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.

MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets

In the description

MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets If you have an MTHFR variant (C677T or A1298C), you may constantly battle fatigue, sugar cravings, and energy crashes — even when you’re “doing everything right.” In this video, we break down exactly why this happens: How MTHFR/methylation issues impair ATP (energy) production at the cellular level Why your body desperately reaches for quick glucose The vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes → insulin crashes → more cravings & fat storage The downstream effects on antioxidants, DNA repair, and overall energy How to finally break the cycle: Targeted supplementation that fills methylation “holes” (what we learned from 15–20k intracellular tests) Why our MTHFR Daily multivitamin was specifically formulated for this The power of CMA intracellular testing Intermittent fasting (12–16 hrs) Fasted cardio (even just a brisk walk) High-protein, real-food diet with minimal processed sugars If you’re tired of the sugar rollercoaster and want stable energy, this is for you.

How To Know If You Have High Homocysteine?

In the description

High homocysteine often shows up first as widespread inflammation—pain all over, poor circulation, or even early warning signs of cardiovascular problems like stroke and heart attack. The best way to know for sure is through testing: a blood test can measure homocysteine directly, while a CMA with Redox uncovers the vitamin deficiencies driving it. For genetic causes, the DRP Genetics panel screens 15–16 of the 17 known SNPs that can cause permanently high homocysteine. If your levels are fixed by genetics, reduced glutathione and targeted B vitamins (like MTHFR Daily) are key to balancing the
