Wholistic Methylation

"Optimize Your Genetics"

​

Using the latest research into our genetic makeup has given us great insight into the true causes of chronic diseases. Armed with this information, we can begin to help our bodies work like they are supposed to. We do that by giving it support where we may be lacking nutrients due to genetic variants.  This simple concept has dramatic effects on overall health. 

 

Through focused genetic and kinesiological testing and the application of Wholistic Methylation, we can:

 

• Identify the presence of SNPs in key places in the methylation cycle.

• Use the right supplements to control how these genes act, in effect bypassing the genetic mutations to optimize methylation cycle function.

• Benefit from all of the necessary tasks performed by a functioning methylation cycle.

• Reduce (and repair the effects of) neurological inflammation.

• Over time, correct imbalances, relieve symptoms, and optimize a person’s potential for good health

 

Methylation is central to such critical reactions in the body such as:

 

• Repairing and building RNA and DNA

• Immune function (how your body responds to and fights infection)

• Digestive Issues

• DNA silencing

• Neurotransmitter balance (mood stabilization)

• Toxic Metal Detoxification

• Inflammation

• Cell Membrane fluidity and function

• Energy production

• Protein activity

• Myelination

• Cancer prevention

 

When the methylation cycle is blocked these important roles are not carried out properly.  Two of the most significant effects of a methylation cycle block are that neither the immune system nor the detox system can operate properly. If the methylation cycle remains blocked for an extended period of time, infections and toxins will build up in the body.

 

A simple genetic abnormality in the methylation pathway, compounded with further assaults from environmental and infectious agents, can lead to a wide range of conditions including cardiovascular disease, neurotransmitter imbalances, cancer, diabetes, abnormal immune function, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS, cognitive dysfunction in patients with dementia, neurological and psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Down syndrome, autism, neural tube defects, chronic inflammation, repeated miscarriages, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, carcinogenesis, etc. have been associated with aberrant gene methylation patterns in the vascular tissue and peripheral blood cells.

 

Because it’s involved in so many processes, inefficient function or mutations along the methylation pathway can result in a wide range of conditions, including the following:

 

• Aging

• Allergic reactions

• Alzheimer’s

• Anxiety

• Arthritis

• Autism

• Bipolar disorder

• Bowel dysfunction

• Cancer

• CFS/FM

• Chronic bacterial infections

• Chronic viral infections

• Cytoskeletal breakdown Diabetes

• Down’s syndrome

• Heart disease

• Herpes

• Huntington’s disease

• Language and cognition impairment Leaky gut

• Metal toxicity

• Miscarriage

• Mitochondrial disease

• Neural tube defects

• Pneumonia

• Psoriasis

• Renal failure

• Rett’s syndrome

• Schizophrenia

• Seizures

• Sleep disorders

• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

• Thyroid dysfunction

Treatment Protocol

 

Genetic Testing 

AncestryDNA offers a simple inexpensive genetic test (done through saliva-$99). You can order online by clicking Ancestry.com and they will mail you the kit with collection instructions, and then once returned the results are received in approximately 6-8 weeks.  We can begin your individualized nutrient supplementation protocol before the results are in.  After results are in we will put the information into a couple templates to extract the information that is clinically relevant. (The cost of these is variable).

 

First Visit:  We will use results from your genetic testing (if available) and kinesiology to determine your exact nutrient needs and amounts of supplements needed to compensate for your genetic variants. Remember, you have had a lifetime of not being able to absorb certain nutrients, so repair and detoxification will take a bit of time. However, progress is generally seen quickly in certain symptoms such as depression, focus, memory and fatigue. This first visit can take from 1.0-1.5 hours to take a history, go over your results and design a health program for you.

Because of our very unique genetics and environmental exposure levels your supplement program must be customized to fit your needs. We are trying to repair cellular damage, balance nutrient deficiencies, allow your body to detox, allow your immune system to function normally and repair neurological damage. The good news is that through this program it is possible to address all of these areas and rebalance these systems. However, this process takes time and patience. Success can be achieved by slowly correcting each imbalance and beginning to rebuild the body.

 

Follow-up visits: On your follow-up visit we will re-evaluate your program and make sure we are not missing any ingredients to get your body functioning normally again. These visits can run from 15-45 minutes depending on your situation and how you are tolerating your treatment protocol.
