…e that talk last month in May 2021 — it was to focus on the genetics of dementia and the nutrigenomics (supplements designed to get around any deleterious genetic errors involved in the process) that had been thought to be preventative to t…

…s this type of reaction. I began to wonder if I was also at risk with high copper foods. It is definitely worth it to figure out how to prevent illnesses and live a healthier lifestyle. Now what foods are high in copper? More foods than you…

Aloha cherished Friends & Guests! Food is everywhere. The smell, the taste, the sight of it. It is hard not indulging in the delicious aromas surrounding you, especially when your stomach is grumbling and your automatic thought is to satisfy your hunger. I love food, and when my stomach is grumbling all I want to do is ‘feed the beast’. Have you ever thought about the benefits of fasting (for 24, 48 or 72 hours)? If you are religious or needed blood work, surgeries, or procedures, you may be familiar to fasting. As I mentioned previously, I am a breast cancer survivor. The benefits of fasting

Are your B vitamins making you feel worse instead of better? Methylated B vitamins can be incredibly helpful for energy, homocysteine metabolism, neurological health, and many essential processes. But the right nutrient can become the wron

CRISPR is in the process of coming up with a treatment to change your genetic mutations. This could mean helping fix the mutations that put you at risk for Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, strokes, or Factor V Leiden. Stay on the look out for this very exciting new technology as it advances!

The real root of fibromyalgia? It’s not just pain — it’s copper. We’ve uncovered that fibromyalgia is often driven by genetic mutations (like CBS, GAD1, GAD2) that affect how your body handles copper. The copper builds up in your blood but never makes it into your cells — leading to widespread pain, inflammation, and migraines.

Homocysteine is nasty — but here’s the truth no one tells you. It doesn’t kill you directly — it triggers white blood cells to release IL-8 and MCP-1, causing inflammation, kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes. Most doctors don’t even check it anymore, thinking there’s no fix. But there is. Whether from 17 genetic SNPs or 12 vitamin deficiencies (like B6 or B12), you can address it by supporting your body’s ability to convert homocysteine into glutathione.

Struggling with high blood pressure that just won’t budge—even with multiple meds? It might be due to genetic issues causing high homocysteine , which can stiffen your arteries through IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines.

High homocysteine levels can lead to inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and even shifting pain throughout the body. It’s also linked to birth defects and chronic kidney failure, and can raise blood pressure. Six genetic SNPs (like MTR, MTRR, and CBS) and MTHFR mutations (like C677T) can prevent homocysteine from converting into glutathione, which is essential for keeping inflammation in check. Plus, 12 vitamin deficiencies may temporarily raise homocysteine levels, so addressing these deficiencies is key.

Every woman with PCOS I’ve ever tested has a homocysteine problem... That’s what Dr. Dan Purser says — and it might explain why so many women with PCOS struggle with pain, inflammation, fatigue, and even kidney or blood pressure issues. Hom

🚨 High homocysteine isn’t just a lab number—it’s a warning sign. Genes like MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, and GGH can overactivate the methylation cycle and lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which drives inflammation, stroke risk, and even kidney failure.
