The Purser genetics reference places CHDH in choline metabolism, while the combined SOP asks clinicians to consider CHDH alongside PEMT and FADS findings.
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.

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.

Dr. Purser shares the benefits of fasting in everyday life. Have you ever tried a 72-hour fast? The benefits of fasting include reduction of premalignant stem cells and chance of cancer. Learn why cancer cells require glucose and how fasting reduces lipids and inflammation. Dr. Purser also discusses the need for careful monitoring of diabetic patients who choose to fast. Learn about precautions of fasting and the need to intake fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and medications. Contact us at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com for help.

Thyroid health remains essential during menopause. Optimal labs should show FT3 around 4.0 and FT4 near 1.5, and testing through Direct Labs makes it easy to track. Supporting with supplements like Thyromin can help, but only if guided by accurate lab results.

Wow I see all this almost every day in my office -- same exact thyroid related medical issues/complaints. After ten years of endocrinology research and 33 years in practice, I've concluded that a lot of my fellow doctors weren't really taught the nuances of thyroid care. Those include how patients need levels optimized, or how to really listen to patient's symptoms (and treat accordingly), and which labs to get at what time. So, I always tell patients to believe their ‘lying eyes’ (their symptoms are real), and not always the lab results (which can be inaccurate or not interpreted correctly).
