Understanding Genomics: A Practical Foundation
Most people encounter genetic information as a list of gene names, rsIDs, and letter combinations. This course helps you understand what that information actually means — and what it doesn’t.
Instead of focusing on individual genes in isolation, you’ll learn how genes function within pathways and regulatory systems that shape energy, hormones, detoxification, gut–brain communication, and long-term resilience.
Throughout the course, you’ll build a structured understanding of:
- What gene variants represent and how to read them
- Why one gene is never the whole story
- How energy regulation operates through overlapping pathways
- How hormone signaling, detox, and methylation interact
- Why gut and brain function are always connected
- How daily system patterns shape long-term resilience
- When individual genes matter — and why
This course does not teach protocols or interpretation. It builds the framework that makes genomic information understandable.
By the end, you’ll be able to look at genetic data and recognize how it fits into broader biological systems — turning scattered information into structured context.
How Genes Regulate Energy, Hormones, and Detox Pathways
This course helps you understand how these regulatory systems work together — and, if you have your genotype data, how your own genetic tendencies may influence those patterns.
You’ll learn how to:
• See how hormone signaling begins before detox
• Understand how Phase 1, Phase 2, and elimination pathways interact
• Recognize how stress reshapes system demand
• Identify where regulatory load can accumulate
• Interpret patterns across energy, hormones, and detox systems
If you have your genetic data, you’ll be guided step-by-step in locating key variants and mapping how they may influence your regulatory capacity.
If you don’t, you’ll still gain a structured understanding of how these systems function — so lab patterns and symptoms make more sense in context.
By the end, you’ll understand how regulatory patterns develop — and why they show up the way they do.
