,technology has increased the ability to easily travel around the world.Ease of travel has encouraged blending genetic profiles from a widevariety of environments. Today it is almost impossible to find theenvironment our genes are optimized for; instead we usesupplementation to enhance our genetic expression. This is why thegenetic blueprint is so impactful for precise recommendations. 

Through nutrigenomics, strategic supplementation can prevent deficiencies and optimize performance. Several of the nutrients in this report can befound in a high quality multivitamin; such as the Apeiron Multivitamin.  While going through this report, an epigenetic coach can assist in creating anindividualized strategic supplementation plan based on nutrigenomics.

Vitamin B12

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

B12 Need:  Vitamin B12 plays an essential role in the production of redblood cells and DNA, as well as the proper functioning of the nervoussystem. It is absorbed through the stomach lining and is typically foundin animal-based foods.

FUT2 Status: Determines genetic propensity for an individual towardsbeing a secretor or non-secretor.  A secretor is likely to have less B12production in the body and also have a healthy diverse gut bacteria.  Anon-secretor is likely to produce more B12 in the body and have a lessdiverse gut biome. 

WHY THIS MATTERS

B12 Need: It’s estimated that 40% of American’s don’t get enoughvitamin B12, and deficiencies can contribute to fatigue and brain fog.

FUT2 Status: Certain variants of FUT2 show good correlation with bodyB12 levels as well as propensities for certain gut conditions. 

Benefits of Vitamin B12 include: 

Increased energy – B12 converts carbohydrates into glucose, increases overall energy, and reduces fatigue.

Improved brain function – B12 helps make DNA and keep the nervous system healthy. It may reduce depression, lower stress levels, and reduce brainshrinkage.

Healthy digestive system – B12 promotes gut health and may prevent heart disease by curbing cholesterol levels, protecting against stroke and highblood pressure.

Vitamin A

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Vitamin A is naturally present in many foods and has two forms; Beta-carotene and retinoic acid.  Beta-carotene is found in plant based foodwhereas retinoic acid is found in animal based foods. The body alsoconverts beta-carotene into retinoic acid, and genetics can affectconversion rate. Vitamin A supplements can contain beta-carotene,retinoic acid, or a combination of the two. The gene BCMO1 convertsbeta-carotene into retinoic acid.    

WHY THIS MATTERS

The body relies on vitamin A conversion for healthy maintenance of theheart, kidneys, lungs, and eyes.  

Benefits of Vitamin A

Improved immune system – Vitamin A boosts the immune system andassists in fighting infections. It also helps mucus membranes stay moist,which strengthens white blood cell activity.

Healthy skin – With the ability to trap free radicals and toxins, vitamin A keeps skin supple & healthy.  Free radicals are unstable atoms that candamage cells, causing illness and aging.

Increased tooth strength – Vitamin A keeps teeth strong by forming a hard material just beneath the surface of the teeth, called dentin.

Eye health – Vitamin A supports macular health and provides overall protection for the eye.  

Retinoic acid sources of vitamin A include fish liver oil, beef liver, and egg yolk.

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

While choline is not a vitamin or mineral, it is an important ingredient inmany bodily process and plays a major role in metabolism andneurotransmitter health. The body does produce choline, although, itdoesn’t produce sufficient quantities of this essential nutrient tomaintain optimal health.  

WHY THIS MATTERS?

Less than 10 percent of adults get enough choline in their diet. Somerisks of choline deficiency include muscle damage, anxiety, and brainfog. Those at risk for choline deficiency include: pregnant women,choline depleted diets (plant based diets), and people with geneticvariations.  It’s particularly important for fetuses and babies to ensurehealthy brain development.  

Benefits of Choline

Cell structure – The body relies on choline to make the fats that help maintain the structural integrity of all cell membranes.

Cell messaging – Choline assists with the production of compounds that act as cell messengers.

Fat transport and metabolism – Insufficient choline levels can lead to fatty liver.

DNA synthesis – Choline, vitamin B12, and folate are three vital nutrients in DNA synthesis.

