I’m excited to bring you a new video. I know it’s been quite a while since I was able to publish one. All I can say is it’s been an amazing year and we’ve been super busy with lots of growth in our practice and personally as well. But I hope to refocus on…
It is a mind-blowing fact that 40% of our DNA is considered “parasitic” DNA. This non-human DNA, which occupies 40% of our entire genetic code, comes from viruses and bacteria which implanted their genes into our DNA. I can’t say I am excited about the idea of having bug residue in my genetic code.…
Introduction Many people who are looking at their genetics are often motivated by the problem of depression. Of course like many common health problems depression is now a big business in our society. Pharmaceutical companies rake in billions of dollars producing drugs to try and treat this problem. Unfortunately in the vast majority of…
I meet patients every day who have a good diet, but they are not getting better. Despite their healthy diet and avoidance of many foods, they are unable to sleep better, lose weight, increase their energy and simply feel good. This often happens because their digestive system and their brain gets shut down by…
Have you ever heard that we eat first with our eyes? Its true! The sight of food activates a series of neurological reflexes and pathways that primes our system for digestion. However just looking at food is not enough to digest it; we actually need to get all those nutrients inside the body. Most…
In the world of methylation and genetic testing things can become complicated very quickly. I speak to patients on a daily basis who are more confused after they did their genetic test than they were before. What we are seeing are thousands of patients testing their genetics to find the answers to their health challenge,…
Good Morning, Today I am posting two published research articles about methylation that I have written in the last couple of years. The first article is called Methylation and the Physical Exam. It describes what to look for on the outside of the body if you suspect someone has a methylation problem. I would also…
Ever heard of Methylation? Its okay if you never have…most doctors haven’t either! It is a big subject and connects the dots between your genes, the environment, and why some people get sick with chronic diseases and others don’t.
Have you ever wondered how to find out if someone has a methylation problem? Well you have probably heard to doing saliva or blood tests to see which genes a person was born with. And that is certainly one way to figure out if someone has a methylation problem. Tests like that are valuable…
Phenotypes vs. Genotypes In order to understand methylation problems, we need to clarify the differences between genotype and phenotype. When we talk about genotype we are speaking about nothing more than the unique set of genes you inherited – the one half from your mother and the other half from your father. These genes you…
