Podcasts about Methylation

In this episode, I break down the results of my Smart Nutrition methylation and nutrigenomics test — and how it's helped me finally understand the root cause of my inflammation, energy crashes, IBS symptoms, and persistent neck and eye issues. I share my exact results, including key gene variations like MTHFR, CBS, COMT, MAOA, and SOD2, and how these are impacting my: – Stress response and emotional regulation – Ability to clear toxins, sulphur, and ammonia – Digestion, sleep, and protein metabolism – Histamine sensitivity and inflammation Based on my profile, I'm now supplementing with: – Methylated B-complex (B12, B2, B6, 5-MTHF) – Buffered vitamin C – Choline (350mg with each main meal) – Glycine powder (with every protein meal) – Dicalcium Malate (to support mineral balance and inflammation control) – Omega-3 DHA/EPA – Magnesium glycinate (evening) – Marine collagen (evening) – Liposomal glutathione – Quercetin (for histamine and eye/neck inflammation) I'm also following a low FODMAP, ketogenic-style diet, spacing my protein evenly across the day, and using cold exposure and vagal tone exercises for nervous system support.

Being exhausted every day is not normal. Not the “I need a little nap” kind of tired. I'm talking about the kind of exhaustion where: You can't do the grocery store + make dinner in the same day. Folding a load of laundry feels like climbing a mountain. You cancel plans (again) because you just can't. And when you bring it up? You get told: “Maybe you're just stressed.” “It's just getting older” "That's just part of being a woman.  No. You are not crazy for feeling this way. And you deserve answers. Your energy levels are the result of so many pieces working together behind the scenes. When even one gets thrown off, your whole system feels it. Here's what I always recommend looking at when women tell me they're this tired: Dutch Test — my favorite starting point. It gives a deep dive into your: Cortisol levels throughout the day (a huge player in energy) Estrogen, progesterone & androgens (hello stamina + muscle strength) B vitamin markers & nutrient levels Methylation process (how your body actually uses what you give it) Iron Levels — one of the most common deficiencies in women, especially if you've been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel awful. Thyroid Panel — because a “normal” result doesn't mean optimal, and your thyroid is everything for your metabolism, mood, and energy. Sometimes even inflammatory markers or other custom labs depending on what your Dutch test reveals. Why a Dutch Test over everything else? Because it shows the full picture. Not just one hormone. Not just one level. It helps us see the why behind your exhaustion so we can fix it at the source. I can't tell you how many women I've worked with who were taking B vitamins or iron and still felt like garbage — because they weren't addressing their cortisol patterns, methylation issues, or the fact they weren't even absorbing their supplements properly. You don't need more guesswork. You need strategy. This is exactly what we do in the 6 Month Female Hormone Solution.  ✨ Registration is open right now — but only to the waitlist.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Diane: Greetings Dr. Cabral, I have been using the DNS powder for quite some time, however I found through taking the IGG Food Sensitivity test that I'm pretty sensitive to peas, certain beans, lentils, hemp hearts and other food sources. I noticed the DNS powder has yellow pea protein, not green pea protein and wondered if because of this I should refrain from using the powder and go directly to the Multi's instead? I very much enjoy my daily morning shakes but don't wish to add to the sensitivity problem. Thank you for any advice you can lend.                                                                                        Kim: I am a 54 year old female diagnosed with empty sella, idiopathic intercranial hypertension, and central apnea. Are there things that I can do to help myself naturally? Prescribed medications were not good for my kidneys. Currently waiting to see if my kidney function recovers . Thank you Kim                                                                                               John: Hey doc. I took the heavy metal test and was high in mercury and lead. I've been using the Therasage sauna you recommended 3 days a week for 30 minutes for about 2 years so I was surprised my numbers were high. I ordered the heavy metal detox and I wanted to know if I should stop taking your balanced zinc and hair support while on the detox . Thanks for all the great work you and your team is doing                                                       Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do to help people restore and maintain their health. I've been struggling with persistent fatigue and exhaustion for the past 10 years. No matter how much sleep I get, I'm always tired. I've done a 21 day and a 7 day FM detox which have made me feel better in other areas, but the fatigue persists. Do you have any chronic fatigue specific protocols or suggestions?                                                                                                                               Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral I like the idea of a smoothie for breakfast full of 100% of my vitamins and minerals. However, I am an over methylater and tend to get hyper and anxious from the DNS. Is there any way I can still take it (perhaps anything I could take alongside) and avoid these symptoms apart from just lower the amount as I feel 1/2 to 1/4 scoop isn't enough to make a smoothie palatable. I've found better results taking folate as folinic acid and B12 as adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin. I'm sure it's not profitable to make a DNS with non methylated b vitamins since this won't affect most people.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager at NOW Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Decoding Detox: The Science and Application of Detoxification with Neil Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager at NOW Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. They delve into the importance of detox in addressing environmental toxins through reducing exposure and enhancing resilience. Key detoxification pathways, including liver phases, antioxidants, glutathione, and methylation, are thoroughly examined. Neil Levin also touches upon issues in the supplement industry, stressing the importance of using reliable sources. Additionally, he shares insights into his advocacy work and emerging trends in supplement research. This episode provides crucial information on how certain supplements can support the body's natural detox processes.

