I probably was sloppy with the semantics. Gene regulation is influenced by DHA, for example, but that's not an immediate effect, as you describe. Your sensitivity is due to your genetic complement (how your genes are already regulated). Now, just why you get a stimulation of that magnitude is not clear, but dopaminergic activity is, in part, regulated by free DHA levels.
