SSRIs don’t work the same for everyone, and there’s a reason for that. 🧬

Each person’s biochemistry is different.

Some people may not be making enough serotonin.
Others may not be breaking it down properly.

So increasing serotonin isn’t always the solution, and in some cases, it can actually make symptoms worse.

Understanding your genetic pathways helps uncover what your body actually needs.

Not every treatment works the same way for every person.

In some cases, people can react very differently to antidepressants like SSRIs or SNRIs — including experiencing symptoms linked to excessive serotonin activity, such as agitation, sweating, irritability, or severe discomfort.

Why?

Because genetics can influence how your body processes neurotransmitters, medications, and stress-related chemicals.

This is where precision health matters.

Understanding genetic tendencies may help provide deeper insight into how someone’s body responds to certain interventions and why a personalized approach is so important.

The goal isn’t fear.

It’s informed decision-making, personalization, and empowerment.

Because healthcare should support what makes sense for your biology.

Have you ever taken an antidepressant and felt like it just… didn’t work?
Or worse — felt more anxious and wound up than before?

You’re not imagining things. And it’s not a character flaw.

It may be your genes. 🧬

In this week’s Q&A, Dr. J explains exactly what’s happening in your brain when you take an SSRI — and why genetic variants in just a few key genes can make the difference between relief and a really rough reaction.

She also covers something critically important: why stopping antidepressants without medical guidance can be dangerous — and what a safer, more personalized path forward can look like.

This is the kind of conversation most doctors don’t have time for — but Dr. J does. 💙

Spending money on supplements but not seeing results?

It may not be the supplement — it may be how your body processes it.

Absorption, activation, and dosage all play a role in whether nutrients are actually used by your body. And your genes can influence each step of that process.

More is not always better. And the “right” supplement is only effective when it matches your biology.

Supplements may seem harmless.

But they can have powerful effects on your body.

Every supplement interacts with your biochemistry — and in some cases, with medications as well. Without understanding those interactions, it’s possible to create unintended imbalances.

Some combinations may even work against each other.

Others may contribute to symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, or other disruptions — even when you think you’re doing the “right” thing.

This is why guidance matters.

Understanding how your genes, lifestyle, and current health all interact can help you make safer, more effective choices.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Vitamin D is often seen as a “safe” and essential supplement.

But more isn’t always better.

Vitamin D affects calcium regulation, hormone balance, and multiple biochemical pathways in the body. And depending on your genetics, your body may process and respond to it very differently.

For some people, high doses can lead to imbalances — affecting mood, sleep, and even where calcium is deposited in the body.

That’s why personalization matters.

The right dose for one person may not be right for another.

Understanding your genetic tendencies can help guide what your body actually needs — instead of guessing or overdoing it.

Supplements aren’t always harmless.

In fact, if they’re not matched to your physiology, they can actually do more harm than good. 🧬

Every supplement you take affects multiple biochemical pathways — not just one.

If your body can’t properly process what you’re taking, it can lead to symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, irritability, or fatigue.

That’s why personalization matters.

Supplements aren’t neutral.

They have real, measurable effects on your body’s biochemistry.

Every supplement you take influences pathways involved in energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitters, hormones, and more — all happening at the cellular level, thousands of times per second.

That’s why it’s not as simple as:
“I have this gene, so I’ll take this supplement.”

Because when you activate one pathway, you’re also affecting many others.

Even commonly recommended nutrients — like vitamin D — can have very different effects depending on your genetics, your current levels, and how your body processes them.

In some cases, the wrong supplement (or the wrong dose) may contribute to symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, or other imbalances.

This is why personalized guidance matters.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

🚨 Could your supplements actually be making you anxious?

It sounds backwards, right? But it happens more than you’d think, and Dr. J explains exactly why in this week’s Q&A.

The short version: every supplement you take sets off a chain reaction in your biochemistry. And if you have certain genetic variants downstream, that reaction can leave you wired, irritable, and wide awake at 2 am. 😬

Even something as “healthy” as vitamin D can backfire if it’s not matched to your genes.

The good news? When you understand your genetic blueprint, you can take exactly what your body needs — no guessing, no surprises, no unnecessary anxiety.

Still feeling tired — even when you are doing everything “right”?

Your mitochondria may be the missing piece.

These tiny energy factories inside your cells are responsible for producing the fuel your body runs on. And your genes can influence how efficiently they function, how well you handle oxidative stress, and how your body recovers from physical and mental demands.

When mitochondrial function is not supported, fatigue, brain fog, and low resilience can follow.

The good news? Once you understand how your genes impact energy production, you can support your body in a more targeted and effective way.

For years, many approaches focused on managing symptoms.

But what if that’s only part of the picture?

In some cases, relying on short-term support can act as a stopgap without addressing the deeper biological pathways involved.

That’s where a more root-cause, systems-based approach comes in.

By understanding the underlying biochemistry, including how genes influence key pathways, practitioners can better support long-term balance instead of just temporary relief.

If you’re a practitioner looking to go deeper, My Happy Genes offers training to help you integrate genetics into your work and better support your clients.

Adrenal fatigue isn’t just about being “tired.”

It’s often a deeper imbalance in how your body makes and clears stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. 🧬

Some people aren’t producing enough.
Others have had too much for too long.

Either way, the result is the same: exhaustion, poor sleep, low motivation, and feeling stuck.

When you understand your genetics, you can identify where that imbalance is happening and support your body at the root level.

How I Found My Happy Genes!

This program was designed to show you where you may have inherited some genes that cause you to struggle with depression, anxiety, attention or addiction issues. Having struggled myself for many years, I found help through understanding my genetic variants that were causing difficulties for me. It was so comforting to realize that there was a real reason for my mood disorders and to have some answers about how to balance myself with nutritional supplements. Today, I feel happy, focused and more balanced than I have ever felt in my life. I want to pass this knowledge on to those who are struggling too. In this program you will likely find some insights into what make you unique and where you might be struggling.
