This episode explores the critical role of tryptophan, an aromatic amino acid, in forming tubulin—the key protein building microtubules, which act as cellular "train tracks" for structure and movement. We delve into how microtubules drive mitosis, the process of cell division essential for growth and repair, and discuss tryptophan's unique biochemical significance, including its single codon (UGG) and contributions to DNA methylation.We connect these cellular mechanisms to Autism, examining how microtubule disruptions may affect neuron proliferation and migration during prenatal development, potentially leading to sensory processing issues and altered connectivity. The episode highlights the intricate dance of cells in neural tube formation and emphasizes the need for deeper research into these upstream processes to uncover Autism's developmental roots.YT video of tryptophan and microtubules https://youtu.be/AY6GmS_AePk?si=K_ZTy5RjLGkm1hGdInner Cell Life video https://youtu.be/RrS2uROUjK4?si=DCHs927yteOZ00dWSee Stuart Hameroff, Martin Picard, Michael Levin, Jack Kruseuse "autism" for $25 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RYAN03139use "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $25 discount04:22 tryptophan, aromatic amino acid, microtubules, mitosis; human biology, autism04:44 tryptophan, UGG codon, methionine, SAM, MTHFR, folate, DNA methylation; upstream biology, RNA, DNA06:04 microtubules, train tracks, mitosis, cell division, spindle, DNA separation; skin repair06:55 tryptophan, tubulin, microtubules, mitosis, intracellular transport, cell shape; Autism research, upstream processes9:25 Chroma Light Devices- Lights Designed for Humans, use "autism" for 10% discount12:27 tryptophan fluorescence, mitosis, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis; microtubules, chromosome movement, cell division, tissue repair15:58 mitosis, neural tube, embryonic development, neuron proliferation, migration; Autism, brain size, connectivity20:33 sensory processing, hyperconnectivity, synaptic pruning, microtubules; Autism, sensory sensitivities, cortical connections25:06 excitation-inhibition imbalance, microtubules, environmental toxins, light exposure, fertilization, blastocyst; Autism, prenatal development, cell polarity31:09 microtubules, neural tube, gastrulation, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm; Autism, cell migration,37:18 outro, reviewsX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Reasons Why You Can't Interpret Your Own Lab Results

