Over 23% of North Americans are pharmacologically medicated for a mood disorder, yet 40% of these people do not respond their treatment. Furthermore, 86% of people on
mood stabilizers report at least one major side effect. Why are these statistics so high?

Autophagy is the body’s natural self-preservation mechanism for removing damaged or dysfunctional components within cells and recycling them for cellular repair. In doing so, it prevents DNA mutation and cellular damage that can lead to a variety of disease such as neurodegenerative disease, stroke, cancer and type II diabetes. In this lecture we will take a close look at the importance of autophagy and why so many people have difficulty accessing this important mechanism, even with fasting mimicking diets. You will learn how to use the GeneRx report to discover…

48% of adults in North America have clinically diagnosed hypertension. This number reaches 70% for adults over 60 and treatment most often requires 2 or more medications. Triggers for high blood pressure are numerous and include unhealthy eating, stress, insomnia, sleep apnea, kidney disease, vascular disease, inflammation and high aldosterone, all of which make targeted treatment difficult. In this video I will review triggers for high blood pressure and the genes that play a role in its development. I will explain how to use the GeneRx report to accurately target…

Parkinson’s Disease affects approximately 1% of the population. The exact pathophysiology remains unclear, which is one reason why pharmacological treatment only has a 50% success rate.  Evidence shows that oxidation of endogenous dopamine produces multiple reactive and toxic by-products including ROS, and that these by-products induce oxidative stress and degeneration in dopaminergic neurons leading to the development of Parkinson’s and neural degeneration.  Other causes include low glutathione levels and high dopamine with too few receptors, which increases dopamine endotoxicity.  Perfectly mimicking the symptoms of Parkinson’s is Parkinsonian syndrome, whose etiology…
