Podcasts about Methylation

You're doing “everything right”... but the fat won't budge. You've dialed in your workouts. You've cleaned up your food. You're even trying to manage your stress.So why do you still feel stuck, bloated, and inflamed?

Dr. Josh Mitteldorf summarizes his #research perspective #published in Volume 17, Issue 5 of Aging (Aging-US), titled “Methylation clocks for evaluation of anti-aging interventions.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206245 Corresponding author - Josh Mitteldorf - aging.advice@gmail.com Author interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efgNvr5ezTk Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjUvpqMzCGc Abstract Methylation clocks have found their way into the community of aging research as a way to test anti-aging interventions without having to wait for mortality statistics. But methylation is a primary means of epigenetic control, and presumably has evolved under strong selection. Hence, if methylation patterns change consistently at late ages it must mean one of two things. Either (1) the body is evolved to destroy itself (with inflammation, autoimmunity, etc.), and the observed methylation changes are a means to this end; or (2) the body detects accumulated damage, and is ramping up repair mechanisms in a campaign to rescue itself. My thesis herein is that both Type 1 and Type 2 changes are occurring, but that only Type 1 changes are useful in constructing methylation clocks to evaluate anti-aging interventions. This is because a therapy that sets back Type 1 changes to an earlier age state has stopped the body from destroying itself; but a therapy that sets back Type 2 changes has stopped the body from repairing itself. Thus, a major challenge before the community of epigenetic clock developers is to distinguish Type 2 from Type 1. The existence of Type 1 epigenetic changes is in conflict with conventional Darwinian thinking, and this has prompted some researchers to explore the possibility that Type 1 changes might be a form of stochastic epigenetic drift. I argue herein that what seems like directed epigenetic change really is directed epigenetic change. Of five recent articles on “stochastic methylation clocks,” only one (from the Conboy lab) is based on truly stochastic changes. Using the Conboy methodology and a methylation database, I construct a measure of true methylation drift, and show that its correlation with age is too low to be useful.

BUFFALO, NY — June 10, 2025 — A new #research perspective was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 5, 2025, titled “Methylation clocks for evaluation of anti-aging interventions.” In this perspective article, Dr. Josh Mitteldorf explores how current epigenetic clocks—used to estimate biological age—might mislead scientists trying to evaluate anti-aging therapies. The paper challenges a widespread assumption: that all changes in DNA methylation with age are equally valid for measuring biological decline. Dr. Mitteldorf proposes that failing to distinguish between different types of epigenetic changes could lead to inaccurate conclusions, potentially even favoring treatments that reduce repair processes rather than extend healthy lifespan. Methylation clocks have become a popular tool in aging research. These clocks use patterns of DNA methylation, a form of gene regulation that changes over time, to predict a person's biological age. Because human aging trials are long and expensive, these clocks offer a faster way to evaluate whether a therapy slows or reverses aging. However, this article warns that not all methylation changes are equal in meaning or effect. The perspective identifies two main categories of methylation changes that occur with age. One type, called 'Type 1,' seems to support the idea that aging may be programmed, with gene activity changing in ways that could cause damage, such as more inflammation or increased cell loss. The second type, “Type 2,” involves increased gene activity aimed at repairing age-related damage. If a therapy reduces the activity of Type 2 genes, it may appear to slow aging while actually interfering with the body's repair response. “Paradoxically, an intervention that “sets back” the body's methylation clock to a younger state is shutting off vital repair mechanisms, so it is likely inimical to health and longevity.” This distinction is important because most methylation clocks, including popular models like GrimAge, do not separate these two types. As a result, they may incorrectly suggest that a treatment is reversing aging when it is only suppressing beneficial repair mechanisms. According to Dr. Mitteldorf, this could lead researchers to draw the wrong conclusions and unintentionally slow down progress in anti-aging research. The author also addresses a growing trend in the scientific community that aims to explain age-related methylation as random drift rather than directed change. In a pilot analysis using publicly available data, Dr. Mitteldorf attempted to construct a clock based purely on stochastic, or random, changes. The results showed a weak correlation with age, suggesting that random drift is an unreliable basis for assessing biological aging. Dr. Mitteldorf argues that most age-related methylation changes are likely intentional and regulated, rather than random. If so, epigenetic clocks must be refined to reflect the biological purpose behind methylation shifts. Without distinguishing between changes that indicate damage and those that indicate repair, current clocks may not only mismeasure age but also misguide intervention strategies. This article highlights the urgent need to improve how methylation data are interpreted before such clocks can reliably assess anti-aging therapies. A clearer understanding of these molecular patterns could help reshape the future of aging research and therapy evaluation.

If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone. This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn't produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice. Her case wasn't unusual. What made the difference was data. Through our 1:1 program, Jenny completed a full panel of functional assessments, including: Hormone & adrenal testing (DUTCH test) Comprehensive gut analysis Nutrient and inflammatory markers Genetic testing to understand her body's metabolic and detox pathways The findings confirmed several core issues: Severely diminished cortisol output Estrogen dominance with low progesterone production Leaky gut and poor gut microbiota diversity Methylation and detoxification gene variants contributing to poor recovery and persistent inflammation Once we had this information, we developed a structured plan with targeted interventions to support endocrine function, rebuild gut integrity, and address her specific genetic vulnerabilities. Within weeks, she began to notice improvements: more stable energy, clearer cognition, better sleep, and less bloating. While she's still progressing through the program, the results so far validate a simple principle: symptoms require investigation—not assumption. If you've been told “everything looks normal” but still don't feel well, you may benefit from the same thorough, data-driven approach.

In the last episode, we talked about CBD as a methylation adaptogen, but we haven' talked too much about that term so let's dive in. We know that everyday methylation is important for people with the MTHFR gene or with any methylation dysfunction, but it turns out that long-term methylation care is important too and this can be achieved by getting methylation adaptogens.Methylation adaptogens are substances that help to regulate the amount your genes are methylated. Remember that when genes are methyalted, they are turned off and when they are unmethylated they are turned on. So having stretches of your genome that are undermethylated means the genes in there are allowed to function out of control, and that could lead to bigger problems like cancer.Methylating your genes appropriately is one of the long-term ways to prevent disease and even benefit your children, because research has shown that the way you methylate your genes might pass to your children. Not just the genes themselves, but the methylation tags.The most researched compounds that have been called methylation adaptogens come from food sources - things like caffeic acid from coffee and cruciferous veggies, lycopene from tomatoes and watermelon, resveratrol from red wine.

Exposure to inorganic arsenic before conception can trigger changes in gene activity that are passed down to offspring and increase their risk of developing diabetes, according to a study in mice funded by an NIEHS individual research grant and by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program. These changes, known as epigenetic changes, alter how genes work without changing the genes themselves. In this study, the researchers looked at a type of change called CpG methylation.

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.

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:

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.

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?