biobalancehealth's podcast

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog There is a new federal rule for lab companies that requires them to report your blood tests to you as soon as they are finished, often even before your doctor has seen them.  This rule, deemed unreasonable, was established by individuals without medical expertise (politicians), who know little about interpreting lab data or the workings of doctor's offices. Sending your lab results to you before doctors can assess them is not a decision rooted in sound medical practice but rather in the notion of individual freedom. While this is important, it does not compare to having an expert interpret your results with you. The law requiring that your lab results be sent to you as soon as they are completed does not consider the fact that these results are not designed for laymen to interpret. Additionally, lab results are meant to be analyzed alongside a patient's medical history, age, gender, and medications.  The results are not tailored to report information specific to your situation, which is how a doctor would interpret them. Lab results often lack layperson-friendly explanations. This new protocol can cause anxiety, as patients may panic over results that appear abnormal, even if they are normal for their specific medical condition and treatment. Furthermore, lab companies only request your age and gender. The factors that doctors evaluate when interpreting your results are diverse and numerous, each influencing the overall interpretation. What are the considerations that doctors add to their interpretation? Menopausal status Medical conditions Healthy normal for young and healthy adults The newest recommended ranges for health Body weight Other lab values seen on the same report The problem with you getting your own lab and interpreting it as written is multifactorial: The lab is sent to you digitally with very little explanation except for reference ranges. There is no information about who you are being compared to. Other women, both men and women? Old women? Young women? Women with symptoms or women who are well without symptoms.  The reporting of the lab results to a patient directly may hide problems that need action or create fears that are unnecessary. Anxiety over your results will continue until your doctor's appointment to discuss … so you may experience unnecessary worry in many circumstances. Reference ranges make many assumptions, but labs don't input vital information about you into their computer. your age of menopause, your weight your height (or BMI) previous illnesses and your medications. if you are on hormones or testosterone   Here is a good example. The test for pituitary hormones FSH and LH. When a woman aged 45 is menopausal, and has a very high FSH and LH, the lab says it is “normal” (in the reference range), yet the woman is having severe hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia.  That is not healthy or “normal”. The same two tests can be used to determine if a person is menopausal. Let's say a 42-year-old woman has elevated FSH and LH, but her estradiol is very high (200-300). To the layperson, this looks like menopause, but in reality, it is the picture of ovulation, not menopause. One has to look at another test, estradiol, to determine whether she is premenopausal and ovulating or menopausal (her estradiol would be very low, and FSH and LH would be high). See the problem? Reference Ranges don't tell you what the doctor is looking for. The same two tests, FSH and LH, are used to diagnose polycystic ovaries (PCO) too.  In women without PCO, the FSH is higher than the LH, but if the LH is greater than the FSH, the diagnosis of PCO should be considered! There is no information about this interpretation in the lab report. Falling within the reference range doesn't guarantee health or absence of symptoms. If patients are to interpret their own lab results, reference ranges should reflect health in every possible scenario. FSH and LH are influenced by BCPs and menopausal HRT. Lab results should be interpreted considering the information regarding BCPs or ERT that the patient is taking. When women are on BCPs and HRT or ERT, their FSH and LH levels are suppressed to an extremely low point. If you are unaware that the patient is taking these hormones, it may appear that the diagnosis is pituitary failure affecting estrogen levels and ovulation. Only doctors can interpret this test. There should truly be a “normal” range for those undergoing hormone replacement therapy, along with a reference range that reflects overall health, rather than merely the average for your geographical area in the US or your age group. Please make an appointment with your doctor to review your lab results so you can understand how they are interpreted. If you have questions about your lab results that are concerning you, schedule a time to discuss them with your doctor. Doctors don't have the time to explain results over the phone or through email—that is what appointments are meant for. Phone calls to doctors' offices are not intended for lab result interpretation. You or your insurance will not compensate the doctor or NP for this service over the phone.   The reference ranges for many tests and medical situations are actually wrong. If you aren't trained as a doctor or Nurse practitioner who interprets metabolic lab results every day, you could get the wrong diagnosis!!! For example, when evaluating a patient for insulin resistance, the reference range was officially changed almost two decades ago. Still, the lab companies have left the normal range very high (insulin> 18). In the revised range, fasting insulin diagnoses insulin resistance if the value is > 10. The resulting outcome is that many people are not diagnosed at a time when they can be easily treated without drugs and are told that they are “normal” when they are really experiencing insulin resistance. This is misleading and just wrong! Lab values are not adjusted to your individual situation.   Many tests are adjusted for gender; however, some are specifically adjusted for women who are menstruating regarding H/H. In other words, men and women have different “normal” H/H levels in the reference range. Women who do not menstruate or who are menopausal should be compared to the same reference range as men, but that does not happen. This leads to menopausal women, who are normal, often being told they have too many red blood cells when that is not the case. Conversely, menopausal women who are truly anemic are told they are normal, which means it takes longer to diagnose their anemia from colon cancer! The H/H should have a reference range that is considered “normal” for a woman's stage in life, depending on whether she is experiencing menstrual periods or not. Many reference ranges are averages for regions of the US and vary between lab companies; therefore, they are not reliable values for comparing patients.   For instance, the Homocysteine test has a normal range that is relatively high, and each lab has different reference ranges. This test serves as a screening tool for MTHFR genetic risk related to embolic stroke and heart disease.   The suggested treatment involves methylated B vitamins; however, the interpretation on the lab printout advises taking B12 and folic acid, which, in my experience, tends to increase the number rather than decrease it. Reference ranges for nutrients, vitamins, and minerals reflect the minimum levels needed for survival, not optimal health. For example, B12 reference range levels for B12 blood levels are listed as 200-1100 pg/ml, yet I was trained to try to achieve 400 -1500 pg/ml. The lower range of the written reference range (200-400) is not healthy. The desired blood levels for vitamins are often controversial, and various medical colleges issue new recommendations on Vitamin D levels each month. Consequently, doctors must determine which level of Vitamin D to recommend for their patients. These institutions not only provide changing reference ranges but also offer differing advice on how frequently to test Vitamin D. This inconsistency arises primarily from the ongoing debate about the minimum acceptable level of Vitamin D. I have more information about your lab results next week that your doctor may not share with you. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the reference ranges on the lab sheet, and you should know the truth in case your doctor doesn't.

Nutrition forms the bedrock of our health, yet misconceptions about what constitutes "healthy eating" continue to proliferate. In this illuminating deep dive, I unravel the complex world of nutrition beyond conventional wisdom, challenging long-held beliefs about what truly nourishes our bodies.The most surprising revelation might be the stark contrast between perceived and actual nutrient density in foods. When comparing nutrient content scientifically, organ meats like beef liver consistently outperform fruits and vegetables across almost every vitamin and mineral category. This doesn't diminish the value of plant foods but offers a more nuanced understanding of optimal nutrition.Your genetic makeup profoundly influences your nutritional requirements. Genetic variations like MTHFR affect how efficiently you process nutrients and detoxify toxins. Rather than viewing these variations as purely negative, I suggest they might serve as evolutionary early warning systems that signal when our bodies encounter toxic overload, prompting us to make changes before serious damage occurs.The much-debated topic of cholesterol reveals another paradigm shift—elevated LDL cholesterol often functions as both a repair molecule for damaged blood vessel linings and a binding agent for toxins from infections. This suggests high cholesterol might indicate underlying infection or inflammation rather than being the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, offering a fresh perspective on cholesterol-lowering approaches.Beyond biochemistry, I explore what might be the most overlooked aspect of nutrition—what I call "soul nutrition." The profound impact of human connection, purpose, and mindful eating often outweighs the importance of nutrient-perfect meals. A rushed, stress-filled meal of nutrient-dense foods won't serve your body as well as a relaxed, joyful meal that activates your parasympathetic nervous system, essential for proper digestion.Ready to transform your relationship with food and discover what truly nourishes you at the cellular and spiritual levels?

