Have you been told your health problem is genetic? Ever wondered why some people in a family end up with an inherited gene being expressed in disease and others in the same family do not? It’s a well-known fact that environmental conditions, lifestyle and even nutrition influence how and when your genes are expressed. However, did you know that there are ways to actually change that? Ways to prevent genetic expression or recover from it?
At birth we come into this world with particular genes handed down from our parents. Outside factors determine whether or not those genes will be expressed in handed-down diseases. However, new scientific discoveries are being made every day that help us to optimize or inactivate our genetic expression! This is powerful information! It is just one of the reasons that Methylation is becoming a popular alternative treatment.
Epigenetics change the way a gene is expressed to prevent that expression from resulting in disease. This includes DNA methylation which is responsible for sustaining the pathways in your body that keep you alive and keep you healthy. This is critical for neurotransmitters, biochemical pathways and peptides. How does this benefit you? With proper methylation, your health is dramatically improved—quickly! 5MTHF supplementation was developed for converting folic acid into usable forms with added Vitamin B; a critical factor needed when taking 5MTHF. Without it, the methylation changes can occur too quickly for the body to adapt with ease.
Using dietary nutritional compounds and/or environmental and lifestyle factors can be a disease preventative when you understand methylation properly. It also means those genes currently expressing disease can be inactivated. Recent studies show that even supplements as simple as Goldenseal induce epigenetic changes that affect the expression of 2,000 genes and can selectively activate or inactivate gene expression. With Kinesiology you can get specific information for your body as to what supplements inactivate a genetic predisposition that could result in future disease. That’s exciting!
More supplements are being developed that activate or inactivate even transgenerational gene expression and we are seeing much faster recovery for our clients than ever before! This means you can improve your life and be on a healthier path by using Kinesiology and paying attention to methylation factors.
