When you’re looking at improving your health, it’s important to ask yourself:
“What changes can I make that will lead to a big leap toward optimal health, instead of just a small step?”
Because the truth is, not all health problems are the same.
It’s important to build a strong foundation, as everything else relies on that solid base.
Interestingly, our members follow this philosophy.
The other day, I wanted to see what reports our members used the most, and the top 3 are all health topics that I think are pivotal in setting yourself up for a long and healthy life.
Solve Your Anxiety And Do Things That Matter
Imagine you’ve cleared up your brain fog, and your creativity is through the roof.
But when it’s time to do something that actually matters to you, anxiety hits, and all your progress gets thrown out the window.
What’s the point of everything you’ve just “improved” if you can’t actually implement it in times of need?
Solving my anxiety is the biggest reason that I am who I am today.
It wasn’t until I fixed my crippling anxiety and depression that I started taking the next steps towards a better life.
The Anxiety DNA Report looks at over 800,000 genetic variants to show you your genetic risk and then gives you personalized diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to get rid of your anxiety.
In my case, Tryptophan was one of my top recommendations.
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in various protein-rich foods and serves as a precursor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation.
I carry the negative variants of both the HTR1A and HTR2A genes, which are key players in serotonin regulation. These genetic variants make me more susceptible to lower serotonin levels, which is where tryptophan comes in.
By targeting my specific genetic needs, I’ve been able to tackle the root cause of my anxiety with a supplement that works for me—something I wouldn’t have discovered without the Anxiety DNA Report.
Low Energy Can Keep You In Bed
What’s the point of “optimizing your health” if you’re always too tired to enjoy it?
Fatigue is our body’s way of telling us it’s time to rest and recover, but sometimes the signal is sent too often, or all the time.
Up to 40% of differences in people’s chances of having chronic fatigue may be due to genetics.
Which is why this report is extremely important.
I used to think I didn’t have energy issues and that this report wasn’t for me.
Until I decided to experiment with the top recommendation that it showed me, CoQ10.
The energy spike that I felt after adding it to my regimen made me realize that what I thought was “normal” was… well it definitely wasn’t normal.
The energy I have now enables me to pursue my goals and dreams in ways that I never thought possible.
Are you ready to find your new normal?
MTHFR and Methylation
This one’s more specific, as it focuses on a single gene, but the MTHFR gene is one of the most popular and researched for good reason.
This gene is involved in something called methylation, a process that affects almost every part of your body—from energy production to detoxification, brain function, and even how your body processes nutrients.
The most common MTHFR SNP is rs1801133 (C677T).
The ‘A’ variant of this SNP decreases the activity of the MTHFR enzyme.
People with two ‘A’ variants may have about 16% lower blood folate levels.
Unfortunately, I carry both negative alleles.
But understanding what variant you carry empowers you to take the next step and implement changes in your life that can counteract the negative impacts.
The MTHFR DNA Report helps you do just that with personalized recommendations that can help support your methylation process and, ultimately, improve many aspects of your health.