About Rhiannon Neuharth: Rhiannon is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, Board Certified Health Coach with the American Association of Natural Wellness Coaches and a Board-Certified member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. She began her journey in functional nutrition after struggling to maintain her chronically ill child's health with antibiotics. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she delved into research, eventually finding her passion in supporting others on the path to optimal health and wellness. With a focus on individuals with MTHFR, Rhiannon provides simple solutions to optimized wellness in just 90 days, without spending endless hours on Google.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Rhiannon shares how her youngest child's autoimmune deficiency and chronic illness led her to discover MTHFR, a genetic variation that affects the body's ability to process folate and other key nutrients. This sparked her passion for functional nutrition and supporting others with MTHFR-related health challenges. What is MTHFR and how does it impact our health? MTHFR stands for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, a gene that plays a crucial role in converting folate and homocysteine. Rhiannon explains how MTHFR variations can contribute to a wide range of issues like hormone imbalances, weight problems, fatigue, ADHD, autism, and autoimmune conditions - regardless of age. Strategies for managing MTHFR and supporting overall health Rhiannon discusses the role of diet, lifestyle, stress management, and nervous system regulation in supporting those with MTHFR. She highlights the importance of gut health, hormone balance, and addressing nutrient deficiencies through targeted supplementation. The importance of comprehensive testing  Rhiannon emphasizes the need for comprehensive genetic testing that looks at 165 genes, rather than just one or two. This provides a clear action plan and insights into the root causes of a person's symptoms. She contrasts this with typical doctor-testing that may miss key factors.   Resources from Rhiannon Neuharth: Learn more about comprehensive testing by texting TEST to (321) 335-2414   Connect With Rhiannon Neuharth: Website: https://www.Revitalizing-Wellness.com TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com@MTHFR_Coach Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mthfr_Coach   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm looking for advice to help my 8 year old daughter. She had a verucca last year that was persistent, it eventually cleared up with over the counter treatment. The verucca has come back this year and is really not shifting & it appears to be getting worse/larger. I have tried taping it, shop bought treatments and home remedies using garlic etc. What would you recommend? Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom.                                                                         Kirsten: Hi Dr. C! Thank you so much for what you do! I enjoy listening to your podcasts daily! I took the MTHfr test and I was told that I carry one abnormal copy of two Mthfr genes. It looks like I am heterozygous for both.. Can you explain to me what this means and what I need to do to treat it please? I also have Hashimotos but not sure if that's connected or not.Thank you!                                                                   Angie: Hello Dr. Cabral,My recent lab results indicate platelets low at 147 which is concerning. Gi Doctor said i have at two low labs and she is not concerned since it's a trend with prior labs. What could be wrong and what is your suggestion for a resolution ? Other labs - which are concerning Hemoglobin @16.5 (high) HCT @50 (high) Glucose @101 (high) And diagnosed with IBS.I appreciate any guidance. Thank you for all you do !                                                                                      Christina: Hi Dr. Cabral! First, thank you for your generosity with your knowledge & time & the team you have built around you. I'm so grateful for the community. Now to the question: 3 months ago I started eating chicken and beef again after 15 years of a pescatarian diet. I have noticed that since that time, my frequency of burping has increased. I thought maybe my microbiome and digestive system needed time to adjust, but also thought by 3 months it would have subsided. This is the only change I've made in my diet; all other habits are the same - sleep, frequency of workouts, environment, supplements, etc. The burps come on suddenly which can be sort of embarrassing and if I try to hold them in, it causes acid reflux. What do you suggest I do?                                                                                    Julianna: Hello! Thank you for reviewing my situation. I am female, age 22. As many women my age, I have been dealing with acne for a while, but got much worse around age 20 (didn't have much of a problem in high school). It appears to be fungal and comedonal acne all the time and some cystic acne around my period. Many small spots on my chin, forehead, and nostril area, sometimes in the area above my top lip. I've seen a dermatologist for the past 2 years, on Doxycycline pills, tretinoin cream, and clindamycin lotion. This helped clear my skin pretty well but not completely. I recently stopped all of these, I want to find more natural solutions to whatever is causing the acne, and the acne has, of course, come back. I try to eat clean and use low-tox products. What can I do to solve this?     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3327 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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!

For today's episode, we go into the science of embryogenesis, focusing on neurulation—the critical process where the neural tube forms, laying the groundwork for the central, peripheral, and enteric nervous systems. We discuss how disruptions in this early developmental stage, influenced by factors like folic acid metabolism, the sonic hedgehog pathway, and genes such as PTEN (P10), could shape the autistic phenotype. From cell proliferation to migration, we connect these biological processes to autism, exploring how environmental factors—like a pregnant mother's exposure to artificial light versus sunlight—might alter developmental outcomes. This episode sets the stage for when the Autistic phenotype begins and for more detail on why the mesencephalon does not evolve into other cell types like the other three areas (prosencephalon, rhombencephalon, and spinal cord).Daylight Computer Company https://daylightcomputer.comuse "autism" in the discount code for $25 coupon.This is the future of tech.0:00 Daylight Computer Company4:20 Neurulation; primary & secondary6:26 Neural tube, MTHFR & Folate (Vitamin B9), DNA methylation11:51 Neuroepithelial Cells; Neural Crest, Surface Ectoderm, Mesodermal16:05 Environmental implications, proliferation, differentiation, and migration18:45 PTEN26:29 Modern Environments28:00 What do you think light is?

