Genotype Impact What it means
AA (Normal) Normal Higher-expressing serotonin transporter - typically more resilient to stress. Keep supportive habits (sleep, omega-3s, daylight, exercise).
AG (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate serotonin-transporter expression - average stress sensitivity. Protective habits (regular exercise, omega-3s, good sleep, sunlight) support mood.
GG (Variant) Moderate Lower-expressing variant - more sensitive to stress and to your environment, for better and worse. Prioritise stress management, sleep, omega-3s, daylight and social support. Not a diagnosis.