Methylation imbalance and the causative factors leading to methylation imbalance, like the MTHFR gene mutation, show themselves in four distinct personality types. These methylation personality types, methylation archetypes, or MTHFR personalities are called The Achiever, The Athlete, The Activist, and The Artist.The Activist and The Artist are very closely linked. Neither are terribly ambitious or driven, except in the thing that matters to them, whether it's their art, their job (which might not be art or activism), or the cause that matters to them. Both tend to have fewer allergic-type reactions but are more likely to have food sensitivities or chemical sensitivities. Things like wheat sensitivity, soy sensitivity, rashes with the wrong laundry detergent, or headaches after smelling perfume. Both of these personalities thrive on leftovers and fermented foods, even though leftovers and fermented foods are high in histamine.These two personality types also tend to react predictably to supplements, nutrients, and even pharmaceutical drugs. Anything that boosts serotonin, so SSRI medications, St. John's Wort, and melatonin aren't great for these groups. Likewise, the major methyl donors like SAMe, TMG, and DMG are typically not well tolerated by the artist and the activist. Conversely, these groups usually do very well with good sources of folate, like L-5MTHF, food-sourced folate, or folinic acid. Like all people with methylation imbalance, folic acid should not be taken because it can make methylation imbalances worse. Also, the benzodiazepine class of pharmaceuticals is usually well tolerated (although your doctor knows the best choice of pharmaceuticals for you, and your doctor's information is always more informed and correct for you than ours.)Thanks so much for watching today!

Many people believe that breast cancer is primarily caused by genetics, but did you know that only 5-10% of cases are linked to inherited mutations like BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2? The truth is, your overall health and risk of recurrence are influenced by key biological processes such as detoxification, methylation, and inflammation—and these are things you can actively support with your nutrition and lifestyle choices. In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, I break down how these processes impact your health, how to recognize the signs of imbalance in your body, and why a low-carbohydrate diet can be a powerful tool in regulating glucose, insulin, and inflammation. I also explain why nutrition isn't about restriction—it's about giving your body the support it needs to function at its best. You'll learn:✔️ Why genetics are only part of the breast cancer risk equation✔️ How detoxification, methylation, and inflammation work together to protect your body✔️ Common signs that these processes may not be working efficiently✔️ How blood sugar regulation impacts detox, inflammation, and cancer risk✔️ How a low-carb, nutrient-dense diet supports healing and reduces recurrence risk✔️ Simple, actionable steps to support your body's detox, inflammation, and methylation pathways This episode will empower you to understand your unique genetic blueprint and how to make lifestyle changes that align with your body's needs. It's not about fear—it's about taking control of your health and making choices that truly support healing. Resources & Links:

Imagine detecting cancer with just a single drop of blood. In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, host Freddie Kimmel engages in a compelling conversation with Dr. Joshua Routh, MD, a distinguished expert in pathology and molecular oncology. Dr. Routh serves as the Laboratory Director for high-complexity clinical laboratories and holds the position of Associate Professor of Pathology at Midwestern University. He is also the Medical Director for Precision Epigenomics Inc., where he focuses on multi-cancer early detection tests.Together, they examine the science behind EPISEEK, discussing how it analyzes epigenetic markers in the blood to identify potential cancer signals. The conversation covers the importance of methylation in gene expression, the emotional implications of cancer testing, and who should consider getting tested. Dr. Routh emphasizes the need for patient autonomy and informed decision-making in the context of cancer screening. They also explore the advancements in multi-cancer early detection tests, focusing on the technology behind EPISEEK, its cost, and the current lack of insurance coverage. The discussion touches on the implications of abnormal test results, the importance of patient-doctor collaboration, and the need for a holistic approach to health that includes lifestyle factors. Additionally, they discuss the strengths and limitations of current cancer detection technologies and the importance of comprehensive health monitoring.Highlights1:32 Introduction: Personal Reflections on the Importance of Early Cancer Detection3:05 Understanding EpiSeek: A Breakthrough in Liquid Biopsy Technology for Cancer Detection5:40 The Science of EpiSeek: How It Works to Detect Cancer Early8:14 The Role of Methylation in Gene Expression and Its Link to Cancer Growth10:42 Gene Expression and Epigenetics: Why They Matter in Cancer Screening13:20 Interpreting Test Results: What to Do After Receiving an Abnormal Finding16:35 Who Should Get Tested?