Nervous system health – Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, muscle movement, and regulating heartbeat, is derived from choline.  

Choline food sources include beef liver, eggs, chicken breast, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, dark leafy greens, shellfish, asparagus, brussel sprouts,boy chow, and cod.

Vitamin E

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Vitamin E Need:  Vitamin E plays a vital role in many aspects ofhealth. Although there are eight forms of Vitamin E, Alpha-tocopherol isthe only form that is readily absorbed and used by the body. 

Vitamin E Inflammation Propensity: While vitamin E is typically anti-inflammatory, some genotypes are predisposed to inflammation fromhigh dose supplementation.   

WHY THIS MATTERS

Vitamin E Need: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that assists in maintaining optimal levels of selenium, vitamin K, and many other essentialnutrients.

Vitamin E Inflammation Propensity: High dose vitamin E (greater than 400IU) can correspond with high levels of inflammation in individuals withgenetic predisposition.   

Benefits of Vitamin E 

Helps store vitamins A, K, iron, and selenium – Vitamin E helps maintain sufficient levels of many essential nutrients.

Supports the formation of red blood cells – Red blood cells rely on vitamin E to strengthen their interior lining, which is another way it toughens theimmune system.

Keeping skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles healthy – Vitamin E is important for the structural function and maintenance of these muscles.

Prevent eye damage – Studies suggest relatively high vitamin E intake may reduce the occurrence of macular degeneration and cataracts in elderlyindividuals.

Vitamin E food sources include almonds, swiss chard, pine nuts, broccoli, mustard greens, avocado, spinach, turnip greens, kale, plant oils, andhazelnuts.

Vitamin DWHAT THIS MEANS

Vitamin D is not readily found in many foods. An estimated 70 percent ofthe population is thought to be vitamin D deficient. This is concerningbecause it is responsible for regulating over 1000 genes in the humangenome.

Sunlight Response: The skin can convert sunlight into vitamin D.  

Vitamin D Testing:  There is an active and inactive form of vitamin D. The active form is the form that supports the body: however, whentesting vitamin D levels most blood analysis only look at the inactiveform.  The inactive form tends to correlate well with the active form.  Insome rare cases, some individuals genetics correspond with higherlevels of the active form which is not reflected in typical vitamin Dtesting. 

 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Vitamin D Supplementation Need: From a genetic standpoint, peopletend to vary in their ability to process dietary vitamin D. This means that there’s a difference in the baseline amount needed to maintain healthy vitaminD levels from person to person.

Sunlight Response: Certain genotypes demonstrate a decreased ability to convert sunlight into vitamin D. 

Vitamin D Testing: When individuals have the corresponding genetics, analysis of the active form of vitamin D (1,25) in combination with the inactiveform (25-OH) may be beneficial to determining optimal levels. 

Benefits of Vitamin D

Bone health – Vitamin D increases calcium and strengthens bones.

Prevention of diabetes – Vitamin D can decrease the risk of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Heart health – Studies have shown vitamin D deficiency as a risk factor for congestive heart failure and heart attacks.

Mood regulator – Vitamin D is believed to reduce or prevent depression.

Muscle growth – Vitamin D has been shown to aid in muscle growth and retention in both adults and the elderly.

Vitamin K

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Vitamin K has many different forms that contribute to blood clotting,bone metabolism, and regulating blood calcium levels. Themost impactful forms of vitamin K include vitamin K1 and vitamin K2.Vitamin K1 is found in plants, such as leafy green vegetables. Vitamin K2is usually of bacterial origin and can be found in some animal-based andfermented foods, it is mostly converted by the large intestine or liverfrom vitamin K1.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Many people get an adequate amount of vitamin K through their diet. It’salso present in most multivitamin supplements. Genetics are an activeplayer in this process and can be predictive of absorptionand conversion.  

Benefits of Vitamin K

Bone health – In a study in the Netherlands, vitamin K2 was three times more effective in enhancing bone metabolism than K1.

