You don’t need a prescription to start helping your child feel better. You need your kitchen.

Go through every cereal box, every energy bar, every enriched anything — if folic acid is on the label, get rid of it.

This isn’t a trend. It’s removing a synthetic compound your child’s body can barely process.

Some kids respond in days. Others take longer. But the best time to start is right now.

This is the video I’ve been working on for a long time.

Folic acid is NOT folate. It doesn’t exist in nature. Your body can barely process it. And the unmetabolized folic acid building up in your blood? It’s blocking real folate from reaching your brain.

This affects everyone — not just people with MTHFR variants.

I break down the science, the history, what it means for pregnancy, and exactly what to do about it.

Not getting the results you expected from leucovorin?

It might not be the dose.
It might be what you haven’t addressed yet.

Before increasing leucovorin, talk with your doctor about these:

Low vitamin D → supplement to optimize levels

High homocysteine → support with B12, folate, glutathione, B2, and TMG

Low glutathione → replenish stores

Folic acid → remove it completely

Dairy → stop giving dairy products

Address these first and the leucovorin may actually start working

…because NOW it can get into the brain.

You may even need to talk with your doctor about lowering the dose.

Let’s talk about a gene most people have never heard of but one that’s affecting your

cells,
your digestion,
your hormones,
and your liver every single day.

It’s called PEMT.

PEMT’s job is to produce phosphatidylcholine: the primary compound that makes up your cell membranes AND your bile.

When you’re not making enough phosphatidylcholine, things start breaking down:

→ Cell membranes become weak and inflamed (every cell in your body depends on this)

→ Your gallbladder can’t release bile properly (bile needs phosphatidylcholine to flow)

→ Fat digestion suffers (no bile = can’t break down fats)

→ Hormones elevate (they’re not being cleared efficiently)

→ Appetite decreases

→ Fat accumulates in your liver (you need phosphatidylcholine to export fat out of your liver—without it, fatty liver develops)

A quick note: In the video I mentioned that 70% of methylation goes toward this. That’s actually the combined total for both creatine AND phosphatidylcholine production.

Phosphatidylcholine alone uses about 20-30% of your daily methylation.

That’s still a significant demand on your system.

Here’s what’s important to understand: PEMT and MTHFR are closely connected.

They depend on each other. So if you’re going to learn about one, you need to learn about both.

I cover both genes in depth in Dirty Genes which is available on Amazon for under $10 right now.

If you’ve been dealing with gallbladder issues, poor fat digestion, or fatty liver and can’t figure out why, this could be a missing link.

High-dose leucovorin is a band-aid.
 
The real fix?
 
Remove what’s blocking folate from reaching the brain.
 
Stop Dairy. Stop Folic acid. 

Vitamin D — raise it and
Glutathione — replenish it

Many children with autism or learning and behavioral challenges are told their folate blood levels are normal.

But that doesn’t mean folate is reaching the brain.

In this new video, I explain how folate transport across the blood–brain barrier can become impaired—a pattern seen in cerebral folate deficiency (CFD)—even when standard labs look fine.

I walk through why leucovorin is often prescribed, what can block folate transport, why folic acid isn’t folate, and why some children plateau if the underlying bottleneck isn’t addressed first.

This is about asking better questions

and understanding what the mainstream media missed

Your genes aren’t your destiny
but they do need some maintenance.

Think of your genes like a kitchen after a big meal.

Before you can make anything new, you’ve got to clean up first.

That’s the Soak and Scrub method from my book Dirty Genes.

THE SOAK
Stop adding to the mess. This means hitting pause on processed foods, reducing exposure to everyday chemicals (cleaners, fragrances, plastics), and giving your body a break from the constant input.

You can’t clean a pan while you’re still pouring grease on it.

THE SCRUB
Once you’ve stopped the onslaught, NOW you add nutrients back in to support healthy gene and enzyme function. This is where targeted nutrition actually works—because your body can finally use it.

Most people skip straight to the scrub and wonder why supplements aren’t working. The order matters.

Ever wonder why some days you’re sharp, motivated, and in a great mood and other days you’re irritable, foggy, and can’t focus to save your life?
 
Meet your COMT gene.
 
COMT has A LOT of jobs in your body.

And depending on how it’s functioning, you’ll experience very different symptoms.
 
When COMT is working too slowly:
• Irritability
• PMS
• Insomnia
• Headaches
 
When COMT is working too fast:
• Difficulty concentrating
• Poor motivation
• That “lazy” feeling you can’t shake
 
When COMT is working well:
• Motivated
• Stable, good mood
• Able to learn and focus with ease
 
These aren’t character flaws or things you just have to live with.

This is your biochemistry—and you can influence it.

I wrote an entire chapter on the COMT gene in my book, Dirty Genes, because understanding this one gene can be a game-changer for so many people.
 
The book is under $10 on Amazon right now.
 
Learn what’s actually driving your symptoms and what to do about it.

Many people are told their genes determine their health.

That belief is outdated.

In this new video, I explain how genes respond to inputs like nutrition, stress, toxins, sleep, and inflammation—and why symptoms often reflect genes under stress, not broken ones.

I walk through the seven master genes that regulate energy, mood, detox, digestion, hormones, and histamine, and how supporting gene function changes how the body responds.

This is about understanding mechanisms

not blaming DNA.

My new video on Autism, Pregnancy & Tylenol is live.

I walk through what the research actually shows
 
How Tylenol is processed during pregnancy, why responses vary so widely, and how genetics, nutrient status, inflammation, and detox pathways all play a role.

This conversation isn’t about fear or blame. 

It’s about understanding biology and making informed decisions.

Your genes are not your destiny.

Read that again.

The choices you make, and don’t make, very single moment shape how your genes function.

And how they function determines how you feel.

Eat something that doesn’t work for you?
Your genes respond.

Sleep poorly?
Your genes respond.

Get stressed?
Your genes respond.

Sometimes it’s not even your choice.

You get sick.
Something blindsides you.
You’re exposed to a chemical you didn’t know was there.

These things “dirty” your genes. That’s when symptoms show up.

Once you understand the connection between your choices, your exposures, and your symptoms, you can learn to CLEAN those genes.

And when you do?
Symptoms improve.

Will something else come along eventually? Yes. Life happens.

But the skill of knowing how to identify what’s affecting you and clean your genes? That’s yours forever.

I wrote Dirty Genes to teach you exactly that—and right now it’s under $10 on Amazon.

Reaching for Tylenol when baby is fussy?

Here’s some information worth knowing. 
 
A baby’s liver isn’t fully mature until around 2 years old

Meaning their ability to process certain substances is still developing.
 
Additionally, acetaminophen has been shown to deplete glutathione, an important antioxidant that babies naturally produce in lower amounts.
 
Gentle comfort options to explore with your pediatrician: 

- Breastfeeding 
- Lukewarm baths 
- Fresh air in the stroller
 
Nutritional support for breastfeeding mamas: 

- Quality prenatal with natural folates (folinic acid + methylfolate) AND 4,000 IU of Vitamin D3 → Optimal Prenatal has all of these 

- Glutathione with Cofactors Lozenge to support your body’s natural glutathione levels
 
This is education, not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider. 

-Should you need additional support, these supplements are available at seekinghealth.com with free shipping.

I break down what current research shows about Tylenol use during pregnancy, how the body processes it, and why context matters—without fear-based claims or oversimplified conclusions.
