Here’s what most people miss…

➡️ You’re not just detoxing through your liver.
You’re also detoxing through your bile.

And bile is your body’s natural 🚽drainage system for:
Estrogen metabolites
Histamine
Liver waste
Environmental toxins

🔄 Here’s how it works:
1. Estrogen and histamine both get processed in the liver
2. They’re packaged and pushed into bile
3. Bile moves them into the intestines for elimination
4. If bile flow is sluggish → they recirculate
5. Result = hormone buildup + histamine overload

This is called enterohepatic recirculation—and it’s a huge reason why people stay reactive and inflamed even on clean protocols.

⚠️ Clues your bile isn't moving:

- Nausea after fatty foods
- Greasy stools or constipation
- Bloating high in the abdomen
- Reactivity that worsens with hormone shifts (PMS, ovulation)
- DAO supplements stop working
- Estrogen symptoms despite detox protocols

If bile isn’t flowing → you stay inflamed, moody, and sensitive.

Your gut has a built-in security system 🚨
— the mucosal lining.

🚪It lets nutrients in.
Keeps toxins and pathogens out.

And it plays a role in histamine balance.*👀

But when this barrier breaks down?
Histamine can slip into your bloodstream — leading to systemic chaos:

-Skin flares
-Headaches
-Fatigue
-Food reactions

👋 That’s where zinc carnosine comes in.

Zinc carnosine is a unique chelated natural compound made by 🔗 binding zinc to the amino acid carnosine.

This combination creates a slow-release, highly stable form of zinc that sticks to the stomach and intestinal lining — ✔️exactly where you need it the most.*

💥 Here’s what it does:*
• Supports tight junctions
• Increases mucus production (yes, that’s a good thing)
• Supports healthy oxidative stress
• Can speed up healthy gut cell repair
• Helps block histamine-producing microbes from spreading
⠀
The result?*
⚡ A strong barrier
⚡ Less histamine absorption
⚡ Healthy resilience

Green tea can be recommended as a way to enhance natural focus.
But if you have a slow COMT gene, it might do the opposite.

Instead of calm energy, you feel:
• Jittery
• Edgy
• Snappy
• Wired but unfocused

❗This could be a sign that you have a slow COMT gene variation.

Why?
- Green tea contains catechols and a bit of caffeine
- COMT is the gene that clears catechols + dopamine
- Slow COMT = slow clearance = neurotransmitter overload

This is how a “healthy habit” backfires—because your genes don’t match the input.

👋 New here?

COMT is one of the Super 7 genes discussed in 📗 Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch (), epigenetics expert and founder of Seeking Health.

Understanding your COMT status is key to choosing the right supplements and lifestyle support.

Histamine responses aren't always about what you eat.

You tolerate sauerkraut one day.
Break out in hives the next 😅.

What changed?
Your stress load.

🦠 Histamine isn’t just from food

Your body makes histamine in response to:
• Emotional stress
• Intense workouts
• Mold or EMF exposure
• Hormonal shifts

These trigger mast cells to release histamine—no cheese or wine required.

🥵 And stress slows clearance
Your body breaks down histamine with the help of DAO enzyme.

But DAO is sensitive to:
• Cortisol
• Gut inflammation
• Nutrient depletion (copper, B2, SAMe)
• Methylation issues (like MTHFR, PEMT, or COMT)

❗So stress can both raise histamine and reduce your ability to clear it.

You’re not crazy.
You’re context-sensitive.
Same food. Different stress.
Different outcome.

Support the clearance and stress, not just the triggers.🫵

Let’s get into it👇

🔍 What’s a nootropic?

Nootropics = Strategically formulated blends of unique, natural compounds that support cognition—focus, memory, mental clarity, and mood.* Many of our formulas took over 3 years to create. 👀

But if you have genetic variations like COMT, they can do far more than just sharpen your mind.*

They can help balance your brain’s biochemistry right at the source.*😧

😵‍💫 Slow COMT → slower breakdown of dopamine/estrogen
• Irritability
• Overstimulation
• Trouble winding down
✔️ You need calm, not more stimulation.

😒 Fast COMT → rapid dopamine clearance
• Low motivation
• Mental flatness
• Reliance on sugar/caffeine

✔️ You may benefit from dopamine cofactor nutrients like L-tyrosine, vitamin B6, and Dopamine Nutrients.*

🧩 How nootropics Fit In

Our complex formulas are designed with specially sourced key nutrients (e.g., Ginkgo Biloba, Royal Jelly, Saffron) to support neurotransmitter balance and gene function*

❗They don’t force neurotransmitter changes

—they support your brain’s natural chemistry using cofactors your genes may be demanding more of.*

🫵 Your takeaway

Your COMT status (via tools like StrateGene®) helps you personalize your nootropic approach. Mood imbalance, stress, low libido/drive, irritability, or constant stimulation cravings are signs your dopamine pathway may need support.*

👋 Even if you haven’t tested your genes, your symptoms can guide you.

Digestive health is complex 😒

If you’ve tried everything but still experience symptoms or recurring histamine and digestive issues, your genes might hold the missing piece.

🔦 Let’s shed light on…

3 key genes that influence your gut lining, histamine balance, and inflammatory response.

🟡 PEMT ❗The most direct gene linked to gut barrier structure.

PEMT generates phosphatidylcholine (PC), a vital phospholipid that helps form the protective mucus barrier in your colon.

Low PC = ER stress + reduced mucin from goblet cells → weak mucus barrier → vulnerable epithelium.

MTHFR and PEMT are often closely tied 🪢; support with choline and methylation nutrients is non-negotiable.*

🦠 DAO and 🧠 HNMT Histamine-degrading enzymes.

