Toxin Sensitivities
You're the person who "reacts to everything," but tests show nothing. Thirteen insights on mold, histamine, heavy metals, and the chemicals your body tends to react to.
What you will see in this area.
Each one appears as a dark card in your Genomic Lifestyle Optimization Report, with a color marker set by your variants and a practical next step.
Heavy Metal Processing
4 insights
Heavy Metal Health Impact
Detox speed for mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic varies dramatically between people. Slow detoxers accumulate more from the same everyday exposure everyone gets, and benefit most from reducing exposure, cleaner sourcing, and periodic testing.
Read insightInorganic Metal Processing Capacity
Lead from old pipes, cadmium from soil, and aluminum from cookware: your clearance rate for these common exposures varies. Slow processors benefit from better water filtration, periodic testing, and cookware upgrades. Fast processors have more natural resilience.
Read insightOrganic Metal Processing Capacity
Methylmercury clearance (mostly from fish) varies widely. Slow processors can only safely eat high-mercury fish occasionally; fast processors have more flexibility. This determines whether "eat more fish for omega-3s" is good advice or a net negative for you specifically.
Read insightOverall Heavy Metal Processing Speed
Your combined genetic score for all heavy-metal pathways. A low score means prioritizing a low-toxin lifestyle pays real dividends; a high score means natural resilience that doesn't require as much vigilance.

Histamine
6 insights
Histamine Metabolism
DAO and HNMT enzymes break down histamine from wine, cheese, fermented foods, and leftovers. If yours run slow, you know exactly what happens: flushing, headaches, racing heart, or IBS symptoms within an hour of sushi. This confirms it's not "all in your head."
Read insightHistamine Production
Some immune systems overproduce histamine even without obvious allergens. This explains year-round congestion, itching, or hives that antihistamines only partly control, because you're constantly producing more than you can clear.
Read insightHistamine Receptor Function
Same histamine level, wildly different reaction. High receptor sensitivity turns normal amounts into hives, racing heart, or anxiety, even when production and breakdown are fine. The issue isn't how much histamine you have. It's how loudly your body hears it.
Read insightHistamine Transport Efficiency
Even with good breakdown enzymes, poor cellular export traps histamine inside cells, where it keeps causing problems. This variant explains widespread symptoms from tiny triggers that "shouldn't" bother anyone, and why even low-histamine diets don't fully work.
Read insightSensitivity to Food-based Histamine
Your ability to tolerate aged cheeses, wine, cured meats, and fermented foods without symptoms. Low tolerance is surprisingly common, and completely manageable once you stop blaming random foods and start seeing the pattern.
Read insightSensitivity to Histamine
Your global histamine tolerance, combining production, breakdown, receptor sensitivity, and transport into one clear picture. This is the master view that explains the whole pattern instead of just individual puzzle pieces.

Environmental & Biotoxin Sensitivities
3 insights
Sensitivity to Mold Toxins
Immune and detox response to mycotoxins varies dramatically. High sensitivity explains "mystery illness" after moving into a water-damaged building, and why other people in the same space feel fine. Knowledge enables proper remediation and targeted support instead of years of unexplained symptoms.
Read insightSensitivity to Pollution and Envirotoxins
Detox efficiency for VOCs, exhaust, fragrances, and pesticides varies. Higher-sensitivity individuals feel city air, new car smell, and perfume counters, and often recover dramatically with cleaner environments and air filtration. It's not being "difficult." It's biology.
Read insightSymptom Severity of Lyme Disease
Immune profile shapes whether Lyme tends to clear easily after treatment or linger. If you sit on the higher-response side, that is worth telling your clinician early, before a wait-and-see plan is chosen.

What this area tells you.
Some immune systems shrug off mold. Others mount a full response to trace amounts. The same goes for histamine, heavy metals, and chemicals: your variants shape whether an exposure is a non-event or a spiral.
Once you know which exposures your body tends to react to, mysterious symptoms get names, and the changes you make get specific.
