If you’re pregnant with any of these conditions, please read this

Research shows that women with the following conditions typically have low glutathione levels:

• PCOS
• Gestational diabetes
• IVF treatments
• Fatty liver
• Obesity

Here’s the problem:

When you take Tylenol (acetaminophen), your liver produces a toxic metabolite called NAPQI. Your body relies on glutathione to neutralize it and protect your liver.

If your glutathione is already depleted from one of these underlying conditions—and then you take Tylenol—you’re further draining an already limited supply.

This is a compounding risk that can affect both your liver health and your baby’s developing neurological system.

What I recommend:

🚫 Absolutely limit your use of Tylenol during pregnancy if you have any of these conditions.

✅ Support healthy glutathione levels with Glutathione with Cofactors by Seeking Health. It provides a low, supportive amount that’s safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

👩‍⚕️ Talk with your doctor about your specific situation.

Most people think their health problems are random.

They’re not.

Out of 20,000 genes in your body, just 7 act like master switches.

You’ve probably heard of MTHFR and COMT—but they’re just part of a much bigger picture.

These Super Seven genes control critical functions: detox, inflammation, hormone balance, histamine processing, mood, and energy.

When even one gets “dirty,” symptoms can spiral.

But here’s the key: these genes are highly responsive to your environment, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and stress.

They’re interconnected and behave differently in every body.

That’s epigenetics.

Your liver’s unsung hero: Glutathione

Let’s talk about what really happens when you take Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Your liver breaks down acetaminophen through several pathways. One pathway creates NAPQI—a reactive compound that needs to be neutralized quickly.

Enter glutathione—your body’s master antioxidant.

It binds to NAPQI and helps your body safely eliminate it.

Here’s the issue:

Each dose of acetaminophen depletes your glutathione reserves. When stores run low, your liver can become stressed.

Why this matters for pregnancy:

Glutathione plays a crucial role in supporting healthy fetal neurological development. Maintaining optimal levels during pregnancy is essential for both mom and baby.*

Safe support for the whole family:

Glutathione with Cofactors by Seeking Health provides a low, supportive amount of glutathione that’s safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding—and safe for children too.

The lozenge format makes dosing flexible—simply cut into halves or quarters as needed for smaller doses or for little ones.

Same variant. Different outcomes.

That’s epigenetics in action.

Two people can have the identical MTHFR variant—one feels amazing, the other is dealing with fatigue, mood issues, and brain fog.

The difference?
Lifestyle.

→ High stress → Folic acid-fortified foods → Medications like nitrous oxide

These can all make an MTHFR variant a problem. But once you understand how to support your genes?

It’s not a big deal. It’s actually empowering.

I wrote Dirty Genes so you can take action—not live in fear. And even if you don’t have the variant, your MTHFR gene can still get “dirty.”

That’s coming in a future video—and it’s covered in the book.

Your genes aren’t your destiny. 🧬

Is Tylenol safe during pregnancy? The answer isn’t yes or no—it depends on YOUR body.
Tylenol (acetaminophen) has been used since 1955 and became routine in pregnancy by the 1980s—the same era when neurodevelopmental disorder diagnoses began rising dramatically.
Correlation isn’t causation. But the science is asking a different question:
What happens when a common medication enters a body that can’t safely process it?
Here’s what we know:
* 65% of pregnant women take acetaminophen during pregnancy
* Pregnancy INCREASES the toxic metabolite (NAPQI) by 80%—especially in the first trimester when baby’s brain is developing
* Glutathione (your body’s master detox molecule) drops by 36-87% during pregnancy
* Women with PCOS have 50% LOWER glutathione to start
* Women who conceived via IVF have 70-83% depleted antioxidants
* 89% of pregnant women are deficient in choline—critical for liver detox
This isn’t about fear or blame.
It’s about understanding that your metabolic context matters. The “safe dose” for one woman may not be safe for another.
If you have PCOS, IVF conception, gestational diabetes, gallbladder issues, or eat a low-protein diet—your body may struggle to safely process acetaminophen.
The toxic metabolite (NAPQI) crosses the placenta. It depletes your baby’s brain glutathione at doses that don’t even harm YOUR liver.
💬 Drop a comment: Were you told Tylenol was completely safe during pregnancy? Did anyone discuss your individual risk factors?
👉 Share this with someone who needs to understand their body’s detox capacity—especially if they’re pregnant, planning pregnancy, or supporting someone who is.
📌 Save this post to reference later when making medication decisions.
This is about empowerment through knowledge, not fear. Always discuss with your healthcare provider before making any changes.