In our discussion, we elucidate the significance of methylation, particularly in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the population—estimated at around 40%—possesses genetic variants that may adversely affect this essential process. Drawing from personal experiences and clinical observations, I highlight how disruptions in methylation can manifest as fatigue, mood swings, and chronic inflammation. Furthermore, we explore the intricate relationship between methylation and hormonal balance, particularly concerning estrogen and testosterone metabolism, underscoring the potential implications for overall health. Through this episode, we aim to provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of methylation, its critical roles, and actionable strategies for optimization to enhance well-being.

Could the right form of a single vitamin be the difference between thriving and barely surviving? In this Part 2 conversation, human biologist and longevity expert Gary Brecka reveals the #1 overlooked factor that's wrecking your health: methylation—your body's ability to convert nutrients into fuel. If this process fails, your hormones, energy, and even mental health take a nosedive. Gary and Dave dive deep into the real cause of anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders, the hidden genetic reason why diets fail, and why Big Pharma isn't talking about this critical health breakthrough. Are you unknowingly setting yourself up for disease? What's the simple fix that can reverse anxiety, gut problems, and even prevent genetic disease? And why is your doctor ignoring one of the biggest markers of longevity?

Methylation imbalance, often caused by the MTHFR gene mutation, by folic acid excess, or by nutritional deficiencies, shows itself in several personality traits. Some personality traits are common to people with methylation dysfunction, like perfectionism, OCD-tendencies, anxiety, hyper-focus or hypo-focus, and others. These common traits emerge in each methylation archetype pattern in slightly different ways, and by using your personality to determine your methylation archetype, you can benefit by getting general guidelines about supplements and even prescription medications that might work for you.

