METHYLATION: OVER OR UNDER

 

One of the most common questions I hear when I consult with patients is do I think they are over or undermethylated?

It is believed that genetic mutations can lead to abnormalities of the methylation process, which can influence energy production, neurotransmitter production, detoxification and our immune system. Most commonly we look at the MTHFR gene and its interaction with other genes. In essence undermethylation could lead to lower levels of serotonin, making them more susceptible to depression. Overmethylation can cause symptoms such as ADHD and Anxiety.

Rather than self diagnose it is important to analyze all the genes from the 23andme test and look at the big picture. Supplements can be recommended that can assist with the methylation process. At times we will prescribe labs such as histamine, zinc and copper to get a clearer picture of methylation.  It can also be beneficial to look at the SAM/SAH ratio through Doctors Data for further analysis.

Testimonial

"Dr. Michael Veselak and his spinal decompression clinic have changed my life in a way I never would have thought possible. Now, five weeks after I started my treatment, I'm back to my very active lifestyle. During my entire treatment, I've been completely medication free. I couldn't have done it without Dr. Veselak. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone faced with surgery as their only option or people that have chronic neck and/or back pain. This is an option you cannot afford to pass up." - Umrao M.

A Comprehensive Approach

As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Veselak has found that successful treatment is the result of finding the source of the problem, and not covering the symptoms with medications.

With all chronic pain patients there is an underlying component that must be addressed if the patient is ever going to respond to conservative care and live a life without medications.