You don’t always need a genetic test to know something is off.

Your body is already telling you. Long before any lab report does.

🚩 Mood swings that come and go
🚩 Unexplained anxiety
🚩 Chronic fatigue
🚩 Headaches
🚩 Blood sugar issues
🚩 Fertility struggles
🚩 Bad reactions to laughing gas

When enough of these stack up, it’s often a sign your MTHFR pathway isn’t working the way it should.

And here’s what most people don’t know

—even if you DON’T have a genetic variation in MTHFR, your enzyme can still be functioning poorly.

Lifestyle, diet, toxins, and stress all play a role.

Awareness is the first step. From there, you can start addressing the actual root cause instead of playing the guessing game.

📚 Want to understand this on a deeper level?

Pick up a copy of my book Dirty Genes on Amazon. The entire book is designed to help you get empowered, learn what’s really going on, and take steps to clean your dirty genes—whether you have the SNP or not.

👇 I want to hear from you: How many of these have you experienced? Drop a number below.

What was your “aha” moment when you realized something deeper was going on?

Share your story—and if this sounds like someone in your life, tag them or send this their way. This could be the missing piece they’ve been searching for. 💚

Your MTHFR enzyme needs riboflavin (B2) to function.

No variant?
You still need it.

Have a variant?
You need MORE.

Here’s how to support it naturally:

1️⃣ Start with folate-rich foods: liver, dark leafy greens, lentils, asparagus, broccoli, avocado

2️⃣ Need more support? Add riboflavin

3️⃣ Still need help? Add methylfolate WITH methylcobalamin—together

That last part matters. Take methylfolate without B12 and it gets trapped. They work as a team.

Support the enzyme first, then give it what it needs to complete the cycle.

“Stop taking your supplements every single day.”

Sounds counterintuitive, right?

But think about it—the definition of “supplement” is to add to what is MISSING.

If your gas tank is full,
you don’t keep filling it. ⛽

Same goes for your body.

✓ Wake up feeling great? Skip the multivitamin. ✓ Feeling sluggish or need support? Take it.

This is the Pulse Method—supplementing based on what your body actually needs, not on autopilot.

Your body is constantly communicating. The question is: are you listening?

👇 I’m curious—how do YOU supplement?

Every day like clockwork, or do you pulse based on how you feel? Drop your approach in the comments.

Feeling off after certain foods?

Your diet might be working against you.

High histamine foods and drinks can challenge your body’s ability to maintain comfortable histamine levels.

Common culprits include:
• Aged cheeses & fermented foods
• Wine, beer & champagne
• Cured meats & smoked fish
• Vinegar & pickled foods
• Citrus fruits & tomatoes
• Leftovers & slow-cooked foods

A groundbreaking study revealed something remarkable about prenatal nutrition. 🐭🤰

In “The Agouti Mouse Model: An Epigenetic Biosensor for Nutritional and Environmental Alterations on the Fetal Epigenome” (2010), pregnant mice were exposed to BPA, a common environmental chemical.

The results?

👉 Mice given key nutrients—including folate, B12, choline, and betaine—had healthy offspring with normal weight and coat color.

👉 Mice WITHOUT these nutrients had offspring with yellow coats, increased body weight, and other health challenges.

The takeaway?

Comprehensive nutrition during pregnancy matters.*

Optimal Prenatal by Seeking Health is formulated to support a healthy pregnancy with:

✓ Active forms of folate (no synthetic folic acid)
✓ Choline for developmental support
✓ Antioxidants for cellular protection
✓ Designed for those with complicated pregnancy histories*

Give your body the nutritional foundation it deserves.*
