Let’s explore “Blood-vessel health: genetics, metabolism, and measured risk”

A episode from Purser Wellness on Substack, covering energy and metabolism.

Many young athletes aren’t burning out from training—they’re crashing because of hidden micronutrient deficiencies that standard blood tests never detect. Intracellular testing can reveal why performance, strength, and recovery suddenly dec

Two big genetic problems I see all the time 👇 - Inflammation (homocysteine, PEMT) - Gut & liver issues (SIBO, colitis, diarrhea) Sometimes people have both… and it’s brutal. Genetics might not be the answer to everything— but it’s the start

PURSER WELLNESSGe Gene SNPs Cause Vitamin Deficiencies?A conversation with Dr. Purser

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

A post from Purser Wellness on Substack, covering inflammation and antioxidants, energy and metabolism, pain and wellbeing.

PURSER WELLNESSWhy are PEMT Gene SNPs Important To Know About?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Dr. Purser and Justace discuss how genetics often reveal two major patterns in patients: either serious gut and liver issues like SIBO, pancreatitis, or colitis, or inflammatory problems tied to homocysteine and PEMT mutations. Sometimes patients suffer from both, which can lead to severe long-term complications like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. While genetics isn’t the full answer, it provides critical insight into why these problems develop and how to intervene early.

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.

PURSER WELLNESSCopper Overload In Body - What Can You Do?A conversation with Dr. Purser

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 points, and migraines. This often ties back to genes like CBS, NAT2, and glutathione-related SNPs that impair copper transport. The solution is supporting ceruloplasmin—the copper-binding protein—with targeted nutrients like B6, zinc, and NAC. That’s why Copper Balance was created: to move copper where it belongs and help symptoms finally improve. Visit PhysicianDesigned.com or Amazon for Copper Balance.

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