Blood clotting – Vitamin K is essential to blood clotting. In fact, in studies of severe vitamin K deficiency, clotting was almost impossible.

Supporting the efficacy of vitamin D – Vitamin K improves the impact of vitamin D when they are taken in combination.  

Vitamin K1 food sources include spinach, kale, turnip greens, collards, swiss chard, mustard greens, parsley, romaine, brussel sprouts, broccoli,cauliflower, and cabbage.  Vitamin K2 food sources include fermented foods, liver and natty

Folate

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Folate Need: Folate, or vitamin B9, is one of the B-vitamins needed tomake red and white blood cells in the bone marrow, convertcarbohydrates into energy, and produce DNA. It is available in manyfoods and typically found in multivitamin supplements. 

Folic Acid Conversion: Folic acid is the synthetic, inactive form ofvitamin B9.  In order to be used by the body, it needs to be converted intothe active form: folate.    

WHY THIS MATTERS

Folate Need: It’s difficult to get too much folate from food; however, itis possible to consume too much folic acid in the form of supplementsor fortified foods.  Folate is crucial to the body, brain and heart; thoseorgans rely on sufficient folate levels for optimal health.  

Folic Acid Conversion: Some individuals have a genetic predispositiontowards decreased conversion of folic acid. When folic acid isconsumed regularly, it can lead to a buildup in the body which can contribute to undesirable outcomes.   

Benefits of Folate

DNA synthesis and repair – Folate helps with the creation and maintenance of DNA.

Tissue growth – Folate’s role in DNA synthesis makes it essential to tissue and cell growth.

Cardiovascular health – Studies have shown that folate encourages normal cholesterol levels which are important to cardiovascular health.

Neurological health – Most observational studies show that higher folate levels correlate with low Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Folate food sources include beef liver, spinach, broccoli, bananas, strawberries, oranges, beans, avocado, tomatoes, beets, celery, asparagus, legumes,yeast, mushrooms, fish, and eggs.

Thiamine

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is essential to many bodilyfunctions, including nervous system integrity, muscle function, digestion,and carbohydrate metabolism.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Very little thiamine is stored in the body and depletion can occur quicklywhen not supplied through diet or supplementation. It is sometimescalled an "anti-stress" vitamin because it can strengthen the immunesystem and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.

 

Benefits of Thiamine

Energy production - B1 is responsible for converting sugar into energy which supports the smooth functioning of the body organs, especially the heart,brain, lungs, and kidneys.

Improves brain function - It ensures optimal cognitive performance of the brain and helps improve memory and concentration. Vitamin B1 helpsrelieve stress and also helps strengthen the nerves.

 

Thiamine food sources include beef, brewer's yeast, legumes (beans, lentils), milk, nuts, oats, oranges, pork, and rice.

Copper

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Copper is a micronutrient that is involved in many processes in the bodyand can easily become deficient due to the lack of intake (even in ahealthy diet). The body cannot produce copper on its own so it requiresdietary intake with food or supplementation.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Copper has a narrow range of safety; it is a common deficiency yet cancreate toxicity if over-supplemented. Most whole food sources are lowin copper.  

Benefits of Copper

Cognitive function - Too little or too much copper can have a negativeimpact on the brain. Ideal levels promote growth and development ofbrain pathways.

Thyroid health - Copper promotes optimal thyroid levels. A healthy thyroid is important in keeping adequate absorption of copper from the diet.

Long-term health - Copper is a requirement for ongoing DNA maintenance and repair.

Bone - Copper is important in maintenance and repair of bone and cartilage. Deficiencies can lead to low bone density.

Blood - Lack of copper can lead to iron deficiency.

Skin & hair - Copper is involved in the production of melanin, a pigment responsible for skin and hair color.

Copper food sources include oysters, shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, and organ meats (kidneys, liver, etc).

Iron

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Iron Need: Iron is an essential mineral and one of the mostcommon nutritional deficiencies around the world. Individuals with thehighest likelihood of an iron deficiency include menstruatingfemales, pregnant women, children, and those consuming a plant baseddiet. 

