Let’s see how this goes.

It’s accurate.

Vaccines amplify the immune system response significantly. Add in heavy metals, low vitamin D, low glutathione, acetaminophen, folic acid, high glucose….

Do genetic variants increase susceptibility? Absolutely.

If someone is genetically susceptible, then these factors mske it worse by far.

We didn’t have these issues 40 years ago but we did have the same genetic variants.

Bottom line is vaccines are harmful at the amount of doses they get at such a young age.

Am I an antivaxxer? It’s a negative term for someone who doesn’t support the use of vaccines.

Do your own research. I’ve done mine.

I’m pi**ed off.

Just get folic acid out of our foods. And supplements.

And something happened to cow milk. I’m not sure what but people shouldn’t be drinking it. Including A2 or raw.

I’m a fan of goat dairy products.

Throwing another pill at kids full of folic acid and who are chugging milk is a poor solution.

Look. I formulate my supplements using folinic acid which is what the active ingredient in Leucovorin.

I’m not telling you to run out and put your kids on 5 mg of folinic acid. It’s not right.

First, remove the obstacles to cure. First, do no harm. First, use the least invasive approach.

Remove folic acid.
Stop cow dairy.

Still no results?

Add in Folinic acid at incremental amounts starting low at 200 mcg and work up as needed if needed.

Using a lozenge of folinic acid is helpful as you can easily cut it and kids like the taste.

Don’t start here. Do step 1 and 2 first. No folic acid. No cow dairy.

If you need folinic acid, it’s available at Seeking Health in lozenges at 800 mcg per serving. Best to startow or headaches, irritability and insomnia may occur.

Leucovorin is strong. Be careful.

I’m happy to hear our government actually supporting health vs big pharma. About time.

I’m sharing here what’s not being discussed. Listen a few times so it makes total sense.

The more you lower glutathione levels during pregnancy, the more at risk your child is for neurological dysfunction.

That’s the main issue.

Support healthy glutathione levels during pregnancy.

Eggs, meat, protein, cruciferous vegetables, beets to name a few.

Use a real prenatal vitamin vs a gummy or 1 capsule a day version. Yes these are convenient but pregnancy isn’t a time for convenience. It’s a time for optimization.

Decisions you make right now during your pregnancy literally determine your child’s entire life.

Unfortunately, the information you get from most OB/GYN and midwives is insufficient.

Self education is key. Read books. Real Food for Pregnancy by and Starts with the Egg by

Support healthy glutathione levels with NAC after a meal. Just 1 capsule as needed. Not daily. Or use glutathione as found in Glutathione Plus Lozenges from Seeking Health as needed. Not daily. Just 1/2 a lozenge upon waking is great typically for healthy levels of oxidative stress.*

Understanding WHY the risk is there is Key.

Now you can make informed decisions.

Taking too much of a supplement often causes side effects.

This afternoon, my son wanted to go surfing. Forest fire smoke is settling in. He asked if he should take anything to prevent getting a headache from the smoke.

I said yes, and I tossed him a bottle of Glutathione Plus lozenges. He took a full lozenge and I headed to my office.

about 25 minutes later, he texts me and says he has a headache.

since he hadn’t left to go surfing yet, I figured it was from taking too much glutathione.

Disappointed, he says he doesn’t even want to go surfing because the smoke would only make his headache worse.

I challenged that thought because glutathione’s job is to support healthy detoxification of forest fire smoke pollutants.*

I sent my kid out into the forest fire smoke to get rid of his headache.

knowing biochemistry and understanding how supplements work is a very valuable life skill.

My job here on this planet is to help educate you so you know how to handle situations like these.

While glutathione is a fantastic supplement, nothing is fantastic when you take too much.

By my son breathing in forest fire smoke, he is literally using up the glutathione.

Now the trick is to make sure he does not surf too long because if he does, he will run out of the glutathione and the forest fire smoke will actually cause a headache.

I better send a text to him now.

❤️

If you need healthy support of detoxing forest fire smoke, Glutathione Plus Lozenges are the tool you need.* Start with 1/2 a lozenge. A little goes a long way since it is in lozenges form. They are available at seekinghealth.com .health

Ladies…after ovulation each month and then later in life as your estrogen levels drop for good around menopause, ADJD inattentiveness can really impact you.

As estrogen drops, dopamine drops.
As estrogen rises, dopamine rises.

Do you find yourself super focused right before ovulation? That’s when estrogen climbs.

Sound familiar? True for you?

Would you like some support here?

Dedicating time for yourself and your family is challenging with all that’s on our daily plates.

