CMA and Genetics Jus

From the original video description

CMA testing shows the vitamin deficiencies happening inside your cells, while genetic testing reveals why they’re happening in the first place. Patients often find their symptoms match exactly what the CMA shows, and when paired with genetic results, the root causes become clear. In most cases, it’s the genetic errors that drive the deficiencies—not the other way around—making the combination of both tests powerful for finding lasting solutions.

What what do you think the responses you get from patients as to how they're doing? What this how what do you see when you talk to them about these vitamin deficiencies CMA reports? Yeah. Yeah. So, what I see um obviously number one, a lot of correlations when people come in with uh their symptoms that they have and complaints that they have that

you're able to draw a lot of correlations off that CMA test. Um and then typically uh we're able to draw a lot of conclusions um then going to the genetic test. And so it's pretty interesting seeing um you know the blending of the two worlds there with the CMA and the genetics and figuring

out solutions for each patient. Don't you agree that the genetics from Well, I don't want to put words in your mouth. Argue with me if you want, but from what I can tell the genetic issues that people have are usually the cause of the vitamin deficiencies, not the

other way around. Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely. We see that a lot. Um obviously sitting in with a lot of Dr. person's patients and the genetic patients um we see a lot of correlation between that um uh the genes and then going into the CMA and seeing all those deficiencies and where they come

MTHFR and the Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Tired, Craving Sugar, and Chasing Energy A

That afternoon sugar craving may be telling you more than you think. Here’s how methylation, glucose, cellular energy and your genetics may fit into the bigger picture. https://danpursermd.substack.com/p/mthfr-and-the-never-ending-sugar?utm_source=youtube

MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets

MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets If you have an MTHFR variant (C677T or A1298C), you may constantly battle fatigue, sugar cravings, and energy crashes — even when you’re “doing everything right.” In this video, we break down exactly why this happens: How MTHFR/methylation issues impair ATP (energy) production at the cellular level Why your body desperately reaches for quick glucose The vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes → insulin crashes → more cravings & fat storage The downstream effects on antioxidants, DNA repair, and overall energy How to finally break the cycle: Targeted supplementation that fills methylation “holes” (what we learned from 15–20k intracellular tests) Why our MTHFR Daily multivitamin was specifically formulated for this The power of CMA intracellular testing Intermittent fasting (12–16 hrs) Fasted cardio (even just a brisk walk) High-protein, real-food diet with minimal processed sugars If you’re tired of the sugar rollercoaster and want stable energy, this is for you.
