Tired, foggy, low hormones, and nothing helps? It’s probably not magic—it’s nutrient deficiency. Dr. Purser uses CMA with Redox testing to go deeper than your average doctor ever will. He sees severe lipoic acid, biotin, PQQ, and lithium deficiencies causing symptoms that mimic dementia, thyroid issues, or low testosterone. It’s not “manopause”—it’s vitaminopause. Find the root cause, don’t just chase prescriptions.

High homocysteine? It’s not the number—it’s the cytokines it triggers (like IL-8) that cause strokes, kidney failure & inflammation. We found 17 gene SNPs + 12 vitamin deficiencies that drive it—and VARS Glutathione helps shut it down.

One of the most powerful nutrients you’ve never heard of? Phosphatidylcholine. It builds the walls of your cells, protects your gut lining, supports nerve function, and even helps your body make bile. If you have a PEMT gene mutation, your body struggles to make it—and that means gut issues, nerve dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.

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.

This episode is special. Here we have 4 women discussing their journey of Thriving with Fibro while following the Purser Protocols for Fibromyalgia. Over the years, a community has grown and support each other.

Want to keep your brain sharp and reduce your risk of dementia? New research shows that key nutrients can boost memory, support brain function, and prevent cognitive decline—and we’ve packed them into Brite Brain, our most advanced brain formula yet!

Did you know scurvy is still around today? It might sound like an old pirate disease, but a lack of Vitamin C can still cause fatigue, joint pain, bleeding gums, and slow healing. Without Vitamin C, your body can’t make collagen, which is essential for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.

Top genes to keep an eye out for - homocysteine related genes, PEMT, and VDR. GET THESE ALL IN CHECK! If they are out of whack you’re gonna have a lot of problems, but we can address them. Get genetic testing and and Intracellular nutrient test and we go from there. Reach to my practice to get going. You got this.

Scurvy, no one should have it in these modern ages, but I see these patients again and again. Thiamine Deficiency is another that NO ONE knows to look at, but it’s there. Remember, these are INTRACELLULAR deficiencies, not just blood serum levels. You have to Dig Deep to get the root of the issue.

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.

For those who think I’m “alternative” or “on the edge,” let me clarify: I’m a Western-trained physician focused on root causes. I dive into genetics and vitamin deficiencies because they are grounded in science. Using intracellular vitamin panels and the latest research, I identify deficiencies and address them with the right versions of supplements. I love what I do and am here to help! Read my reviews, and thank you for trusting me.
