In this video, I’m diving into how a recent DNA test gave me life-changing insights into my health—helping me better understand inflammation, detoxification, and nutritional deficiencies. DNA testing has come a long way, and the newer tests can now sequence and test for so much more, which has been incredibly valuable on my healing journey.
✨ Key Insights From My DNA Test:
1️⃣ Detoxification Challenges:
I discovered that both my phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification pathways are affected. This means my body struggles to process and eliminate toxins effectively. To support my detoxification, I’ve made lifestyle changes like:
- Avoiding microplastics by drinking from glass or aluminum bottles.
- Limiting exposure to toxic fumes (like petrol) by delegating tasks like filling up my car.
- Reducing exposure to char-grilled foods and other environmental toxins.
✨ The Lesson: Control what’s within your reach—whether it’s your environment or your mindset. Small, intentional steps add up.
2️⃣ Inflammation Awareness:
Reducing inflammation has been a game-changer for my ADHD and PMDD symptoms. Research shows that cutting down on processed foods and sugars can significantly reduce inflammation, so I’ve focused on:
- A nutrient-dense diet.
- Omega-3 supplementation (1200mg EPA + 900mg DHA daily).
✨ The Results: I’ve noticed a significant improvement in focus, mood, and energy.
3️⃣ The MTHFR Gene Variation:
This discovery explained why standard B vitamins weren’t working for me. With the MTHFR variation, my body can’t process non-methylated forms of vitamin B. Now, I take methylated B vitamins like methylcobalamin, which my body can actually use.
✨ Did You Know?
It’s estimated that 40% of the population may have the MTHFR gene variation, which impacts how we process essential nutrients like folate and B12. If you’re experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty with focus, this could be worth exploring.
✨ Why This Matters:
These insights have empowered me to work with my body, tailoring my nutrition and lifestyle to my unique needs. From cutting out toxins to choosing the right supplements, I’ve been able to take actionable steps that have made a real difference in managing ADHD and PMDD symptoms.
💡 Takeaway:
DNA testing isn’t just about identifying problems—it’s about creating a roadmap to help you thrive. If you’re curious about addressing root causes, this could be the next step in your health journey.
