today’s solo episode, Gary takes you through his career journey
from assessing mortality risk for life insurance companies to
starting a wellness franchise. He’ll share his experiences applying
his knowledge of biomarkers and genetics to treat patients by
looking at the root causes of disease. He’ll discuss his decades of
research, striving to add not just years to your life but life to
your years. He’ll also explore the role of gene mutations and
nutrient deficiencies, focusing on the MTHFR gene mutation that
affects up to 44% of the population and the impact it has on our
body's ability to convert folic acid into methylfolate. He
discusses the wide range of issues a deficiency in methylation can
lead to, including anxiety, depression, and poor gut health. Listen
in as we unravel the effects of a gene mutation called COMT on
conditions like high blood pressure, hypothyroidism,
hypercholesterolemia, and estrogen dominance. Learn how nutrient
deficiencies can be the cause of common ailments, and how
supplementing with the right nutrients can help restore things like
estrogen balance. Join us on this journey towards becoming an
