What’s searchable?MTHFR is one of the most studied genetic SNPs, with the two main variants being C677T and A1298C. These changes reduce the body’s ability to process folate and make energy, leaving people exhausted and deficient in key nutrients. Specialized folates, B12 forms, and glutathione can bypass the blockages, and products like MTHFR Daily were designed specifically to fill these nutrient gaps so patients can restore energy and thrive.
What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with this pathway.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Struggling with high blood pressure that just won’t budge—even with multiple meds? It might be due to genetic issues causing high homocysteine , which can stiffen your arteries through IL-8 and MCP-1 cytokines.
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.
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.
