What is Intracellular Testing?

In the description

Intracellular testing, or the CMA Cellular Micronutrient Assay, measures over 100 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants inside your cells—not just in your blood. Unlike serum tests, which show short-term levels, intracellular testing reveals what your cells have been missing over the last 100 days. Low levels can mean weak enzymes, non-functioning proteins, and accelerated aging. By identifying deficiencies and matching them with the correct nutrient forms for your genetics, you can target fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other chronic issues at the root. Get your CMA by calling o

MTHFR C677T Symptoms & The Methylation Paradox: What Your Doctor Missed

In the description

If you’ve been struggling with severe chronic fatigue, unexplained anxiety, or cardiovascular red flags, your genes might be trying to tell you something. Millions of patients walk out of traditional clinics with normal blood tests, only to be told their crippling symptoms are "all in their head." If you carry the C677T variant, you aren't crazy—you are dealing with a breakdown in cellular biochemistry. The Problem With Synthetic Folic Acid The standard advice from standard doctors is to take synthetic folic acid. For someone with the C677T genetic mutation, this is disastrous. Your enzyme pat

OVER-METHYLATION - Are Your B Vitamins Hurting You?

In the description

Can the B vitamins you are taking to support energy and methylation eventually make you feel worse? In this video, Jackson Larkin explains what practitioners often call “overmethylation,” a possible adverse response to supplemental methyl donors such as: • 5-MTHF or methylfolate • Methylcobalamin • Trimethylglycine, also called TMG • Multiple overlapping methylation formulas Possible warning signs can include irritability, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, and feeling “wired but tired.” These symptoms do not prove that you are overmethylated. They can have many possible causes. The timing of symptoms, your total supplement exposure, nutrient status, genetics, medications, and health history all need to be considered. In this video, we discuss: • Why methylation is essential • How methyl-donor supplements support the body • Why the right vitamin can become the wrong dose • Ingredients to look for on your supplement labels • Why some people may need lower doses or non-methylated forms • How genetics and intracellular nutrient testing can guide a more personalized plan At Purser Wellness, we believe in a Start Low, Go Slow approach. The goal is not to eliminate methylation. The goal is to provide the right form and amount of support for each individual.
