In today's episode, we chat about methylation, why it is imperative to support, how to test if you have any SNPs, (you can find that testing here.)

It is important to look at toxin load, I use a Total Tox test for this.

It is also super important to look at inflammation and possible gut imbalances if a nutrient imbalances. I use an OAT test for that. 

I also discuss Folic Acid and how it interrupts your methylation. It is imperative to support with a methylated folate, something that is bioavailable to the human body and that doesn't block important receptors (especially if you or someone you know has SNPs or symptoms of methylation errors.) 

Follow me for more info on IG @dr.stacy.nd for more on these issues and the labs I run on my clients!
