It was a journey! Started with a heavy metal detox, took progesterone cream, supported the liver, and took some supplements like DIM. Liver health is essential
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for this video. COMT ++ for myself and son. Doing nearly all that you mentioned but was wonderful to have it explained.
@@JoanneKennedy I have a strategene report for my son and have the pathway planner. Trying to connect all the dots so wonderful seeing another Aussie working with strategene. Might have to organise an appointment to have a chat. It's a lot of homework. But explains so much.
What does adequate meat consumption vs excessive meat consumption look like? A lot of articles I have read say avoid l-tyrosine which is basically all meat in existence. Is there a portion to body weight calculation we are missing?
If you're sensitive to it you may need to restrict doses to once or twice a week until your body catches up detoxifying itself. Also keeping the dose near 100% daily value. I'm struggling a bit too but positive changes are unfolding.

Thank you! I have both mutations and have estrogen dominance and histamine issues.
What do you do?
I have the same problem

Lana Jane West the gene reports are interesting but it all comes down to working on diet, gut, nutrient deficiencies etc etc
Wonderful...thank you 😊

Supplements for slow comt?
Does this apply to men with MTHFR as well? Thanks!
Is also the Cyp21 involved ?
Wonderful video with a wealth of information. Thank you! 😁🙏
Thank you from the San Francisco area
This information is so good.
I think around 9:30 there may be an error? +/+ you said was slow and -/- fast, but I think it’s the reverse right?
What are your thoughts on folinic acid for those of us who are sensitive to methylfolate?
If you're sensitive to it you may need to restrict doses to once or twice a week until your body catches up detoxifying itself. Also keeping the dose near 100% daily value. I'm struggling a bit too but positive changes are unfolding.
Great video! Thanks so much!
Thank you Wendy. I’m glad you liked it!
You're very weclome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Which company would you recommend for gene testing?
What about man that have the MTHFR?
This was so helpful. I can’t believe I’ve only just found it! Thank you 🙏
Very interesting and helpful: Thank you so much for doing this!!! 💖 Is there a way to contact you privately, perhaps by e-mail...