Iron Excess Propensity: Some individuals have a genetic propensitytowards increased iron levels.     

WHY THIS MATTERS

Iron Need: Almost 10% of women in developed countries are irondeficient. Fatigue, insomnia, hair loss, and ice crunching are commonsigns of deficiency. Inadequate intake of vitamin C can can contribute toiron malabsorption. Plant based iron is not incorporated as well asanimal based iron.

Iron Excess Propensity: Excessive levels of iron can contribute tofatigue, weakness, loss of libido, and high blood sugar.  

Benefits of Iron

Hemoglobin production - Dietary iron is a critical component for producing oxygen transport proteins within red blood cells.   

Oxygen transport - Iron contributes to oxygen transport throughout muscles.

Muscle function - Iron is critical for the brain and it is important in the production of neurotransmitters. Insufficient iron in the diet is associated withlow iron levels in the brain which can lead to changes in behavior and cognitive functioning.

Nitric Oxide

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Nitric Oxide is a molecule made by the body that allows blood, nutrients,and oxygen to travel to every part of your body effectively and efficiently.Bodies are capable of producing nitric oxide but some genetic variantscan alter that ability. Nitrates are the natural forms of nitric oxide that thebody can utilize. 80% of the nitrates in our diet come from vegetables.Interestingly, organic vegetables have less nitrates than conventionallyfarmed food due to reduced use of nitrogen based fertilizers.  

WHY THIS MATTERS 

High levels of nitric oxide have been shown to boost endurance andoxygen utilization.  

Benefits of Nitric Oxide

Cardiovascular – Nitric oxide can lower blood pressure and dilateblood vessels.

Exercise – Nitrates have been shown to decrease oxygen requirements of muscles during exercise and lead to greater endurance.

Brain – Nitric oxide is a potent antioxidant in the brain and functions as a neurotransmitter.

Immunity – Nitric oxide is used by our immune cells to kill invading bacteria.

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system. It is one of themost researched substances in the history of science and the world'smost consumed psychoactive drug. Genetic propensity can determinehow beneficial caffeine is for an individuals system. 

Caffeine Metabolism: Genetics provide an insight into how quickly anindividual breaks down or metabolizes caffeine.

Caffeine Jitters: Many people experience jitters when consuminghigh amounts of caffeine, genetics can inform the predispositionto experience jitters with low or moderate consumption.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Caffeine Metabolism: While many individuals metabolize caffeine slowly,some have a genetic propensity to eliminate caffeine from their bodiesefficiently. Studies demonstrate fast metabolizers have additionalbenefits from caffeine consumption. 

Caffeine Jitters: Caffeine may cause anxiety and have undesirable effects on sleep. While this is dependent on several variables such as timing andquantity, some have an increased genetic propensity. 

 

Benefits of Caffeine  

Energy – Caffeine can improve daily energy by interfering with a substance called adenosine.

Fat burning – Caffeine is one of only a handful of natural substances proven to improve fat loss.

Physical performance – Caffeine is a true performance enhancing substance.

Circadian Propensity

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

The circadian rhythm is a cycle that signals our bodies when to sleep,rise and eat. Humans are a diurnal species, meaning we are active duringthe day and sleep at night. Many feel more awake, alert, and capable ofour best work effort in the morning. However, there are those at theopposite end of the spectrum who prefer to stay up late and sleep wellinto the daytime hours. These individuals find themselves most alert inthe evening.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Recent research has revealed that the circadian clock is not as basic aswe once suspected. Individual circadian variations regulate the timing offunctions such as appetite, hormone release, and metabolism. Sleepgenes are some of the most important and impactful geneticsindividuals inherit. They are also unlikely to change with epigeneticexpression.  While some individuals are aware with their circadian rhythms, many are living in opposition of their genetic propensities. Forcing the bodyto fit into a sleep-wake cycle that does not match our genetics, can lead to circadian desynchronization.

