I created this one hour long presentation in order to help people to understand inflammation and epigenetics.

Inflammation is a major driver of cancer, so anything we can do to learn about how our body reacts to inflammatory triggers, how it detoxifies, whether we do or don’t methylate are all extra tools that can help us in our fight against cancer and ideally, in prevention.

Epigenetics is the science of how your diet, lifestyle and nutrition (your environment) affect your genetic expression. If you have a fast gene for inflammation for example and you eat seed oils, sugar and fast food daily and don’t exercise, you are a strong candidate for chronic inflammation.

Part of my work as a Naturopath and Nutritionist for Oncology has included really digging into understanding biochemical processes like Methylation.

So far, i’ve interpreted these genes both face to face and in writing for thousands of people and had some incredible results. Here is my favourite testimonial (there are lots of them):

I took a methylation DNA test with the follow up zoom call with Amanda King and written report back in February this year. I thought it pointless to review the company at that time as I was yet to embark on the various recommendations that were made, specifically the suggested supplements and dietary changes.

I make no apology for the length of this review, as it is important that you know where my health was and where it is now, because otherwise there is no context.

My problems were mostly with my knees and feet. I am an 11 stone 3lb slim built 64 year old male, so this was not caused by being overweight. I have always enjoyed good health and an active life. I don't eat junk food, I enjoy a beer.

For at least 12 years I have had pain in my knees on a daily basis causing me to develop an abnormal, almost limping, walking style. Then about 5 years ago I started getting what I think was Planter Fasciitis every 3-4 months, which lasted anything from two to six weeks.

Combined with the existing knee problems, this made going about simple everyday tasks - getting out of bed, sitting down, standing up, going up and down stairs - painful, difficult, and depressing because I wondered if I would ever be well again and not have to guzzle painkillers and ibuprofen every single day.

Two GP's diagnosed arthritis in the knees, and gout in my feet. For six weeks from November 2023-January 2024, I could not walk (or rather, limp gingerly, slowly and painfully) without the aid of two crutches. I had to go up and down the stairs on my backside.

Now, six months on from commencing the new supplement and dietary regime recommended, I truly am a new man - Yes, it is a cliche, but it is how I feel.

It really is staggering how my body has recovered. I genuinely feel 20+ years younger. I have not had any aches or pain anywhere in my body for six months. I have corrected my odd walking pattern. The expectation of pain when walking was so deeply engrained in my brain that it has taken me a few months to train myself to stand up straight and walk normally without fear of pain. I always was a fast walker, and am now back to being so after so many years of having to walk carefully to avoid pain. It's incredible how this has changed.

Last month I spent two weeks doing some landscaping work in my garden without any help. This involved digging, shovelling, wheelbarrowing and a lot of bending up and down. The thought even of being able to sink a shovel into the ground 6 months ago would have been laughable.

I am perplexed at the GP's diagnosis of arthritis. Where has that gone? I don't think supplements are a cure for it; it seems to me I never had it in the first place. Maybe I did have the gout; but that and the planter fasciitis are now a distant memory.

I feel absolutely great; it is as if my knee joints have been magically renewed. I cannot recommend the methylation DNA test and the follow up offered by this company highly enough.

Gary Brecka made Methylation famous in 2023 when he began to talk about and sell his own basic methylation report with 10x. He began to talk widely online about 5 major genes which he claims you need to be aware of. These genes are MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, AHCY and MAT1A.

Now while he is partially right, it’s grossly oversimplified and in fact there is a heck of a lot more to methylation than analysing just these 5 genes.

In my practice I work with a methylation report that has around 70 genes and I interpret what that means for that individual. The interpretation is personalised so no one protocol is ever the same. With an actual written report or on a call with me, you don’t get cast off into the void with abstract information with no idea what that actually means for you. The personalised interpretation is crucial to making this data meaningful for you.

If you want your own methylation report then we sell them at a great price, just £399 (plus postage depending on your location) we ship anywhere in the world. Included in this price is 30 minute call with me personally to interpret the results or you can choose the written report instead. With both of these options, I give you all the information you need about the right supplements for you, that you personally need based on your genetic mutations.

This is the ultimate in biohacking!

I hope you enjoy this presentation that I created and presented for The Metabolic Health Day in September 2024. You can find out more about this year’s conference using this link.