Neither of these personalities tend to tolerate leftovers very well (because leftovers are also 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 do well for these groups. Likewise, the major methyl donors tend to do well. These are SAMe, TMG, and DMG. Conversely, these groups don't do as well with folate, even the MTHFR-safe forms like L-5MTHF or folinic acid. Also, the benzodiazepine class of pharmaceuticals isn't usually the best choice (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!

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe share their personal journeys from corporate careers to founding WeNatal, a company focused on improving fertility through better prenatal supplements. They discuss the importance of addressing both male and female health in the preconception phase, the science behind their product formulations, and the need for education and resources for couples trying to conceive. Their mission is to empower individuals with knowledge and high-quality supplements to enhance fertility outcomes.   Takeaways Ronit and Vida met at Nike and became best friends. Ronit's experience in functional medicine changed their trajectory. Miscarriages led them to explore fertility solutions more deeply. Men contribute to 50% of miscarriages due to sperm quality. WeNatal was created to support both partners in fertility. Their prenatal supplements are designed for bioavailability and effectiveness. They focus on simplifying the supplement process for women. Education is key in supporting couples on their fertility journey. Their blog offers valuable resources for those trying to conceive. They emphasize the importance of quality ingredients in supplements.   Guest Bio:   Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement company that is transforming the fertility space with the first prenatal supplement optimized for her AND him. WeNatal's mission to change the narrative surrounding fertility and reproductive health is personal; after suffering miscarriages a week apart, Ronit and Vida were given little direction on what to do differently. More importantly, the health of Ronit and Vida's partners(including the health of their sperm) was completely missing from their fertility dialogue with their doctors… something had to change. That is why WeNatal was born, to shift the fertility journey from "me" to "we.” WeNatal is revolutionizing the prenatal space and backed by industry leading Functional Medicine doctors, nutritionists, and fertility experts, including Dr. Mark Hyman and Kelly LeVeque. With 24 key clean, bioavailable nutrients, WeNatal steps up where other supplements fall short for all things preconception to postpartum for both parents and baby.     Websites/Links:    Free Preconception Guide:  WeNatal.com/guide     https://www.instagram.com/we_natal/?hl=en   For more information about Michelle, visit: www.michelleoravitz.com   Check out Michelle's Latest Book: The Way of Fertility! https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility   The Wholesome FertilityFacebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/   Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/     Transcript:   Michelle (00:00) Welcome to the podcast for Neat and Vita.   Vida Delrahim (00:02) Thanks for having us. We're so excited to be here.   Ronit Menashe (00:04) So happy to be here.   Michelle (00:06) Yes, so happy to have you guys. And I know that you guys have such an interesting story, first of all, on how you met and also the experience you guys went through together. So without giving anything away, I would love for you guys to share your stories, your personal stories and how that eventually led you to doing your passion project.   Vida Delrahim (00:26) Yeah, I'd love to. So it's fun story because we never envisioned to be in the supplement space. And in fact, Ronit and I met in our corporate careers at Nike close to 18 years ago and became best friends and really just kind of embarked in life together. Ronit went on to work in the functional medicine space and we should all thank our lucky stars that she did because it kind of completely changed our trajectory. So.   I had a miscarriage right when she was having her first daughter. And of course the answers we were given were very dismissive. They were typically like very common, keep trying, you're lucky you even got pregnant, could be the stress, could be a slew of things. They just kind of shove you along as part of the process. And I didn't know any better, of course, having my first and Ronit was actually in the functional med space, immersed and kind of taught me things like, have you checked your thyroid? Have you done this? Have you done that?   Lo and behold, I had Hashimoto's, I didn't even know about it. Just that simple act of fixing my thyroid with medication and visiting an endocrinologist allowed me to have a healthy baby girl. And then fast forward to 2020, I had another miscarriage. And a week after, Ronit had one. And I think this was, it happened a week apart. This was a little bit shocking because...   Like I kind of just accepted that this stuff happens, but Ronit working alongside Dr. Mark Hyman, who's very amazing functional practitioner, she was all about the root cause. She was all about the answers and the questions and the answers she was given was very similar, but she wasn't willing to accept that. Like, you know, there's nothing you can do as an answer.   Michelle (02:02) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (02:03) And I think for me, Michelle, the reason why it was so shocking was because I was a huge fan of functional medicine for so many years and I already was doing all of the things, or at least I thought I was. I had already cleaned out my house from plastics. I had already, you know, was eating organic food. I was focusing on movement. I was taking pretty good supplements.   or at least what I thought was good supplements. And I was shocked. And when I started to dive into the root of what was happening, because it didn't make sense to me that my doctor said, there is nothing you could do to improve your fertility, literally. It is just common, just keep trying. I thought that makes zero sense. And I'm gonna learn about how to improve my egg quality. I thought.   Michelle (02:48) Mm hmm.   Ronit Menashe (03:01) It was a net quality issue. was 41 at the time. That's what made sense to me. And my biggest aha was when I learned that 50 % of miscarriages happen because of sperm quality. And that was when I called Vida and I said, Vida, did you know that men contribute to 50 % of miscarriages and that 50 that   that sperm quality is easily improved using antioxidants like CoQ10 and AC. In fact, studies after studies show that when men take an antioxidant blend in high dose bioavailable forms, they can quadruple their chances of their partner getting pregnant and having a live birth. So,   That was our big light bulb moment when we thought like, my God, we need to create a prenatal for men. And we need to scream this from the rooftops that men have a huge role, huge role in improving fertility outcomes and pregnancy outcomes for their families. And that was where we started our journey.   Michelle (04:13) It is so important. can't even like tell you. It's so crazy because I have people that go to their doctors and so many times they don't even check the men. And also the DNA fragmentation, which is a whole other thing. Cause like, yeah, you can have perfect sperm numbers and motility and morphology. But if the DNA is off and that can get really impacted by the antioxidants,   then that can make a big difference on so many things on IVF, is so expensive too. So I love that you guys bring this up. It's so important.   Vida Delrahim (04:50) It's so important and how is it that we're so far in like medicine and women's rights, but like yet the burden of fertility still solely is falling so Ronit and I knew that was like the beginning of our mission that one, women and men deserve better products because we can talk about how   once we uncover the fertility and the supplement space, we learn so much, but also that they both need to be leveling up their health. They both need to be part of the conversation. And WeNatal was really born to really level up both partners and bring them together during this journey and give them the best tools and the best nutrition to level up their health in this crucial timeframe, which is preconception.   Michelle (05:32) For sure, and we're neat. So you had a different background and you changed your career like me.   