Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) often flares when oxidative stress is high, pushing mast cells to release histamine and inflammatory cytokines. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is your body’s first defense against that stress—neutralizing su

PURSER WELLNESSCan You Treat Thyroid During Menopause?A conversation with Dr. Purser

Thyroid health remains essential during menopause. Optimal labs should show FT3 around 4.0 and FT4 near 1.5, and testing through Direct Labs makes it easy to track. Supporting with supplements like Thyromin can help, but only if guided by accurate lab results.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat are the ROOT CAUSES of you symptoms?A conversation with Dr. Purser

🧬 After 15+ years deep in genetics, Dr. Purser sees two root causes over and over again: 1️⃣ Inflammation 2️⃣ Gut & liver dysfunction. Almost every chronic issue—including fibromyalgia, fatigue, and brain fog—ties back to 17 homocysteine SNPs or PEMT mutations. That’s why he built treatment guides, books, and the CMA + Redox + genetic testing combo. If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still feel awful, this is where to look next.

PURSER WELLNESSWhat is the true harm of high homocysteine?A conversation with Dr. Purser

🚨 Homocysteine might be the most dangerous thing your doctor isn’t checking. It’s been linked to kidney failure, dialysis, hypertension, strokes, heart attacks, melanoma, and renal cancer. But it’s not the homocysteine itself—it’s the cytokines it triggers, like IL-8 and MCP-1, that do the damage. And if you’ve got any of the 17 key genetic SNPs, you’re at serious risk. You may not be able to lower homocysteine directly—but you can shut down those cytokines with the right nutrients and VARS Glutathione.