Recently, an interview by Christiane Amanpour caught my attention. It was with Coralie Fargiat, the director of “The Substance.” Though I haven't seen this 2024 body horror movie (nor do I intend to), the story brings up several teaching points about the left brain, undermethylation, neuroplasticity, and our collective obsession with beauty.The movie is about an actress, Elizabeth, who loses her job hosting a fitness television show when she turns fifty. She has “aged out.” While in the hospital after a car accident, someone directs her to a product - the substance - a neon green liquid that will allow her to bud off a younger version of herself - Sue. The rule is that Sue can only go out into the world for one week at a time, alternating each week with Elizabeth while the other lies dormant. Not surprisingly, Sue has more advantages in the world (that Elizabeth inhabits), including replacing Elizabeth on her former TV show. Increasingly, when it's time to switch, Sue breaks the one-week rule. This results in part of Elizabeth's body becoming increasingly deformed. The culmination is a grotesque battle of gore between the two, who initially were instructed to remember, “You are one.”In the interview, the director, Coralie Fargeat, discusses her personal experience:“I turned 40 and was more impacted than ever about what it's like to be a woman, the feeling that if I wasn't young and pretty and sexy, I would be totally erased from the surface of the earth. So there was this kind of emergency, this vitality to the things I speak about in my film.”Research supports this thinking that beautiful people are treated better and thus have more advantages. With the use of photoshopping, social media filters, and even plastic surgery, many teens and young adults are experiencing neuroplastic changes that are making real people, including themselves, appear increasingly off or even grotesque. Left Brain“The Substance” is a left-brain nightmare. It shows us the self-destructive path the left brain can take us on, especially in a world that tells it exactly how things should look. Elizabeth, the main character in the movie, is rigid in her thinking, addicted to an image of herself, perfectionistic, and highly competitive. In some ways, these left-brain attributes have served her, but unchecked, they destroy her. If the left brain were a person, it would have the following traits and perspective on appearance: (These traits are oversimplified and pulled from Dr. Iain McGilchrist's work) - * Detail-oriented, narrow focus of attention - “That doesn't look right.”* Prefers what it knows and prioritizes what it expects - “I should look this way.”* Has difficulties disengaging - “I can't stop thinking about this and how to fix it.”* Sees parts (as opposed to the whole) * Sees the body as a sum of parts * Doesn't have a whole image of the body (as found in those who have damage to the right hemisphere)* Is competitive - “I need to look better than they do”* Fears of uncertainty and lack of control (As you can imagine, this is a problem for anyone human and thus who will age)The left brain will set its sights on beauty, success, titles, money, objects, or anything else that feeds the “I.” Because the left brain can't see the “big picture,” it has a hard time pulling back far enough to see how its way of thinking may be getting in the way. The Right BrainOur ability to feel embodied is a job for our brain's right hemisphere. When the voice in the movie reminds Elizabeth, “You are one,” it may as well be speaking on behalf of the right hemisphere.Our right brain allows us to have compassion, including self-compassion. It honors diversity and differences. It can see the bigger picture of our lives that involve multiple developmental stages. It can sit with uncertainty. It knows that our imperfections and differences promote connection with actual humans.UndermethylationLeft brain tendencies strongly overlap with undermethylation traits. Methylation is a biochemical and cellular phenomenon that serves many important functions. If we “undermethylate,” we can have more difficulties breaking down histamine, more difficulties detoxifying, and lower serotonin activity. Methylation is impacted by a number of genes, the most well-known being MTHFR.Undermethylated traits include perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, being highly competitive, having ruminations, and addictive tendencies. The NDMA ReceptorThose of us who are undermethylated can have high activity at the NMDA receptor, resulting in a problem with “memory extinction” or letting go of a thought. This could look like obsessive-compulsive tendencies (including those seen in body dysmorphia) and addictive tendencies. High histamine (again due to undermethylation) can increase activity at this receptor. Low zinc, high estrogen, and low magnesium can also be at play.I suspect Elizabeth is undermethylated and has high activity at the NMDA receptor. Both could be assessed for and treated (in part) using targeted nutrients. I say, in part, because the brain training / neural training that occurs through social media is difficult to override if someone is still “using.” Interestingly, EMF exposure (from phones and wireless technology) can increase histamine, further driving these issues.Neuroplasticity and Images of PerfectionThe more images of beautiful images of people we see, the more those images become the norm in our mind, and the more any deviation from that norm will stand out as problematic. This was already a problem with the photoshopping of celebrities and models. But now, with social media filters, teens and young women aren't just comparing themselves to celebrities and models; they're comparing themselves to a filtered image of themself.Filters can create larger eyes, bigger lips, more angular jawlines, whiter teeth, slimmer faces, and smooth and even skin tones. Research into the use of filters:* Millennials are predicted to take 25,000 selfies on average over their lifetimes* About 90% of women aged 18-30 report using beauty filters before posting selfies on social media. * Repeated interactions with filtered images and associated beliefs and worries are increasing the risk of mental health issues such as:* depression* social anxiety* reduced self-esteem* appearance anxiety* body dysmorphia* increase of plastic surgery* 62% of plastic surgeons report that their patients wanted cosmetic procedures because of dissatisfaction with their social media profiles* Snapchat dysmorphia” is what plastic surgeons are calling the act of taking a picture of one's self and using a filter.* Selfies are the leading cause of plastic surgery among young people* Girls who routinely shared self-images on social media had considerably higher body dissatisfaction relative to those who share selfies less frequently. * Body Dysmorphic Disorder among young women has been linked to social media use.In short, the research shows that investing in one's self-presentation on social media is often a harmful practice. The more one does it, the more damaging it tends to be. It encourages hyperattention to unrealistic beauty standards and a desire to change one's physical appearance. This problem of hyperattention to unrealistic beauty standards isn't just a phenomenon of teenage girls and younger women. I´m 57 and understand these things, and still, I´ve had to be intentional about how much attention and neuronal wiring I put into what increasingly feels like defying the very full and lovely reality of my current age. A SequelIf I could write a sequel to “The Substance,” it would be about how Elizabeth (the main character) gets off screens and finds a group of real women (her age and older) that she comes to trust, finds refuge, and who she is inspired by. Instead of looking through a lens of culturally defined beauty, she is struck by the strength, courage, and peace they never could have embodied at a younger age. These women who inspire and shape her would like Helen Mirin (79), who corrected a podcast interviewer after they said to her, “But you are young at heart.” She tells him that no, she is not….”My spirit is the age that I am. When you say 'youthful', I'm not full of youth. I'm full of the life that I've lived up to this point.As girls and women, we need these women in our lives. We can do our part to become these women - the desperately needed embodiments of the right brain. Wishing you peace and wholeness,CourtneyCourtneySnyderMD.comP.S.