Ronit Menashe (05:38) Well, my background was in marketing. That's where Vida and I met at Nike. And I fell in love with functional medicine when I got into CrossFit and I learned about the Paleo diet. And then I learned about functional medicine. And then I started to do, you know, become, I became a functional medicine patient myself. And this was a year before, you know,   we need years before we natal. And I just fell in love with this idea of medicine of the root cause. And once you learn it, you can't unlearn it. Like that's how you think about everything. It's like, even when, you know, your child has a tantrum nowadays, you're like, okay, like it's not them. Is it there? Is it that they're tired? Is it that they're hungry? Is it that they had sugar? You know, you, you   Michelle (06:27) you   Bye.   Ronit Menashe (06:35) learn about root cause medicine, you realize it, you know, that just everything is connected. And so for me, that was, you know, a big change in my career because I was focused more on marketing. And then I wanted to get into the functional medicine space. I took Chris Kresser's adapt course and, know, kind of started to learn about becoming a practitioner, but   it ended up serving me very well when I met Dr. Mark Hyman and I worked on his private practice and worked on his private practice more from like operations. And then I worked with him on his book launches. So still kind of like in the business side of things, marketing side of things, but more focused on this space that I love so much, which is functional integrative medicine.   Michelle (07:26) That's amazing. so I'm sure with that background, and also realizing that there is a need for this. It really inspired you to do, to have this supplement company.   Ronit Menashe (07:38) 100%. We spoke to Dr. Hyman when we first came up with the idea and he said, I always treat the man when a woman comes to me with infertility. And so what we wanted to do with WeNatal is be able to give everybody access to this kind of functional medicine approach, which essentially means optimizing male fertility and female fertility before trying to conceive.   what it looks like is nourishing your body and kind of, creating that optimal soil for conception. And, know, we always say when you improve your health, you're improving your fertility. And when you're improving your fertility, you're improving your health. And we hear from so many customers that, you know, let's say men, for instance, they're taking we natal for him. And all of a sudden they have a libido all of a sudden.   They have energy, they focus, their hair is growing. So that's kind of the side effects and the byproduct of working on improving your sperm and egg quality is you actually also feel good when you're nourished. You feel good when you're depleted from nutrients. Of course, you're going to be tired. And so many people just accept   this notion of like, I'm getting older so I should be tired or I'm getting older I should be losing my hair or I'm postpartum I should be   Michelle (09:06) Like it's normal,   normal versus common.   Vida Delrahim (09:08) Exactly.   Exactly.   Ronit Menashe (09:09) Exactly. Exactly. So   yes, these things are common, but they're not normal. And Vida and I just, you know, had this like life circumstance where we realized like it's our mission now to educate people on the importance of preconception, that there is so much you could do as a couple. He needs to be part of the equation. And when we started WeNatal, we didn't know if the men would be into it, but we're happy to say   Our we-natal men are amazing. We have so many incredible couples that are doing this together from day one. And we're always saying like, they're gonna be the best dads. If they are participating in fertility so early, they are amazing parents already.   Michelle (09:56) So yeah, for sure. And talk about like the different ingredients or the and what they do when it comes to both egg and sperm quality. And you can take your time on this   Ronit Menashe (10:08) for sure. Well, you know, here's the thing. We didn't think that the world needed another prenatal for women because there are so many prenatals out there, thousands. know, and. But when we started to dive into it and particularly for us, we were taking these packets made out of plastic that had seven pills in them.   And we just thought women deserve better. Why do they need to take seven pills? Why do they need to throw out plastic every day? Like we care about creating these healthy little humans. What about the environment? there was that. Then when we looked at the lower level prenatals, we noticed that a lot of the ingredients were not bioavailable. So what does that mean?   not everybody could utilize the nutrients that are part of those prenatals. So let's use folic acid as an example. When a prenatal has folic acid, that is the synthetic form of folate, which a lot of prenatals on the market, like if you go to a CVS or a Target, they have folic acid. And if somebody has the MTHFR genetic mutation,   They cannot utilize that folic acid. And so that nutrient is actually harmful to them. So for we natal, all of our nutrients are bioavailable. They're all in the methylated B form. like methyl folate or 5MTHF. So first of all, we have bioavailability. Second of all, comprehensiveness.   A lot of the prenatals on the market have 12-ish ingredients. We have 24 nutrients and we wouldn't leave one nutrient out. And it's very important because each and every one of our nutrients that are in our prenatal serves a very specific purpose for mom and baby and health of the pregnancy. And then you have...   dosages because even if something has 24 key ingredients like we natal the Dosages make a big difference. So using choline as an example choline We natal has 400 milligrams choline is crucial for baby brain development and the research shows that a pregnant woman needs 450 milligrams and a lactating woman needs 550 milligrams the average   Choline intake in the American diet, which you get choline from egg yolks is around 180. So we natal has 400 to be able to support that postpartum mom and obviously the pregnant mom, but there are prenatals on the market that have 50 milligrams. Now this is crucial for cognition of baby, brain mass, baby brain development.   Michelle (13:15) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (13:22) And so we were like, we have to create a prenatal for us because what we were doing is we were taking that base prenatal. We were adding choline. We were adding vitamin D. We were adding folate. We were adding iron. And most women are not going to do that. Most women are not going to, you know, take 10 plus pills a day and spend all that money on   all of these nutrients. We were doing it because we were immersed in the research and we saw how important these nutrients were. But we wanted to create a product that made it simple and easy for women and men to take their prenatal. Our packaging is beautiful and the reason is, well, first of all, we love nice things, but also,   Michelle (14:15) Thank   Ronit Menashe (14:16) We   wanted it to be part of people's home, people's life. So they're not hiding their prenatals in their, you know, cabinets that they can take it every day because consistency, like everything in health and wellness, consistency is what's going to make the biggest difference. And so that's kind of from a high level. And then, you know, you asked me what's in the prenatal and we can geek out a little bit more on the nutrients and what they do.   But what's not in the prenatal is also a big, big key because a lot of supplements on the market have a ton of additional ingredients and those ingredients are harmful for fertility and just overall health. And so it's important. We always say it's important to look at the nutrition facts.   but also look underneath the nutrition facts like what else is in there that shouldn't be in there and we natal doesn't have any additional fillers. And we do that because we manufacture in smaller dosages. We're not manufacturing in mass. Our shelf life is only two years where it's not like some prenatals that their shelf life is forever.   which, you know, for us, we're fine. We're doing things in smaller batches. And, you know, from a business perspective, it complicates things, definitely complicates Vida's life because she's on the operation side of things, but we're doing the right thing for the consumer. And that's what matters to us the most.   Michelle (15:43) .   