Melatonin

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Melatonin is the sleep hormone.  Genetic can help to guide the need forsupplementation by looking at production, response to supplementation,and breakdown speed. Melatonin can be supplemented in conditionswhere production or response is diminished. 

Melatonin Production: Light has a strong production on melatonin;melatonin production decreases when light gets brighter and increasesas lights dim.  It can take up to 4 hours to produce optimal melatoninlevels for optimal sleep.

Melatonin Response: Certain individuals tend to respond to melatoninsupplementation whereas others experience minimal effects.

Melatonin Breakdown: Similar to caffeine, genetics can predispose individuals to vary in melatonin breakdown efficiency.    

WHY THIS MATTERS?

Melatonin Production: Production drops off dramatically as we age and this can have significant health impacts. Genetics provide an understanding asto optimal strategies to increase melatonin production and increase sleep quality.

Melatonin Response: Those with specific genetics may experience a better response from dietary sources of melatonin rather than supplementation.  

Melatonin Breakdown:  Depending on melatonin breakdown efficiency, some forms of melatonin may be more beneficial than others. For example, afast metabolizer may benefit from a delayed release supplement, whereas a slow metabolizer may feel waking drowsiness from the same levels.   

Functions of melatonin: 

Sleep - Melatonin is intimately involved with regulation of our circadian rhythm.

Antioxidant - A powerful free radical scavenger, melatonin interacts with immune cells to help boost response to infectious organisms.

Immune function - Melatonin interacts with immune cells to help boost response to infectious organisms.

Anti-aging - Melatonin plays a role in longevity.

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEAN

Normal sleep onset is the time from lying down to the first stages ofsleep. Onset is approximately 15-20 minutes, however, falling asleepfaster can indicate a degree of sleep deprivation.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Individual genetics play a large role in predicting longer or shorter sleeponset. Despite possessing a propensity for delayed sleeponset, identifying the genetic components that are most impactful to theprocess allows a much more directed and personalized approach tooptimal sleep interventions.  Onset of sleep outside of the typical rangeusually indicates either a genetic or lifestyle component.

WHAT THIS MEANS

When we don't get the sleep we need, we experience surges of stresshormones which disrupt our cognition and ability to regulate emotions.90% of adults require 7 - 9 hours of sleep a night.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

Studies have demonstrated that just two hours of sleep deprivation (5 - 6hours of sleep) results in a vigilance level equivalent to the consumptionof two alcoholic drinks. Interestingly, while there is a detrimental declinein vigilance our perceived level of vigilance will be normal. Lost sleepreduces brain power and productivity, diminishes concentration, andimpairs memory. It lowers creativity, reduces the ability to communicate,impairs motor skills, and increases stress and anxiety. Many factorscontribute to how long we sleep.

Toxinsinclude medications, supplements, and even things that are produced byan individual's physiology. Phase 1 changes toxins into a form that canbe flushed out of an individual's system. 

Medication, anesthetic, acetaminophen, and NSAID metabolisms: Eachindividual has different breakdown speeds of various toxins dependingon genetic propensity and also epigenetic factors.

Estrogen Metabolism:  This is a more complex breakdown compared toother toxins.There are multiple ways estrogen can break down;some more desirable than others. Genetics can predict this likelihood.

WHY THIS MATTERS

This first phase can convert toxins into benign forms but it also has thepotential of creating an even more toxic product. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to both phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification pathways.

Medication, anesthetic, acetaminophen, and NSAID metabolisms: Depending on breakdown speed, individuals can experience different formsof imbalance when theres a build-up of these toxins.  Understanding one's propensity can provide insight into how the body responds to them.

Estrogen Metabolism: Understanding the propensity can indicate an area that may benefit from more precise measurement and support.

Methylation

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

As you know, epigenetics changes the expression of genes based on theenvironment.  Methylation plays a crucial part in this process, andoptimal balance creates desirable outcomes. Methylation is one of themost important processes in the body and it plays a significant role indetoxification.   

