If you've been tested and already know you have MTG4, how do you know where to start? Get in or vitamin testing. I really don't care what genetic issues you have. Well, I kind of do it, but I mean, you'll care more than I do, obviously. But my job is to get you feeling normal. And those vitamin deficiencies show up in one major way. Usually, it's it
sorry, those genetic snips show up in one major way. I already gave it away. It's vitamin deficiencies. Interested deficiencies. N 99% of them are caused by genetic snips. That's how they damage you. That's how they caused you problems. That's how your ancestors died
early because they got horribly malnourished and died from that genetic stuff. So, say they can't get vitamin testing right now, would it be okay to start on like MTHR renew or MTH? Yeah, if they think they have it. Yeah. Yeah. Like if they know they have MTHR, then those and so if you have like like I saw a lady this week with 29 SNIPS. Oh, good
lord. That broke her record. um she need like two or three are new and like seven to 10 endure a day a day to read that many. That's ridiculous, but it's the way it is. If you want to feel normal and if you um if you have like 13 or 14 uh like your mom had um you need she
took one or two Renew and five or six endure for years. Now she's on like four endure. She finally cut got rid of the Renew. I'm on one endure. Yeah. Mhm. It works and people vary. Yeah, that's exactly the point. It takes time. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz you're compound hetererozygous, right?
I think so. Yeah. And I'm 71. So I take half of a tiny vine, which is a fourth of an in what I take. But but no, taking it felt horrible.
