Water-Soluble: from Vitamin B12 to Vitamin C
Individuals with certain SNPs in the MTHFR gene may have difficulty converting folate (B9) into its active form, methylfolate
Stress Chronicles: Cortisol
Cortisol levels tend to be highest in the morning and lowest at night, following a natural circadian rhythm
Hypo to Hyper – Thyroid Stories
Thyroid hormone metabolism can be impacted by iodine-related genes, such as TPO
Creatine for Muscle Strength
People with GAMT SNPs may have problems with usage and storage of energy in the muscle, affecting muscle function and athletic performance
Cardio 101: Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, alongside smoking and abnormal blood lipid levels are the 3 major risk factors for cardiovascular disease
Mitochondria: from Energy to Brown Fat
Amino acids yield lower amounts of ATP than glucose as they enter the energy production cycle later in the process
Digestion: Omega, Gut, Fat & Bile
The presence of high levels of fat in the diet can inhibit the absorption of carbohydrates, while high levels of fiber (non-digestible carbs) can interfere with the absorption of fat
Phase 3 Detox: ABC Transporters
Our genetic and metabolic optimization approach: what is your starting level, a.k.a. your genetic make-up, and what is your ongoing metabolism, a.k.a. your epigenetic influences or how you express your genes
Fasting – Recycle – Autophagy
There are two main pathways involved in nutrient availability that inhibit or suppress autophagy: cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin)