WHY THIS MATTERS

When methylation is out of balance, it causes systemic effects that canlead to undesirable outcomes.  There are many variables toconsider such as micronutrient levels and lifestyle factors.Impactful micronutrients include B12, B6, and folate,whereas, important lifestyle factors include smoking and alcoholreduction, consistent exercise, and stress optimization.  

Overmethylation symptoms include paranoia, self mutilation (tattoos,piercings), depression, artistic or music abilities, low motivation, upperbody/head/neck pain, high pain threshold, a lot of body hair, hard time shutting mind off, food/chemical sensitivities, high anxiety, sleep disorder, panictendencies, adverse reactions to antihistamine, and pacing.  

Undermethylation symptoms include obsessive compulsive tendencies, history of perfectionism, history of high accomplishment, ritualistic behaviors,low tolerance for pain, addictive tendencies, self-motivated, history of competitiveness in sports, social isolation, tendency towards slenderness,phobias, seasonal allergies, frequent headaches, very strong willed, poor concentration endurance.

Mold Sensitivity

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

It is estimated that nearly 25% of the population carries genetics that predispose to decreased mold detoxification. Often genetic variants correspondto decreased production of the antibodies that eliminate mold toxins. This can lead to chronic inflammation and overall diminished wellness. There aretwo factors  to consider when determining need for support: level and duration of exposure and genetics of the detoxification system.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

When it comes to mold, consider that according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE)study, 45% of U.S. buildings have current/ongoing water damage and 85% have past water damage. This is a ripe breeding ground for mold. Symptomscan include: chronic headache, fatigue, dizziness, memory problems/brain fog, muscle aches, cough, and shortness of breath.

Heavy Metal Processing and Impact

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Genetics predispose the likely health impact of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and mercury. All heavy metalsare processed similarly, however mercury is the most encountered.  

Overall Heavy Metal Processing:  Heavy metal processing is how fast your body absorbs and eliminates heavy metals. 

Inorganic Metal Processing:  Inorganic mercury exposure comes from inhaled environmental pollutants, food, dental amalgams, vaccinations, andeven supplements. Some Ayurvedic herbs have significant heavy metal contamination. Ayurveda is the traditional Hindu system of medicine; it isbased on the idea of balance in the body and uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing.

Organic Metal Processing:  Organic metal is the form found in nature; individuals are principally exposed to through fish consumption.

Heavy Metal Health Impact:  Certain gene variants can predispose an individual to significant impact from even low levels of exposure. Studies havedemonstrated that this may be related to genetics; gene variants provide a picture of how heavy metal ingestion affects overall health. Heavy metaleffects impact each individual differently due to variations in the distribution, metabolism, and elimination. 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Overall/Inorganic/Organic Metal Processing:  Low processing can contribute to a build up of heavy metals in the system and creates non-desirablehealth impacts. 

Heavy Metal Health Impact:  Heavy metals can affect many body systems including the brain & nervous system, heart, and kidneys. There are impactson reproductive and endocrine function. It can induce or exacerbate autoimmune disease and neurologic risks in the perinatal and earlychildhood period can lead to cognitive and behavioral changes. Although all forms of heavy metals have adverse effects on human health at highdoses, the evidence suggests low level of exposure may potentially lead to significant outcomes.

Mercury and Fish

Fish consumption is one of the more robustly discussed topics as itrepresents the greatest source of exposure to organic mercury. Thisinformation by itself may prompt people to avoid fish yet it is only part ofthe story. The truth is that fish is very healthy; it is full of omega-3 fats. Additionally, most fish contain a high ratio of selenium to mercury. Thisratio is much more important than the absolute mercury contentbecause selenium essentially makes mercury nonreactive. Recentevidence suggests a major contributors of mercury symptoms may bedue to selenium deficiency.  Consuming fish with a higher level ofselenium than mercury is safe and healthy.