Host Nate sits down with Dr. Andrew Rostenberg to explore the fascinating world of methylation and its profound impact on health. Learn how this crucial biochemical process influences detoxification, digestion, and brain function. Discover practical strategies to optimize your genes, improve energy, and overcome chronic health challenges. With insights from Dr. Rostenberg's groundbreaking work and bestselling book, Your Genius Body, this episode offers a transformative blueprint for wellness.

This episode explores three top topics from episodes in 2024: the mucus layer's protective role in maintaining gut barrier integrity, the bidirectional relationship between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the importance of methylation and the MTHFR gene. During the first topic of discussion, we detail ways to support the intestinal mucus layer; as we approach the third topic of discussion, we highlight the impact of MTHFR enzyme activity on methylation, emphasizing its importance for many cellular processes. Topics: 1. Introduction: 3 Top Topics of 2024 2. The Protective Mucus Layer Over the Intestinal Epithelial Lining The intestinal barrier: intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, lamina propria, and more. The mucus layer functions as both a physical and biochemical barrier. Goblet cells secrete mucins, which form the gel-like mucus layer, critical for maintaining barrier integrity. Dysregulation of mucus turnover can lead to increased intestinal permeability and inflammation. Supporting mucus levels: SCFAs, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Plant-derived mucilage and sources. 3. HPA Axis and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Interactions The HPA axis and the stress response. Microbiota-gut-brain axis. SCFAs produced by gut bacteria can influence gut barrier integrity and stress resilience. Dysbiosis disrupts SCFA production, weakens the gut barrier, and triggers inflammation. Dysbiosis and HPA axis dysregulation. Chronic cortisol secretion and secretory IgA. 4. The MTHFR Gene and Methylation Methylation involves transferring methyl groups. The synthesis of SAMe, the universal methyl donor: methionine and ATP with active folate (L-methylfolate) as a precursor. MTHFR gene polymorphisms reduce enzyme efficiency, impairing methylation and affecting DNA stability, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detoxification. Strategies, supplements, and more to support methylation. Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

Discover simple and effective methylation support strategies to boost your health, energy, and vitality.Methylation defects refer to genetic or biochemical issues that disrupt the body's ability to properly carry out the methylation process, which is essential for detoxification, DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, and overall cellular health. A common cause of methylation defects is mutations in the MTHFR gene, which can impair the body's ability to process folate and produce methyl groups. This can lead to a variety of health issues, including fatigue, cognitive problems, mood disorders, and an increased risk of chronic diseases.**Treating Methylation Defects**  Treatment for methylation defects often involves supporting the body's ability to methylate through dietary and lifestyle changes. Key strategies include:1. **Folate**: Ensure you're getting enough bioavailable forms of folate, such as L-methylfolate, which is easier for those with MTHFR mutations to absorb and utilize.2. **Vitamin B12**: Methylcobalamin is the preferred form of B12 for methylation support, as it directly contributes to the methylation cycle.3. **Vitamin B6**: Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) is the active form of B6, which helps in the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine, a process crucial for detoxification.4. **Betaine (Trimethylglycine)**: This supplement can help support methylation by donating methyl groups to the body, particularly for those who have difficulty utilizing folate and B12.5. **SAMe (S-Adenosyl Methionine)**: SAMe is a direct methyl donor that can help support mood, detoxification, and liver function.6. **Antioxidants**: Supplements like vitamin C, E, and glutathione may help protect cells from oxidative stress due to impaired methylation.7. **Magnesium**: Supports enzyme function and relaxation, helping to reduce the stress that can exacerbate methylation problems.**Diet and Lifestyle**  A diet rich in whole foods, including leafy greens (for folate), healthy fats, and lean proteins, can help optimize methylation. Avoiding toxins, reducing stress, and getting adequate sleep are also key factors in supporting methylation health. Consulting with a healthcare provider or functional medicine practitioner is advised to tailor supplementation and dietary changes based on individual needs.Check out my facebook page for health coaching/consulting: https://www.facebook.com/sagehealthcoachingIn this episode, I share practical tips and resources, including supplements and books that have helped me on my journey.Whether you're looking to optimize your well-being or gain insight into nutritional genetics, there's something here for you.Resources mentioned in the episode:Horbäach Creatine Monohydrate PowderA vegetarian, non-GMO, gluten-free supplement perfect for energy and muscle support.Buy on AmazonSeeking Health Multivitamin One MFMTHFR support with folinic acid and vitamin B12 in a methyl-free, easy-to-digest formula.Buy on AmazonDirty Genes by Dr. Ben LynchA revolutionary guide to health and wellness through nutritional genetics and personalized plans.Buy on AmazonSeeking Health Optimal PCBrain and liver support with sunflower lecithin for optimal energy and function.Buy on AmazonSeeking Health B Complex PlusA vitamin B complex supplement designed to support brain health, digestion, and energy.Buy on AmazonContact & Additional Resources:

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Audrey: Hello! Appreciate all of your insight - you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm a 32 year old that has had idiopathic thrombocytopenia since I had my child 5 years ago. Just wondering what labs you recommend for this and how to improve the numbers. Thanks!     Kaylee:  Hi Dr. Cabral. I appreciate everything that you do. I'm reaching out because I am at a loss for what to do next. I have dealt with chronic constipation and bloating my entire life. A year ago I cut out all dairy from my diet and started working with an IHP. She was phenomenal and for a while, constipation, gas, and bloating had subsided while working with her. Through working together I am now able to have a bowel movement every morning. However, the intense bloating, gas and belching has returned. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed, my stomach gets more and more distended as the day goes on. I prioritize Whole Foods, still don't eat dairy, exercise five days a week, prioritize 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night and live a healthier life than a lot of my peers. What should I do?     Kelsey: How does glutamate affect methylation?     Frances: Hi doctor Cabral, First off, I just want to say how amazing you are at breaking down complex health topics and offering practical solutions on your podcast. It's been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate it. I have a question about raw vs. cooked vegetables. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda often recommend eating cooked vegetables to aid digestion and other bodily processes. Does this also apply to veggies we add to smoothies? I frequently use raw spinach, kale, and cauliflower in mine. Should I be cooking them first, or does blending them make them easier to digest? Thanks so much for your answer. Frances     Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, a close friend is suffering from Morton's Neuroma in both her feet. She has had cortisone injections, tried rest & really can't find much in terms of natural remedies. Are you able to make any suggestions? Sometimes surgery is the only option but I would appreciate your expertise/guidance on possible healing modalities?

