144 - Your Menopause and Perimenopause Questions Answered w/ Dr. Mary Claire Haver

In today’s episode, Dr. Lynch and I discuss the significance of the MTHFR gene, which is responsible for producing the most active form of folate in our bodies, known as methylfolate. Dr. Lynch emphasizes the importance of methylation, a process that methylfolate supports, which is crucial for various bodily functions including DNA repair, detoxification, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
A significant portion of our conversation revolves around the detrimental effects of folic acid, a synthetic form of folate that can actually worsen health issues for those with MTHFR variants. Dr. Lynch provides compelling evidence on why we should avoid folic acid and opt for natural food sources of folate or supplements with methylfolate.
We also touched upon the relationship between MTHFR variants and mental health. Dr. Lynch shares how imbalances in methylation can lead to mental health issues and the importance of maintaining optimal levels of homocysteine for mental well-being.

Biohacking involves changing both the environment around you and inside you to optimize your health and performance.

149 - Ways to Lose Weight and Feel Better with Biohacking  w/ Dave Asprey

In today’s episode, Gary shares some eye-opening insights on human biology, the importance of addressing nutrient deficiencies for optimal health, and so much more. 

Gary emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies in the body. Instead of blindly supplementing, it's crucial to understand what raw materials your body needs to function optimally. By correcting deficiencies, you can see significant improvements in your overall health and well-being.

We then discuss the significance of genetic methylation testing to identify individual deficiencies and conversion issues in the body. By understanding how our bodies process nutrients, we can tailor our supplementation to address specific needs effectively.

By shifting the focus to basic human physiology and addressing deficiencies, we can potentially improve overall health outcomes.

If you've ever wondered why traditional approaches to health may be falling short, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now to learn more about how to reach your body's full potential and live a healthier, happier life.

152 - Is Blood Sugar Imbalance Causing Your Kids Temper Tantrums? w/ Kelly Leveque

In today’s episode, Dr. Pardee and I discuss all things related to blood work and the importance of various tests for our overall health. 

Dr. Pardee emphasizes the significance of blood work as a window into our body's internal health.

Tests like the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel and Lipid Panel are crucial in detecting early signs of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. 

She then sheds some light on homocysteine. Homocysteine levels can provide valuable insights into our body's methylation cycle and potential deficiencies in essential vitamins and cofactors. Elevated homocysteine levels have been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases and cognitive impairment. Testing homocysteine and addressing any imbalances can help reduce these risks.
