In 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 Ultimate Human.