DAO is produced in intestinal mucosal cells—low levels are both a sign and a cause of barrier dysfunction. HNMT handles intracellular histamine, especially in the gut, brain, and liver.

😅 Variants in either gene?

Expect higher histamine load → more gut inflammation, epithelial breakdown, and pain sensitivity.

DAO and HNMT both play a key role in histamine tone, which ❗directly impacts IBD-type inflammation and immune signaling.

🧨 Bonus: GPX2 (smaller player)
Part of the GST/GPX gene family, GPX2 is expressed in intestinal cells and guards against oxidative stress from diet and microbiota.
Think: protection from peroxide-induced cellular damage.

Lower GPX2 activity = higher COX-2 and mPGES-1 → colon inflammation risk.

Your gallbladder might be screaming.📢

You just haven’t traced the echo👂—because the root cause often starts upstream, in your genes.

Specifically: MTHFR and PEMT.

👇 Here's the Big Picture:
1. MTHFR reduces methylation
2. PEMT can’t make enough phosphatidylcholine
3. Cholesterol builds up in the liver
4. Bile gets thick → gallbladder starts to suffer
5. Liver gets fatty → gallbladder slows down even more
6. Nutrient absorption crashes → symptoms cascade

Lets break it down further..

🌟 MTHFR: The Master Methylator

When the MTHFR gene is "dirty" (due to SNPs or epigenetic triggers), your body struggles to produce ⭐methyl groups, those tiny, powerful compounds responsible for activating countless enzymes and pathways, including PEMT.

🛄One of PEMT’s jobs?

To convert phosphatidylethanolamine → phosphatidylcholine (PC) using ⭐methyl groups from methylation fuel.

So…Without efficient MTHFR → low methylation → low methylation fuel (SAMe)→ dirty PEMT.

✏️Remember..

PEMT is critical for:
-Packaging cholesterol into bile
-Preventing fat buildup in the liver
-Making bile fluid and slippery
-Keeping bile cholesterol levels in check (1:10 PC to cholesterol ratio is key)

If PEMT and MTHFR are constantly neglected this can result in,

😣 The Gallbladder Feeling It Last
Sludgy bile =
❌ Fat malabsorption
❌ Hormone imbalance
❌ Histamine intolerance
❌ SIBO
❌ Oxalate sensitivity
❌ Pain after meals
❌ Right shoulder tightness
❌ Deficiencies in vitamins A, D, E, K

You have over 20,000 genes. But 7 of them carry the biggest weight when it comes to energy, digestion, mood, hormones, and detox.

❗We call them the Super 7

These genes aren’t just pieces of DNA...

They’re control switches.💡

If they’re “dirty,” everything from your neurotransmitters to your bile flow can be affected.

Let’s break them down 👇

🥇 MTHFR
The “methylation master.” Impacts detox, inflammation, neurotransmitters, hormone metabolism, and even your ability to activate folate.

🟡 PEMT
Produces phosphatidylcholine — essential for bile flow, liver fat metabolism, and cellular membranes. Especially crucial if you're low in choline or dealing with an estrogen imbalance.

🦠 DAO
Supports the breakdown of histamine. A sluggish DAO means histamine builds up — think food reactions, headaches, nausea, and skin flares.

🙄 MAOA
Regulates dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine. Dirty MAOA? You might feel flat, crave carbs/sugar, often irritable, or swing between emotional highs and lows.

😵‍💫 COMT
Your body's clean-up gene. Helps you clear out dopamine and estrogen. When slow, it can cause overstimulation, irritability, and hormone imbalance.

👃 GST/GPX
Your detox protectors. If these genes aren’t functioning well, chemical exposures and oxidative stress accumulate fast. For example, smells/fragrances are sometimes triggering.

🫀 NOS3
Supports nitric oxide production. Key for healthy blood pressure, circulation, and oxygen delivery.

These genes don’t act in isolation.

They're part of pathways — methylation, histamine, neurotransmitters, and detoxification.

And their expression is modifiable.

When stool transit slows, estrogen doesn’t just leave the body…

It can get reabsorbed. 🥲

Here’s how it happens:

Estrogen is metabolized by the liver and sent into the intestines via bile. But when gut motility is sluggish—like in constipation—estrogen can sit too long in the colon.

❗The result? Estrogen gets reabsorbed back into circulation.

This can sometimes raise total estrogen load 🫢 and fuels symptoms often labeled as estrogen dominance—PMS, breast tenderness, irritability, mood swings.

But it doesn’t stop there…

🫁 Poor bile flow and gallbladder dysfunction can slow motility even more.
👋 Then comes SIBO—small intestinal bacterial overgrowth—which thrives in a slow-moving gut.

With impaired motility/SIBO:
→ The migrating motor complex stalls
→ Bacteria linger in the small intestine
→ Fermentation triggers bloating, gas, inflammation
→ Bacterial β-glucuronidase breaks down conjugated estrogen, leading to even more reabsorption

📉 Sluggish motility → Estrogen overload + SIBO
🔥 SIBO → Inflammation + impaired detox → More estrogen dominance

It’s a vicious loop. One that your gut might be trying to show you.

👇 COMMENT “STUCK” to learn about the 3 phases of detox—and why most people dealing with gut + hormone issues are stuck in Phase III. We’ll give you ideas on how to move forward—and what supplements can help.

What's really going on?

MTHFR cranks out methyl groups to fuel dopamine and estrogen production.

COMT clears the excess—but only if it’s working fast enough 🥵.

❗ When COMT is slow, you’re making more than you can clear.

What It Feels Like 😵‍💫

• Dopamine dominance → irritability, obsessive thoughts, trouble winding down, overstimulated

• Estrogen buildup → PMS, heavy or painful periods, fibroids, endometriosis

• Histamine sensitivity → headaches, skin flushing, food reactivity, seasonal responses
