Hi, I’m Dr. Dan Purser. For too long, autism has been treated as a mystery with only symptom management. In this episode, I break down what I’ve seen consistently in practice: the real root cause behind many cases on the spectrum.
It starts with genetic variants (especially MTHFR and related SNPs) that break the transsulfuration pathway. When kids can’t efficiently convert homocysteine into glutathione, they lose their ability to detox heavy metals and environmental toxins. The result is chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and developmental challenges.
The good news? Once we identify these biochemical and genetic imbalances through proper testing, we can intervene at the root with targeted support — restoring methylation, rebuilding glutathione function, and giving the body what it needs to heal.
This isn’t theory. It’s the Purser Method® in action.
If you’re a parent searching for real answers instead of just labels, this episode is for you. The root cause has been solved. Now let’s talk solutions.
👋 Ever stared at your lab results and thought, “What am I even looking at here?”
We hear that all the time with our CMA with Redox testing. Patients get TWO pages of results, and without a clear explanation it can feel overwhelming.

Dr. Purser explains how certain environmental chemicals can trigger major inflammatory events in infants and young children—events that may contribute to autism in some cases.
Kicking off the 'What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Progesterone' series, Dr. Purser goes through the top ten causes of low progesterone in women! What could cause a deficiency and how can you help treat it? As always, Dr. Purser looks for root causes issues to help them and not just apply 'band-aid' treatments.

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.

Dr. Purser was recently ranked the #1 MD in the entire USA based on over 1,000 five-star Google and online reviews. He credits this recognition to his dedicated team, innovative approach, and focus on truly helping patients get better. What started as being top-rated in Utah has now grown into a national—and even global—title he’s proud to share with his patients.

🚨 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.
