Meet Justace Woodward, one of Utahs top ICU paramedics and a certified member of the Purser Wellness team. Justice brings flight-level critical care to the ground, responding to severe emergencies and supporting inter-facility transports. H…

Scurvy may sound like a relic of the past, but this physician is still diagnosing it today. Nutrition gaps, restrictive diets, and heavily processed foods can leave people with bleeding gums, chronic fatigue, unexplained pain, bruising, and…

Does methyl B12 actually trigger your histamine reactions? Most people never question their supplements — but they should. If methyl B12 leaves you anxious, wired, fatigued, or feeling like your old symptoms suddenly came roaring back, you …

Insulin Resistance Isn’t About Too Little Insulin Most people with type 2 diabetes produce plenty of insulin—the issue is that it can’t get into the cells. When vitamin and nutrient deficiencies develop over time, the insulin receptors stop…

Years ago, I watched cystic fibrosis (CF) patients receive nebulized glutathione that didn’t seem to help. Decades later, our team developed and patented the first fully functional, reduced, and stable form — VARS Glutathione. Why does thi…

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 f…

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 res…

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…

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 a…

High homocysteine signals a broken transsulfuration pathway, leaving you unable to detox or convert it into glutathione. This shows up in conditions like PCOS and fibromyalgia, where patients often struggle with inflammation, pain, and even…

Copper is essential for life—it helps enzymes work, supports SOD1 for antioxidant defense, and even prepares iron to carry oxygen in the blood. But when copper builds up in the bloodstream instead of entering cells, it causes pain, tender p…

Homocysteine is a natural molecule your body makes, but when levels get too high it drives massive inflammation by triggering cytokine release. For some people, genetics or deficiencies cause a “fixed homocysteine rate,” meaning diet and vi…
