Discover how a common genetic variant in the PEMT gene can block your body’s ability to make phosphatidylcholine — leading to chronic pancreatitis, even if you’ve never touched alcohol.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) often flares when oxidative stress is high, pushing mast cells to release histamine and inflammatory cytokines. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is your body’s first defense against that stress—neutralizing su

Happy Halloween from me and Denise! 🎃👻 Denise is rocking Snow White while I’m channeling my inner cowboy, but the real magic happens when you book a CMA Consult with me. That’s the ultimate trick-or-treat for your health—no sugar crash, ju

Loss of libido and muscle in menopause often points to low testosterone. Supporting with PD 80/20 (pregnenolone and DHEA) or its cream version, Pregnenolone Plus, can help restore testosterone levels naturally, improving energy and intimacy

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs Info: http://www.DanPurserMD.com Supplements: https://www.PhysicianDesigned.com Books: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00BIKSGVQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danpursermd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhysicianDesigned Twitter: https://twitter.com/realdanpursermd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/danpursermd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danpurser.md Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/danpursermd

When Justace first had CMA testing done, Dr. Purser told him he was malnourished—even though he was a young athlete eating constantly. The results showed real deficiencies that explained why he struggled to gain and maintain weight. After following Dr. Purser’s protocol, he not only put on healthy weight more easily but no longer had to force himself to eat as much. He now encourages others, especially younger people, to get tested early to avoid genetic breakdowns later in life.

Do Your Genes Cause Vitamin Deficiencies? Here’s the Truth.

Patients often ask if they should stop supplements before an intracellular CMA test, and the answer is no. The test measures nutrient status inside your cells over the last 90–100 days, so stopping vitamins right before won’t change the results. At most, you might skip your dose a few hours before the draw, but it’s not necessary—CMA still provides an accurate snapshot of your nutrient levels while you’re on your current routine.

Genetic testing has only been around for about 20 years, since the Human Genome Project made it possible to identify thousands of SNPs (gene variations) linked to disease and health issues. While gene editing with tools like CRISPR may be a future reality, for now the best way to “work around” your genes is by supplementing with the right vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. That’s exactly what the DRP Genetics test does—focusing on SNPs like MTHFR, PEMT, and others tied to homocysteine, gut, and brain health—so you can take preventative steps against even serious conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s.

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. Specialize

Dr. Purser and Justace Woodward explain how their backgrounds blend two worlds: Justace’s experience as a critical care paramedic brings the speed and precision of western emergency medicine, while Dr. Purser’s practice focuses on natural, functional approaches that address long-term health. Together, they’ve seen that western medicine is unmatched in emergencies, but for ongoing care and prevention, functional medicine offers patients the best path forward.