Do you know your biological age? How does one learn their biological age and how is it different from your chronological age? The answer lies in our epigenetics, which is how you live your life! In this fascinating episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn welcomes Hannah Went, co-founder of TruDiagnostic, to explore the science behind biological age testing. Together, they dive into the cutting-edge world of epigenetics, methylation, and the role of lifestyle in optimizing health. From understanding how epigenetic markers can predict disease risks to uncovering how simple changes can slow aging, this episode is packed with insights that could transform how you think about your health and longevity. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [1:57] What is your biological age?[6:04]  Hannah describes epigenetics and what they target in the blood through various tests.[9:54] What is methylation?[12:53] How is epigenetic testing different from Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos?[15:38] What are the privacy implications of taking these tests, and what can the tests reveal?[22:49] Studies around epigenetic information.[25:42] Slowing the progression of biomarkers that create disease.[29:05] Lifestyle changes can positively impact stress and overall health[32:19] There is power in testing.[33:39] Choosing the most compatible testing company.KEY TAKEAWAYS: Genetics and epigenetics offer complementary insights into human biology. Genetics represents the fixed "hardware" inherited equally from each parent, while epigenetics is the dynamic "software" influenced by interactions with the environment and personal behaviors. Unlike static genetic markers, epigenetic markers are often changeable, though some—like imprint markers—may be inherited, presenting exciting opportunities for biomarker discovery.While the classification of aging as a disease may be debated, it's clear that biological age clocks are becoming powerful tools for detecting disease signals. For example, one clock has shown 92% accuracy in predicting mortality, compared to 72% for chronological age. These biomarkers are improving and will soon include methylation risk scores for specific diseases, helping to assess individual disease risks more precisely. Aging may serve as a general indicator, providing valuable insights into disease likelihood and guiding interventions for better health outcomes.Aging and health assessments, like biological age testing, can serve as a valuable wake-up call, especially for those with room for improvement in their health and lifestyle. While biohacking and excessive supplementation are popular, they often lack clarity and balance, making it difficult to pinpoint what's truly effective. Simplicity is vital—maintaining a balanced approach is more beneficial than overloading the body with too many interventions, which can disrupt homeostasis and lead to less favorable results.QUOTES: [6:19] “I like to break down the word. So epi is a Greek prefix that actually just means above or on top of. So we're quite literally just looking on top of your genetics.” Hannah Went[7:25] “You can change your epigenetics and control your health. You can no longer blame, you know, your predisposition for disease based on your second cousins.” Hannah Went [7:40] “We are in control of our health. Genetics are this predisposition, but not a determining, inherent absolute.” Jenn Trepeck[12:14] “Epigenetics is actually a better marker in some cases in terms of disease predictability, odds ratios, hazard ratio and that's the point of the biomarker. How close can we get to that disease prediction?” Hannah Went[14:03] “Epigenetic tests are not a replacement for traditional lab tests. Instead, they're just providing a unique layer of insight into how your environment and lifestyle may be affecting your particular genes.” Hannah Went[27:18] “We can look at these results and let it be a wake up call to say,  I may have different data so, I might want to make some lifestyle changes.” Jenn Trepeck[33:09] “You see things on social media nowadays, like ‘food is medicine'. ‘You are what you eat'. ‘Your DNA is not your destiny'.  That's epigenetics. They're quite literally describing epigenetics without saying the word.” Hannah Went[35:06] “People get confused between what's truly genetic and what is inherited lifestyle. Something might run in your family, that doesn't necessarily mean it's genetic because the other thing that runs in families is lifestyle choices and habits.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nuggets for Epigenetics EpisodeGUEST RESOURCES: Everything Epigenetics - PodcastTrudiagnostic - WebsiteEverything Epigenetics - InstagramEverything Epi - TwitterGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Hannah Went has a lifelong passion for longevity and breakthrough, disruptive technologies that drive radical improvement to the human condition.

Did you know there's a process happening in your body every second that influences everything from energy production to hormone balance, detoxification, and even DNA repair? It's called methylation, and in this week's episode, I'm diving into why it's such an essential piece of the puzzle for breast cancer survivors. For those of us on a healing journey, understanding how to support this process can be a game-changer. But here's the thing: it's not just about science. It's about simple, actionable steps you can take to help your body do what it's naturally designed to do. In this episode, I break down methylation in a way that's easy to understand (no biochemistry degree needed, I promise!). We'll talk about how sluggish methylation might show up in your life—like fatigue, brain fog, or trouble recovering from stress—and why this could be important for your recovery and long-term health. Most importantly, I share three simple, practical ways you can support methylation starting today. If you've ever wondered how to help your body thrive after breast cancer, this is a must-listen.   Referred to in this episode: Better Than Before Breast Cancer™ Life Coaching Membership The Four Pillars of Breast Cancer Recovery 90 Days of Wellness Metabolic Health Coaching #27 Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Download the Recipes   Follow me on Social Media:  Facebook Instagram Pinterest YouTube

Does trauma affect our methylation process and our body's capacity to detox? Trauma doesn't just live in our minds; it resides in our cells, influencing fundamental biological processes. One of these processes is detoxification, our body's natural ability to eliminate harmful substances. When trauma is stored in the body, it affects the biology of our detoxification pathways, making it harder for us to rid ourselves of toxins. A build-up of toxins can impede our progress in trauma therapy and healing. It's a two-way street: trauma affects our ability to detoxify, and toxins affect our ability to process and release trauma.  I am very excited about our guest today since he has been a leader in implementing mental health nutrition at the clinical level. It is hard to be a leader, and I want to acknowledge the effort he has put in to create a different experience for his patients. Albert Mensah has been a family practice physician for over twenty years now. He received his medical degree from Finch University of Health Sciences, Chicago Medical School, and then completed his residency at Swedish Covenant, leading him to follow a very different path than conventional medical, making his approach to body and biochemical imbalances very unique.  In this episode, you'll learn: The science behind trauma-toxin connection and provide practical insights on what to do about it  Learn to recognize methylation imbalances and its health issues Understand how to support your body's detox pathways Learn nutritional and diet tools For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/
