Does my DNA really impact my weight and wellbeing?

You might be surprised how much you can learn about your day-to-day from your DNA. Helix Wellness can get you started with eight fascinating and personal genetic traits.

Traits included:

Body mass index (BMI) introduction

It’s no secret that genetics plays a role in weight, since two people who eat the same foods can have very different responses. You'll learn about just one of the many genes that influences BMI, the FTO gene, and how it influences your weight.

Calcium levels

Nutrients we eat are metabolized by enzymes in our body. DNA changes can affect how these enzymes work and result in small changes in nutrient levels. How does your DNA affect your calcium levels?

Gluten tolerance

Gluten intolerance is an immune reaction to the gluten found in wheat, barley, and other grains. When gluten is ingested it causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine.

Vitamin D levels

Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and many other functions in the body. You get most of your vitamin D from foods, but your genetics can play a role in how you use vitamin D.

Alcohol flush

Most of us know the effects of alcohol on our bodies. But did you know that your body also influences some of these effects? A specific genetic factor has been linked to how people metabolize alcohol.

Delayed Sleep

Humans have a natural cycle of wake and sleep. Rare genetic factors can cause big shifts in this cycle, causing people to naturally go to bed hours later than others. This is a very rare trait, and not the same as just staying up late.

Endurance vs power

Being a world-class endurance athlete takes disciplined training, years of practice, and the right attitude. It also seems that genetics can provide people with an edge. Learn more about one genetic variant found more commonly in endurance athletes.