About Athletic Performance Genetics

Interpretations & Recommendations from your coach, Mickra Hamilton

Key Points Strong VO2 Max genetics; especially muscle VO2 Max Low muscle fatiguability; longer muscle endurance Slightly increased recovery timeafter intense exercise; liposomal vitamin C will enhance recovery Average strength and hypertrophy genetics Propensity towards endurance ratherthan power/sprint Above average benefit from soft tissue support over time Performance Recommendations Berberine, D-ribose and allmitochondrial boosters mentioned earlier to boost ATP recycling and mitochondrial function Ashwagandha to reduce soreness and fatigue afterintense exercise Incorporate flexibility training over time to protect soft tissue; BPC-157 is also very effective.

There is strong correlational evidence that genetics play an importantrole in athletic performance.  Correlation means two things have ademonstrated tendency to show up together. For example, elite athletestend to have certain genetics, however, having genetics similar to eliteathletes does not guarantee elite performance.  On the other hand, thereare elite athletes that possess genetics which are not indicators of eliteperformance.  Several factors can attribute to this seemingly disparateoccurrences such as genetics, epigenetics, and environmental factors.

Athletic propensities are generally expressed through a combination ofSNPs rather than a single relevant SNP. Epigenetics provides the abilityto change the genetic expression through environment and lifestyle. Thealteration of specific genes occurs through  nutrigenomics, which is the strategic use of nutrition and supplementation to change epigeneticexpression. 

Keep in mind, genetics is about propensities and probabilities, not absolutes. Having ideal genes for elite performance will not make you an eliteathlete, and not having optimal performance genetics does not make it out of reach. This translation guide is not designed to provide direct toconsumer guidance; it should be used as away to open a discussion with an Apeiron Certified Epigenetic Human Performance Coach who understandsthe art and science of genetics, epigenetics, and the interactive component of using the personal genetic blueprint to guide success in alignment withyour specific goals.

VO2 Max Overall

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during intense exercise. There are three different categories of VO2 Max:cardiovascular, metabolic, and muscle. Most genetic analysis are correlation based studies and compare athletes with elite performance capabilitiesto non-elite athletes.  VO2 max is a common measure of athletic performance and can be used to guide training programs for optimal outcomes. Eliteendurance athletes consider optimal VO2 max an essential area to optimize. 

WHY THIS MATTERS

There is a strong genetic component to VO2 max; genetics can predict 25-50% of the differences between individuals. VO2 max takes into accountcardiac stroke volume, heart rate, vascular tone, muscle fiber type, and metabolic machinery of the cell.  This report breaks down individual pieces ofthe system that contribute to VO2 max and the specific gene variants that contribute to the components. This helps to bio-individualize recommendations for improvement.

Thyroid

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

The thyroid gland is one of the most important organs in the body. It is responsible for production of hormones that control metabolism. The gland'sinvolvement in metabolism affects a range of body functions such as body weight, cognitive functions, body temperature, menstrual cycles, muscleperformance, and cholesterol.

TSH Propensity: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone that determines how much thyroid hormone is produced

DIO1 Activity: These SNPs predict conversion of inactive thyroid hormone to the active form throughout the body (not including within the brain)

DIO2 Activity: These SNPs predict conversion of inactive thyroid hormone to the active form within the brain

WHY THIS MATTERS

The production and utilization of thyroid hormone is highly complex. Optimizing outcomes requires a deep knowledge of the interactions of lifestyle,environment, genetics, and epigenetics. 

TSH Propensity: Genetic variations predict likely TSH levels for optimal production. This works well in combination with blood lab tests to createprecise strategies for optimal outcomes

DIO1 Activity: Thyroid conversion is important to maintaining optimal performance

DIO2 Activity: Reduced activity can contribute to thyroid hormone deficiency in the brain which may not be present in blood testing

Possible signs of over-active thyroid include anxiety, insomnia, shaking hands, weight loss, sweating, and hair loss.

Possible signs of under-active thyroid includes weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, cold hands/feet, and constipation.