Work. Goals. Targets. Deadlines. Projects. Chores. Pets.

It’s hard committing time to a holiday but you gotta do it.

When my friends learn that I’m taking a vacation, they always ask, “Are you excited?”

Honestly, no. I’m feeling the pressure of all the things that are on my plate.

Then, get me a day in, and then I’m excited. I have to actually get away and immersed before I let go. Even then, it takes me a full week to relax.

We live once as far as I know.

Live fully.

Pull yourself out of your office and get in the car or airplane.

Go yourself or with friends or your family.

Go.

I’m back in tbe office July 28.

In the meantime, I want you relaxing, recharging and cleaning your genes.

Whst are you going to do? Where you going? With who?

And tell me…did this post help you get the push you needed to get your priorities straight?

Family first.

❤️

I love what I do. I love helping you and your family.

And I love helping myself and my family.

You deserve helping yourself, too.

Happy Father’s Day!

The absolute best gift ever is becoming a father.

I’m blessed with three amazing sons. Thank you, Nadia.

Over the last 10 years plus, it has been amazing knowing that I may have somehow contributed to supporting you becoming a father.

During book signings or conferences, I would often meet a man who became a father after learning how to support his fertility.

Helping your sons become healthy men is also an amazing privilege.

Thank you for your trust and support.

A big firm handshake from a father to a father. 🤝💪

❤️

PS. And thank you, Ladies, for influencing your man to get his s**t together. 😉

One of my most read articles is Methylfolate Side Effects.

If you’re using methylfolate and experiencing anxiety, joint pain, headaches, irritability, nerve pain, insomnia, then you’re needing to stop using methylfolate for a few days.

Then, reintroduce it at 1/4 the amount you were using. See how that feels.

Adjust as needed.

Staying on the sane dose for months to years is absurd for most people.

Careful.

I love methylfolate when I need it.

I use methylfolate after eating a big meat or high protein meal, when feeling a bit blue, when head feels heavy or when exercising.

I usually use a blend of folinic acid and methylfolate.

This blend is more balanced, supports more biochemical functions, and better tolerated.

This blend is found in all seekinghealth.com multivitamins and prenatals.

Can’t tolerate methylfolate at all?

I created methylfolate free multivitamins and prenatals for you. These have the MF after the name like Prenatal Essentials MF or Kids Multivitamin Chewable MF.

Testing can be helpful IF you have a trustworthy company that’s supporting you vs selling you supplements you don’t need.

It’s unreal how many countless people have informed me that they tested for MTHFR, were then sold a methylfolate and glutathione supplement. They felt great for a few days then bonked badly.

Stop tsking the folate if you are feeling like crap.

Insomnia, headaches, irritability, histamine reactions, joint pain to name a few.

I have two significant MTHFR variants. I’m happy I know I do. I don’t use folic acid, I eat well, don’t drink alcohol, avoid nitrous oxide, and supplement with folates as I feel I need.

A great resource for you?

Dirty Genes.

This book is empowering, informative, inexpensive and actionable.

If you comply, you’ll regret it.

If you stand up, and support others who stand up, then this crap will stop.

If you want it, get it.

If you don’t want it, say no and mean it.

mandates need to stop. now.

I got this text this morning from a colleague. I have known for over 10 years.

They know my philosophy, they have interviewed me multiple times for their podcast, been to conferences where I have presented.

despite all of this direct and indirect information entering their ears, I get this question.

After 15 years of working with genetic variations, my answer still remains steady.

So you ask yourself why do people keep asking me this question after they know my likely response?

People want the easy button.

People think they are broken if they have a genetic variation. You are not broken. You are different.

There are benefits, and there are disadvantages to having specific genetic variations.

Learn the benefits and learn the negatives by reading the book Dirty Genes.

Then you must implement what you are reading.

If you were reading the book searching for which supplements to take for your genetic variations, I inform you multiple times throughout the book to not be tempted to do this because it most likely will fail.

I want you succeeding.

Yes, there are nutrients that support a slow COMT.

Nutrients are support a slow COMT will speed it up and make it work more efficiently.

But what would happen if genetically they have a slow COMT gene variation but genetically they are presenting as a fast COMT?

They would get worse if they were supplemented based upon solely their genetic variation.

Read the book.

You will find out if you are epigenetically needing support in seven different genes. This is more valuable than knowing which genetic variation do you have.

It’s more important knowing what is actually going on with you right now versus what may be going on based upon a single genetic variation when you have 18,000 different genes working together.

❤️

Tag a friend who needs to hear this.

Share your experience supplementing based upon your genetic variation solely. How has that been working out for you?
