I have several #1 books on Amazon™ bringing new patients into my practice as I use a step-wise approach. What do I mean by ‘step-wise’? I recently attended an education conference on testosterone pellets and their surgical placement since we occasionally use them with certain patients. This conference was interesting because vendors were selling pellets from various pharmacies and to them everyone needed pellets . After a while I just started to chuckle and tell my partner, Dr. Kimball Crofts, that when you’re selling hammers, everything’s a nail. The How to cross a river test I once took a te

Dr. Purser teaches FADS genes as a conversion pathway. FADS1 participates in a delta-5 desaturase step in fatty-acid metabolism. This is wh…
FOLH1 helps break down folate from food so it can be absorbed. This is different from the MTHFR step.

Best match puts all-term matches before partial matches and related reading. Identical social posts and matching long titles across other sources are grouped when access is the same. Search covers published titles, descriptions, available article text, report overviews, and the full text of the nutrient, gene and learning-essential reference pages. Books, uploaded chapters and downloads-page reports are searchable through selected editorial guides and topic names; the original files and full book text are not published. Full Drive reports are not copied into search. Substack subscriber titles and public summaries are included; full subscriber content opens on Substack. Video transcripts are added when available.
