METHYLATION OVERVIEW
| All of the sections listed in your report before the Methylation section, will have an impact on the functioning of your Methylation Pathway.
If you’ve already optimised your Gastro-Intestinal health, lowered your inflammation, addressed hidden infections and immune system function, optimised all aspects of your detoxification and mitochondrial function, then you have already addressed your Methylation Pathway in a very significant way. Now you can start being more specific with the genes and cycles you need to support, going forward. You may need to start addressing methylation, to some extent, while addressing your GI health, if your Homocysteine is high at that stage. Please note that many substances commonly used to address the methylation pathway, may have an impact on the levels of your neurotransmitters. Your specific genotypes, listed under the NEUROTRANSMITTERS section, may influence how you react to these substances, as far as mood and cognitive processing are concerned. |

IMMUNE FACTORS & INFLAMMATION
Addressing your Gastro Intestinal health may already significantly decrease your inflammation, and also modulate your immune system response.
You can use the results from this section to manage and maintain your inflammatory response, with even more precision.
Please note that many substances commonly used to address systemic inflammation, may have an impact on the levels of your neurotransmitters.
Your specific genotypes, listed under the NEUROTRANSMITTERS section, may influence how you react to these substances, as far as mood and cognitive processing are concerned.

GI HEALTH OVERVIEW
This section of your report list genetic markers and your SNPs associated with Gut level inflammation.
Start with addressing this aspect of your wellbeing if your long term goal is to descrease inflammation, improve immune system function, detoxification, mitochondrial function, methylation and neurotransmitter balance.
One caveat to consider here may be raised levels of Homocysteine: homocysteine is pro-inflammatory and may impact your gut permeability.
High homocysteine may indicate the need for some level of methylation pathway support already at this stage. Talk to your Practitioner about strategies geared towards lowering your Homocysteine levels, if they are indeed high, during addressing of your Gastro-Intestinal health bearing in mind that aggressive and direct targetting of the folate pathway is not advisible in conditions characterised by high oxidative stress and inflammation. We wrote about this in our Report Introduction article.

SYSTEMIC EFFECT OF GUT INFLAMMATION
Modern science has validated what ancient healing traditions have known for centuries: the GI tract has a central role in chronic, systemic disease. Continue reading GI HEALTH OVERVIEW