Cortisol Production: Genetics predict the likely production of cortisol in alignment with circadian propensity and in response to stress

Cortisol Receptor Response: The responsiveness of your body to cortisol

WHY THIS MATTERS

Many of these SNPs are highly vulnerable to life events that can epigenetically modify their expression. This suggests lifestyle factors may producesignificant impacts on expressions despite genetic predispositions.

Cortisol Production: Cortisol is essential to wake us up in the morning, it boosts performance during acute stress, and low to moderate levels areneeded for decision making

Estrogen

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Estrogen is a beneficial hormone in both males and females. It has manybenefits beyond involvement in reproduction; it is essential to bonehealth. 

Estrogen Conversion from Testosterone:  Testosterone is broken downinto estrogen; this is the primary way it is produced

Estrogen Receptor Response:  Genetics predict the likely response toestrogen - this gauge only applies to females 

Estrogen Metabolism:  There are multiple ways estrogen can breakdown; some more desirable than others. Genetics canpredict this likelihood

WHY THIS MATTERS

Estrogen Conversion from Testosterone:  In females, estrogen is important for maintaining the health of the sex organs, sex drive, and sexualfunction. In males, a lack of estrogen, even with normal testosterone, can contribute to diminished sex drive and erectile dysfunction

Estrogen Receptor Response:  When estrogen levels and receptors are out of balance, it can contribute to symptoms such as decreased memorycognitive function or increased intensity of menstrual cycles

Estrogen Metabolism:  Understanding the propensity can indicate an area that may benefit from more precise measurement and support

Testosterone

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Testosterone is traditionally classified as the primary sex hormone; the reality is that it is the primary sex hormone in both males and females. To fullyunderstand testosterone availability and benefits in the body, it is important to look at several factors that contribute to the outcome. These include;the amount of binding from SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), response to LH (luteinizing hormone), and conversion to DHT (dihydrotestosterone),and conversion to estrogen. 

LH Levels:  Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for the production of testosterone  

SHBG Levels:  Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is responsible for binding testosterone making it unavailable

DHT Levels:  Testosterone breaks down into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is responsible for adolescent male development

Estrogen Conversion from Testosterone:   Testosterone is also broken down into estrogen 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Optimal testosterone levels contribute to many benefits including improved wellbeing, improved confidence and drive, improved sex drive, improvedbone density, improved strength & muscle, decreased cognitive decline, decreased body fat, and improved mood.

LH Levels:  Understanding LH levels provides insight into testosterone production propensity

SHBG Levels:  In order to experience the benefits of testosterone, it must be available and useable. SHBG is one of the most important pieces todetermine testosterone availability  

DHT Levels:  Genetics provide insight regarding if further measurement and management is advisable

Estrogen Conversion from Testosterone:  In females, estrogen is important for maintaining the health of the sex organs, sex drive, and sexualfunction. In males, a lack of estrogen, even with normal testosterone, can contribute to diminished sex drive and erectile dysfunction

Bone Density

RELEVANT SNP'S

WHAT THIS MEANS

Various degrees of low bone density are common in todays society. Studies show that over 50% of 50-59yo females and over 30% of 50-59yo males have low bone density. This process is usually silent andoften discovered after a major bone fracture. Therefore, regularscreening and optimization are so important.

Vitamin K Need: Vitamin K includes a family of compounds,including vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. Vitamin K1 is found in plants, suchas leafy green vegetables. Vitamin K2 is usually of bacterial origin andcan be found in some animal-based and fermented foods but is mostlyconverted by the large intestine or liver from vitamin K1

Bone Density Support Need: Genetics can provide a propensity towardsbone density advantage or need for support

WHY THIS MATTERS

Decreased bone density is becoming more common in younger population; screening shows low levels in males and females in their 20’s and lateteens.  

Vitamin K Need: Many people get an adequate amount of vitamin K through their diet. It’s also present in most multivitamin supplements. Geneticscan be an active player in this process and can be predictive of absorption and conversion

Bone Density Support Need: Everyone is at risk of low bone density without consistent load-bearing exercise and optimal vitamin D levels. Geneticsprovides a more precise picture towards need for management.
