Introduction Optimizing methylation pathways means going further than just deciding how much B12 or folate a person needs. Seeking to optimize methylation pathways means you must go far beyond just looking at MTHFR and see all the genes and biochemicals that are impacting our health. And we cannot optimize genes without understanding how our…
Everyone has felt the negative effects of stress in their lives, yet not everyone responds to stress in the same way. While our life experience has a great deal of influence on our perception of stress, certain genes make us more or less sensitive to stress. One big reason why stress affects each of…

Are you tired or toxic? That is a fair question since many symptoms of toxic overload are commonly mislabeled as digestive issues, insomnia, chronic fatigue or even allergies. Our bodies can detoxify the pollutants that exist in our modern world. But in order to do that, our nutrition, our biochemistry, and our methylation pathways…
One of the best parts of researching methylation is meeting people who ask very good questions. One very good question came up the other day about MAO-A and whether or not it was sped up or slowed down. This question is important considering how much impact the MAO system has on how we handle stress…
