Is Autism a Mitochondrial Disorder?
In the 1970s and 1980s, about 1 in 2,000 children had autism. In 1994, it was 1 in 150. Today, 1 in 68 has autism and 1 in 6 in the US has a developmental disability. The first born boys have the highest risk. That is a dramatic epigenetic change. Is autism a...

The Genetic Clues to Longevity In the book, The Blue Zones, National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner and a team of researchers studied the lifestyle and dietary habits of the world’s longest-lived people in Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica;...
Why DNA Nutrition Tests are Instrumental for Pregnancy
According to David Williams, principal investigator for the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, “DNA expression can be altered at any age, but the fetus is especially susceptible because these pathways are very active as tissues grow and...
Does Saturated Fat Cause You to Gain Weight Due to the APOA2 Gene?
The APOA2 Gene, Saturated Fat and Weight Gain I have received questions regarding the latest email from 23andme linking a certain gene called APOA2 to a higher BMI (body mass index) for the GG genotype when the consumption of saturated fat is over 22 grams. The APOA2...

How Vitamin C Helps Prevent Melanoma
A study came out in 2015 that was able to show how vitamin C can epigenetically reprogram melanoma cells. While this study uses a lot of complicated jargon, I will attempt to simplify it. Why We Have a High Vitamin C Requirement Approximately 99% of animals produce...
Is Glutamate a Neurotoxin? Understanding the Glutamate Pathway
Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter, helping focus, cognitive function, and productivity. GABA is the brake, providing a calming respite from glutamate. When there is an imbalance of glutamate being too high, it becomes neurotoxic, whereas glutamate levels...