So I know that like for my patients, for example, I'll give them certain supplements, preparing, including a prenatal, but then I'll also add more supplements that I don't necessarily have them continue taking after they're pregnant. So some that are more like to beef up the quality of the eggs. Do you guys have different ones or is it like certain? Yeah.   Vida Delrahim (16:13) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (16:16) Yes.   Yes. So we have our foundation support, which is the prenatal for him and for her. That is the multivitamin for men slash sperm support. And for women, it's the prenatal that has key nutrients for before, during, and after. But for those who want to beef up their egg quality, and we could talk about the scenarios in which you would need this product or not.   Michelle (16:35) Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (16:44) We have a product that we launched this year called Egg Quality Plus, and it's five nutrients in one. So it's the five nutrients that we were taking after our miscarriage, CoQ10, NAC, PQQ, alpha lipoic acid, and L-carnitine. And what these nutrients do is they help improve egg quality. How do they do it?   Michelle (16:49) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Ronit Menashe (17:12) These nutrients are very specific nutrients that help improve mitochondria. We know that the three months before you ovulate, the egg that you ovulate with is going through all these processes that are very complex that require very strong mitochondria. So your mitochondria is like the battery of the cell. And if the battery is low,   that process is not gonna go well and you're gonna end up with chromosomal abnormalities. So it's important to quote unquote charge the battery before you start trying so that when that process does take place, it happens with no or limited errors, if that makes sense. So we recommend for women who are either older or maybe had recurrent miscarriages or   Michelle (18:00) Yeah.   Ronit Menashe (18:09) Just wanna know that they did everything possible in the preconception timeframe to take Egg Quality Plus with our prenatal, which the prenatal also includes nutrients that help improve egg quality like folate, vitamin D. By the way, 4,000 I use a vitamin D. I don't think any prenatals on the market have that. And then, you you talked about in the postpartum phase, like for us,   what was very important to include in our prenatal is iron because in the postpartum phase and in third trimester, a lot of women are very depleted from nutrients because you require more iron in that timeframe and just to help with postpartum recovery and all of those things. So our prenatal has iron in it as well.   So what we wanted to do with the prenatal is be able to simplify people's lives and give them a tool that they can use before, during, and after. Then if somebody wants that extra boost, they could get that Egg Quality Plus B4. And that's kind of the philosophy. We wanna make it simple and easy. And the other thing that I didn't mention is our prenatal dosage is three pills a day. And so...   Michelle (19:13) Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Mm   Ronit Menashe (19:31) We just don't think it's realistic to ask women to take eight pills plus per day for their prenatal, especially in their first trimester when they're nauseous and they're throwing up and they can barely stomach any food.   Michelle (19:41) Yep. yeah, for sure.   And then as far as the iron, I know there's many different forms of iron and some can cause constipation. So I just wanted to ask about that.   Ronit Menashe (19:53) Yeah, so the forms, we didn't get into the like real geekiness of our forms, but every single one of our forms are the best form that we can find. And we use a patented iron that doesn't constipate called ferrochell. And we do the same with some of our other ingredients, like our choline is microencapsulated. Every, our selenium is this like super special selenium.   Every single one of our nutrients is sourced from the best of the best because we feel like women deserve the best. This is such an important time in people's lives and the nutrients really make a big difference and can make or break your journey.   Michelle (20:43) I love that. I love that you're really putting attention to detail because it does make such a difference. And the thing is the thing, the reason why I'm asking also is just from my perspective as a practitioner, I'm always looking for supplements that can address so many issues. And what I find myself doing is getting a bunch of different things and then having to give so many different supplements and so many different bottles. So I love the fact that you guys have   this really like thought out. It's really nice.   Vida Delrahim (21:16) Well, that's essentially what   Ronit was doing with me when we were on this journey together. She was AKA my doctor. And she's like, look at all the research shows that you need add iron you add this and so it ended up being I don't know Roni at some point I swear it was like 1215 maybe capsules because of all the additions some of it was drops. I could not keep up Ronit was a champion at taking supplements she could like down 10 at a time. I was nursing a couple meal   Michelle (21:41) Yeah.   Vida Delrahim (21:43) And of course   I wouldn't even comply. And so that was when also the idea of we need to like the ease and simplicity is so important. We're all busy, but we want to know that we're giving our body the best nutrients. I had guilt about not taking enough because I literally just couldn't down pills as quickly as some people can. And so the fact that we're able to get these 24 quality bioavailable ingredients into three capsules took us years. And we're so proud of that because it is the nutrient density of six to eight capsules in three.   And so that's what we were doing. We realized it wasn't feasible for everybody. Not everyone is at a road who can just chug them along. We realized this world had to be reinvented.   Michelle (22:23) yeah, for sure. Well, this is great. mean, lots of great information. I'm looking at your website right now, actually. Yeah, you guys definitely, it looks like you guys did a lot of research and you also have a blog, which is great. Cause I think it's so important to educate people that are on this journey.   Ronit Menashe (22:44) Well, that is exactly what we didn't have. It's so hard to reliable information that you can trust. And so we have an amazing blog and we put out so much great content on literally any topic under the sun from what to do if you just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes to, okay, how do you create a clean nursery to you know how to you know the fertility crisis you know we span everything on the blog and we share about it in our newsletter and we have an amazing guide with nine preconception tips if your listeners want to go to we natal.com slash guide they get our free couples guide and it's a really great starting point and a lot of the things that couples could do to support their fertility is free it doesn't have to be like   complicated or fancy. It's a lot of like free things. And so that guide is a really great resource.   Michelle (23:50) Awesome. Well, this is great information and you guys, this isn't a sponsored episode. It really is me wanting to find out more because there are amazing new things out there. And I think that it's important to hear all the different perspectives and really get it from the founders. So thank you guys so much for coming on and for people who are looking to learn more, how can they find you guys?   Ronit Menashe (24:19) They on we natal.com our website on social. We're very active and that's where we also share a lot of the new research at we underscore natal. And also we're happy to hear from your listeners. Anybody has questions or needs help or needs us to point them in the direction of some something or some article they can DM us at our, on our Instagram where we're most active.   Michelle (24:49) Awesome. Well, I loved this conversation and I loved all the details and the nerdy aspects of it because for me, I really liked the breakdown. think one thing that I find is that you want to find the smartest audience. It's usually a fertility audience. They're so smart because they do so much research on their own health and they really look into much more than the doctors give them. so,   So I know that they like to find out really detailed information. So thank you for that. And thank you so much for coming on today.   Vida Delrahim (25:26) Thanks for having us. We're excited to support you and your community.   Michelle (25:31) Awesome.   Ronit Menashe (25:31) Thanks, Michelle.

