Let’s explore “MTHFR”

Most chronic inflammation, gut issues, and detox problems aren’t aging or bad luck — they’re methylation disorders your doctor probably ignores. MTHFR and homocysteine matter more than mainstream medicine admits, and the research is about t

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

PURSER WELLNESSWhat Is Genetic Testing?A conversation with Dr. Purser

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.

Glutathione is called the “master antioxidant” because it protects every cell in your body from oxidative damage, supports detox, and reduces inflammation. People with high homocysteine or MTHFR gene variants often can’t recycle glutathione

Your body’s ability to detox depends on one critical pathway—turning homocysteine into glutathione. But for millions with MTHFR or other genetic SNPs, this process is broken, leaving them vulnerable to toxins, inflammation, and cytokine sto

What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with thi

Genetic SNPs are tiny changes in your DNA that can drastically affect how well your enzymes and proteins work. For example, being homozygous for MTHFR C677T leaves that enzyme functioning at only about 30% efficiency, which can drain your e

PURSER WELLNESSTired all the time? Are you Overmethylating?A conversation with Dr. Purser

😴 Feel like you took 3 Dramamine but all you had was a vitamin? You might be overmethylating—especially if you're taking too much MTHFR support like methylated B vitamins. If you’re drowsy, foggy, or exhausted, it’s time to back off, not push through. Try dropping to 1 capsule of MTHFR Daily and adjust slowly. Your body will thank you.

🚨 High homocysteine isn’t just a lab number—it’s a warning sign. Genes like MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, and GGH can overactivate the methylation cycle and lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, which drives inflammation, stroke risk, and even kidney failure.

Why do CMA tests matter so much? Because they check what’s going on inside your cells, not just your blood. 🧬 At Purser Wellness, we use CMA + genetic data (like MTHFR, PEMT, etc.) to spot the root of fatigue, inflammation, and more—then bu
