Nutrigenomics and Epigenetics

Demystifying Methylation and Epigenetics

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • [03:00] As with genes, epigenetic factors can be passed on from parent to child.

  • [10:00] Explaining the SNPs associated with B12

  • [13:00] CBS takes the homocysteine down into the sulfation pathways where glutathione is made. If there’s a block in the CBS, we can get an elevation in homocysteine.

  • [16:00] Under methylation can lead to low levels of serotonin and, as a result, depression. Over methylation can cause symptoms like anxiety and panic attacks.

  • [18:00] The importance of diet and lifestyle, not just nutritional supplements.

  • [22:00] We are here to support our clients to get better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • It’s important to assist your clients in understanding epigenetics and how their day to day activities affect the expression of their genes.

  • It’s best to consider diet and lifestyle factors, not just nutritional supplements, when it comes to SNPs in methylation
