Very saddened to hear the loss of an iconic actor, Gene Hackman, his wife and his dog . I can name so many iconic movies he’s been in, but my favorite ones are definitely the birdcage and Mississippi burning. He will be missed but never forgotten.🤍 #genehackman #rip #thebirdcage #wearefam

Most people don’t realize chocolate is a recessive gene 🤎🧬
That means both parents must carry it in order to have chocolate pups. Some parents can carry the gene without looking chocolate themselves 👀 This is why genetic testing is important! When both pass it down… chocolate puppies happen • • • #chocolatepup #chocolatebernedoodle #reces

MTHFR Gene Mutation
If your antidepressant feels like it’s doing… nothing, there may be a missing piece. Some people carry variants of the MTHFR gene that make it harder to convert folic acid into the active form needed for the one-carbon cycle — a pathway required to produce serotonin and other neurotransmitters.
