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

Two big genetic problems I see all the time 👇 - Inflammation (homocysteine, PEMT) - Gut & liver issues (SIBO, colitis, diarrhea) Sometimes people have both… and it’s brutal. Genetics might not be the answer to everything— but it’s the start

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs Info: http://www.DanPurserMD.com Supplements: https://www.PhysicianDesigned.com Books: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00BIKSGVQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danpursermd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicianDesigned Twitter: https://twitter.com/realdanpursermd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/danpursermd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danpurser.md Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/danpursermd

High homocysteine signals a broken transsulfuration pathway, leaving you unable to detox or convert it into glutathione. This shows up in conditions like PCOS and fibromyalgia, where patients often struggle with inflammation, pain, and even

CMA testing shows what nutrients are inside your cells, not just floating in your blood, giving a true picture of deficiencies. When combined with Redox, it also tracks inflammation markers and oxidative stress—giving a full view of your he

Homocysteine is a natural molecule your body makes, but when levels get too high it drives massive inflammation by triggering cytokine release. For some people, genetics or deficiencies cause a “fixed homocysteine rate,” meaning diet and vitamins alone won’t lower it. In those cases, the only real way to balance it is by supporting the pathway that converts homocysteine into glutathione. That’s why reduced, stable glutathione—like VARS Glutathione—is essential, because most products are oxidized and useless by the time you take them.

Glutathione is called the “master antioxidant” because it protects every cell in your body from oxidative damage, supports detox, and reduces inflammation. People with high homocysteine or MTHFR gene variants often can’t recycle glutathione

A low copper diet focuses on cutting back foods naturally high in copper—like nuts, seeds, chocolate, avocados, and shellfish—because too much copper can build up in the body when certain genes prevent proper regulation. For people with fibromyalgia, migraines, or chronic inflammation, reducing copper intake while supporting balance with nutrients like zinc, boron, molybdenum, and glutathione can make a dramatic difference in symptoms and overall health.
