Many of your health issues spring from a combination of overworked and underworked genes. These issues can often be resolved by supporting your genes—but you don’t know that.
So you don’t support your genes. Instead, you turn towards a pill. You swallow it and that pill tells your genes to shut up. The problem is still there. All you’ve done is tell your genes to stop waving the white flag.
Now, here’s the good news: If we reduce the amount of work that your genes need to do, then we reduce the chance that you will push them to their limits.
That’s where I come in. I’m going to show you how to find out which of your genes need extra support. And then I’m going to help you give it to them.

Nicotine. What’s your experience with nicotine? Which delivery method do you, or people you know, use?
I’ve used the 7 mg patch periodically with some success: easier to fast, better energy, thinking better, less snoring. Negatives: easier to get sick (covid symptoms).
When studying, I, and my sons, use Optimal Focus to support healthy acetylcholine levels. Helps us tremendously.
My wife says she does not experience benefits from Optimal Focus. She did experience some energy and focus from 7 mg nicotine patch periodically so she may need more dopamine support. The Dopamine Nutrients I formulated may be helpful for her. Need to use it again.
I’ve noticed high school and college kids heavily vaping and using pouches. Both terrible for them. They need to switch over to Optimal Focus and get away from vapes and pouches.
There is no nicotine deficiency. There is acetylcholine deficiency.
Look at the Acetylcholine levels matching various symptoms table in this document:

Affer looking at the table of Low, Healthy and High Acetylcholine, where are you or your kid?
Now look at the Dopamine levels and their symptoms:

Are you a blend of both acetylcholine deficiency and dopamine? More acetylcholine? More dopamine?

Peptides. Share your experiences with peptides.
Have they been life-changing for you? Helped your sleep, recovery, injury, hormones, mood, or energy? Or did you try them and feel worse, feel nothing, or stop because something felt off?
Did you get them through a doctor or compounding pharmacy, or did you buy them online? Did you test labs before and after, or mostly go by how you felt?
Did your practitioner explain the risks clearly? Did you know what was actually in the vial? Did you think about cancer history, autoimmune issues, insulin resistance, methylation, or long-term safety before starting?
Curious what people here have actually experienced. Good, bad, confusing, expensive, helpful, or anything in between.

Lab testing. Share your experiences with lab testing. Expensive waste of time and painful? Been transformative? I get the results back but my doctor doesn’t explain them well? I don’t know what to do with my results? I don’t know if I should stop taking or keep taking or add new supplements before my blood draw? I get my lab results back and change some things but 3-6 months later I check again and my lab results are the same?! I don’t know what to order and neither does my doctor? Other issues?

The reason your allergies are flaring up right now may not be what you think.
Most people blame pollen… without realizing their immune system was already overloaded before spring even started.
Poor sleep. Stress. Indoor toxins. Processed food. Chronic inflammation.
Then pollen shows up and gets blamed for everything.
That’s why two people can walk through the same park… and only one feels destroyed for the next 6 hours.
The real question isn’t: “Why is pollen so bad now?”
It’s: “Why is my body reacting like it’s under attack?”

Everyone thinks STEVIA is the healthiest sweetener. That’s the problem.
“Natural” became a shortcut for “safe”… but biology doesn’t work like that.
When I actually looked into the research, it flipped my perspective. Stevia doesn’t just pass through your body. In some people, it signals the kidneys to dump sodium, which means you lose water too. That can show up as more frequent urination, thirst, even fatigue.
Here’s what you need to know: the same ingredient can hit people completely differently depending on stress, genetics, and baseline health.
So instead of asking “Is this healthy?”
Ask: “How does this affect me?”

You’re not crazy… but people will tell you that you are.
Have you ever felt:
• Headaches after being on your phone
• Wired but exhausted at night
• Brain fog after screen time
And then someone told you “it’s just stress”?
In my latest video, I just broke down the biology behind EMF sensitivity and why some people feel it and others don’t.

Dirty Genes. Does the concept make sense to you? Too many people including health professionals believe that a genetic variant has to be ‘treated’.
A dirty gene is one that is not performing well. The reasons are typically: nutrient deficiency, nutrient excess, medication or nutrient interactions, environmental factors like chemicals or mold or infections.
A genetic variant may impact the gene function negatively but it’s not always negative.
What questions, insights or thoughts do you have regarding Dirty Genes concept? Generally. Not specific to a SNP.

Folate. What type of Folate do you feel best taking? Methylfolate or Folinic Acid? What did you notice once you stopped eating and drinking Folic acid? Share with others your experiences.
I have MTHFR 677+1298. 1 copy each. and MTHFD1 homozygous. DHFR heterozygous.
I do really well with folinic acid. More steady energy, clear head, better memory and immune function.
I use Optimal Man about 3-5 days a week. It uses a 50/50 blend of folinic acid and methylfolate.
Methylfolate I do really well with using before I exercise and after. I use the Methyl B12 with Methyl B12 Lozenges.
If I use methylfolate too much too often, I get headaches, muscle aches and joint pain plus get irritated. Folinic acid can do this too but it takes longer for these side effects to hit.
Folic acid makes me feel flat and dumb. Lazy. When I avoid the processed foods that have it, I don’t get those negative effects nearly as much. When I do experience them, I take a Brain Nutrients in the morning.