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? What You'll Learn: • The MTHFR gene mutation—and why it's quietly affecting millions • Anxiety, ADHD, and depression—why these disorders start in your cells, not your brain • The gut-brain connection—how your microbiome controls your mood • Why your “healthy diet” might be hurting you (and what to eat instead) • How nutrient deficiencies are passed from mother to child—and how to stop it • The truth about homocysteine—the blood marker that could predict your lifespan • Why most people are living at 50% capacity—and how to get your energy back Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Gary Brecka's Website: https://bit.ly/4hlfyti • Gary Brecka's YouTube: https://bit.ly/3E3Aaba • Gary Brecka's Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PNsgFe • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com • The Mold Movie!: https://moldymovie.com/ SPONSORS: -BON CHARGE | Go to https://boncharge.com/ and use coupon code DAVE to save 15%. -Qualia | Go to https://www.qualialife.com/dave15 to get an additional 15% off subscriptions.

Dr. Lafferty discusses Bobby Kennedy's confirmation and his compelling plans to channel significant research funding into natural medical approaches. We venture into the intricate world of genetics, examining how variations like MTHFR affect vitamin processing, with profound implications for conditions such as autism. Through our conversation, Dr. Lafferty emphasizes the value of whole foods in obtaining essential nutrients and warns of the risks linked to synthetic vitamins, particularly for those over 40, where inflammation becomes a significant health concern.A journey through the fascinating role of whole food vitamins awaits as we unravel the benefits of consuming entire foods over isolated compounds. Discover the magical synergy between nutrients—how cholesterol, vitamin D, magnesium, and K2 work together for optimal wellness. We'll also reflect on the historical use of whole food sources, like cow liver, and discuss how the standard American diet's acidic nature impacts our health. High doses of isolated vitamins might seem beneficial, but could they miss the mark for long-term health?We challenge conventional views on disease etiology and treatment, emphasizing the crucial role of gut health and acidity balance in autoimmune diseases. Dr. Lafferty shares insights into the interconnectedness of cholesterol, autoimmune conditions, and gut bacteria, highlighting gut flora's role in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. We'll also explore alternative treatments for cancer and the urgent need for healthcare freedom, allowing individuals to explore options without regulatory barriers.

