The foods you eat do more than just fuel your body - they shape the trillions of microbes in your gut that interact closely with your immune system.
A recent study explored how plant-based fibre and fermented foods both play unique roles in influencing this gut-immune connection.
Why do some people thrive under pressure while others feel overwhelmed? Part of the answer may lie in your genes – specifically, a gene called COMT, often nicknamed the “Warrior/Worrier” gene.
At MyGene, our Super Methylation Test includes your COMT type, helping you understand your Warrior/Worrier profile in the context of your overall genetic blueprint. This allows you to tailor nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management strategies to work with your biology.
Are you a Warrior, a Worrier, or somewhere in between? Discover your profile and start building resilience from your genes up.
Plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue — microplastics are now turning up in human reproductive tissue, disrupting hormones and accelerating aging. A recent study suggests that anthocyanins, the pigments that give berries and other red-purple foods their colour, may help counter these effects by protecting hormone balance, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular resilience. Discover how these natural compounds could become part of your defence strategy in a modern world full of hidden toxins.
Also known as the “sunshine vitamin”, vitamin D is well–known for its role in supporting strong bones – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. At the cellular and genetic level, vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a typical nutrient, influencing hundreds of processes in nearly every cell. Its reach extends into nearly every tissue, including your brain, your heart, and even your DNA.
