Let’s explore “DHEA-S”

PURSER WELLNESSWhat Happens If You Have A Gene SNP?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Genetic SNPs are tiny changes in your DNA that can drastically affect how well your enzymes and proteins work. For example, being homozygous for MTHFR C677T leaves that enzyme functioning at only about 30% efficiency, which can drain your energy and impair folate processing. Similarly, errors in SOD genes reduce your body’s ability to neutralize free radicals. While we can’t change your genes, we can work around them by identifying these weaknesses and filling the gaps with targeted nutrition and supplementation—helping your body function closer to its full potential.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat is the BEST Genetic Test To Get??A conversation with Dr. Purser

Not all genetic tests are created equal. Many only scratch the surface, while the best panels look at hundreds of SNPs that impact methylation, detox, hormones, and nutrient absorption. For real results, you need a test that’s private, comprehensive, and clinically useful—like the ones we recommend in practice that help guide targeted treatment plans.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat Makes A Functional Glutathione?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Most glutathione supplements fail because they break down before your body can use them. VARS Glutathione is different—it’s patented, validated, and proven to raise real intracellular glutathione levels. That means it actually works to calm inflammation, lower cytokines, and protect your cells where it matters most.

PURSER WELLNESSThe Real Problem With CT Scans?A conversation with Dr. Purser

While CT scans are sometimes necessary, the radiation exposure they create can cause oxidative damage in the body. That’s why antioxidants like glutathione are so important—when taken in a validated, reduced form, they help detox and protect against the harmful effects of scans, heavy metals, and chemicals like gadolinium. Dr. Purser’s VARS Glutathione and Nayan Patel’s topical Glutaryl formulas are the only patented, validated glutathiones proven to actually work at this level, helping patients recover quickly from oxidative stress.

PURSER WELLNESSBe Wary Of Glutathione Product Claims!A conversation with Dr. Purser

Many skincare and supplement companies throw around the word “glutathione,” but most of their products don’t actually deliver meaningful amounts—or the right form. For example, a popular serum claims anywhere from 50,000 ppm to just 500 ppm glutathione, which would equal almost nothing per bottle. On top of that, most products use oxidized glutathione, which doesn’t work in the body. That’s what makes VARS Glutathione different—it stays in its reduced, functional form all the way until your cells use it, giving you a real therapeutic dose that actually works.

PURSER WELLNESSEBV and Fibromyalgia Related??A conversation with Dr. Purser

Just because you have EBV antibodies doesn’t mean it’s active—it usually means you’ve built immunity. The real issue? Most fibromyalgia patients have low reduced glutathione, which viruses like EBV intentionally suppress. That’s why symptoms overlap: fatigue, pain, immune dysfunction. Fix the glutathione issue, and you can support recovery on a deeper level.

PURSER WELLNESSTreat Root Cause Symptoms?A conversation with Dr. Purser

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.

PURSER WELLNESSThe Struggle of HomocysteineA conversation with Dr. Purser

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.

PURSER WELLNESSHomocysteine is the Secret AssasinA conversation with Dr. Purser

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.

PURSER WELLNESSGlutathione for Wound Healing? Yes!A conversation with Dr. Purser

Let’s talk about something uncomfortable but important—anal fissures, especially in people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. These painful tears can extend deep and cause debilitating discomfort. Historically, treatments haven’t worked well… until now.

PURSER WELLNESSPC can save your gut??A conversation with Dr. Purser

Phosphatidylcholine has emerged as a groundbreaking therapeutic agent in managing inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Scientific studies over the past decade, including major publications like Annals of Internal Medicine and Digital Digest, have consistently highlighted its efficacy and safety.

PURSER WELLNESSHeal the Gut by Addressing One Genetic Error?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The Missing Link? Did you know there’s a genetic condition, PEMT, that may be a major factor in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis? If you have it, your body struggles to produce phosphatidylcholine, a critical compound for gut and liver health. Research shows supplementing with phosphatidylcholine and glutathione can make a huge difference in managing these conditions.
