Prediabetes and Insulin Resistance: Why Hundreds of Thousands of Dutch People Are Diagnosed Too Late
Many Dutch people have undetected prediabetes and insulin resistance, according to research by the Diabetes Fund. With tests such as HbA1c and HOMA-IR, you can detect elevated blood sugar and reduced insulin sensitivity at an early stage. By intervening early with lifestyle and counseling, you can often prevent type 2 diabetes.
Histamine symptoms: why testing is often the missing puzzle piece
Histamine symptoms often result from impaired breakdown, methylation problems or intestinal imbalance. Cutting out food alone is rarely enough to identify the cause. Targeted blood, DNA and microbiome testing through Blood Value Testing will give you insight into what is really going on.
Why additional gene analysis is a valuable addition to your iGene DNA Health test
The iGene DNA Health test provides valuable basic insights about predisposition and lifestyle. With ExtraGene (extra gene analysis) you go deeper into processes such as methylation, detox, hormones and neurotransmitters. In a personal consultation you translate this into a practical action plan for complaints and prevention.
Psilocybin and aging: promising or too early to cheer?
A recent study suggests that psilocybin may affect cellular aging and survival in mice, which has attracted much attention. While the results at the cellular level and in animal models are interesting, there is no evidence that these effects also occur in humans. Experts stress that the research is promising, but for now too limited and speculative to consider psilocybin as an anti-aging intervention.
Vitamin B6 is essential for energy, nerves and the immune system, but long-term excessive intake can actually lead to nerve damage. Because many people supplement without measurement, the risk of complaints such as tingling and numbness grows. By specifically measuring vitamin B6, preferably also intracellularly, you prevent damage and supplement only when really needed.