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.

When the Left Brain & Undermethylation Meet Beauty Filters

Holistic Psychiatry Podcast

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.

The liver is an organ that does many important things for the body, from reducing inflammation to detoxifying damage from inflammation. To support the liver, one should consume foods that support antioxidant production. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation throughout the body and help protect the heart, brain, and digestive tract from damage. Stress is a major cause of inflammation, and the liver will work overtime to try to reduce it. Consuming foods that support the liver's functions is essential to maintaining good health. The liver produces antioxidants, such as glutathione and NAC (acetylcysteine), which have pro, neurogenic and neuroprotective properties. Glutathione is often given via IV, while NAC is a precursor to glutathione and can be taken as a supplement. The World Health Organization recognizes NAC as an essential medication. In order to support the production of antioxidants, the liver needs nutrients such as vitamins B6, B9, B12, B2, B3, lgutamine, and methionine. The liver also helps regulate hormones, which are signals sent to the brain in response to stress. When we wake up, our body starts producing different hormones as a result of being awake. The liver is a key organ when it comes to hormone regulation. It produces cortisol, which is released to give the body energy in the mornings. It is also responsible for the regulation of thyroid, adrenal, and other hormones. When a woman is going through pre menopause, it is important to assess her liver health, as it directly affects the regulation of hormones. Additionally, the liver has a direct connection to insulin and is crucial for insulin regulation, which can lead to a variety of diseases and disorders if it is not healthy.

We love talking about the liver, because if the liver helps regulate hormones, then all of a sudden, if your hormones become balanced, you become balanced. So taking a supplement like Liver Love, which I highly recommend everyone does, I take it on a daily basis because it has methylated B Nine in it.. It's going to help improve your life. Use code nurse dosa for 15% off. There's 120 capsules in it, and you can play around with the dosage if you want. Some people take one a day, some people take two a day. But keep in mind, if you go to two to three pills, it's a heavier detox. If you do four pills a day, you're detoxing and cleaning out that storage unit. So be prepared. It's going to be the best thing for you. Number three fast food leads directly to unhealthy liver. One in four U. S. Adults have a fatty liver, which means one in four US. Adults are eating way too much fast food. Cut back on it and replace that type of fat with healthier fat like avocado. That's a great substitute for your liver. Number four bad liver equals bad estrogen for all the women out there. If you want better hormones, especially better estrogen, take care of your liver. Take some sort of supplement to help support your liver, like knack or maybe even milk thistle. And get off the birth control, please. So to recap, I want you to take away five different tips to support your liver health. Number one your liver makes antioxidants. Find the recipe to make yours. Either get an acetylcystein Ivs or start taking glutathione. Number two the liver helps regulate all your hormones. Keep this in mind the next time you're doing blood work because you want to include liver hormone or liver enzyme panels. Along with your hormone panels, ask your practitioner to order it alongside. That's the reason why all of our vitamins are methylated. Because of people like me. Every single Msw nutrition vitamin has methylated factors in it to help support the mthfr gene because people like me need it in order to function better. And on a side note, we'll get into one episode later, but the mthfr gene and the comt gene are directly connected. So if a person has an issue with both, like we mentioned before, it puts them at higher risk for estrogen and dopamine issues as well as detoxification and hormone regulation. That's my genetics. So I'm at higher risk for things like diabetes because of insulin problems with the liver, right? I'm at higher risk for low testosterone and higher estrogen, which could put me at risk for cancer. And then, because all these issues are also involving neurotransmitter production and the brain, what does that look like for vascular dementia down the road for me and cognitive decline?. Anyone that has an Mthfr issue needs to take methylated vitamins in order to support this gene and its many pathways. Some of the methylated vitamins that you could take are methylated B Nine, five, MTHF. There's also methylcobalamin, which is B twelve, and my personal favorite, P five P vitamin B six. I take these on a daily basis along with something known as trimethylglycine or betaine in order for my methylation cycle to work correctly, because I cannot afford to have any Undermethylated liver.
