All DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT
Discovering the Root Causes of Your Health Issues
Welcome to Functional Medicine Consulting
Functional medicine is a revolutionary approach that addresses the root causes of chronic health issues rather than just treating symptoms.

This personalized approach considers your unique biochemistry, digestive issues, and lifestyle choices and habits to create a tailored plan for restoring your health. By identifying the underlying drivers of digestive dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and chronic inflammation, functional medicine offers solutions that go beyond temporary fixes to promote lasting wellness.

The Methylation Map©
The Methylation Map, also known as the B Vitamin Cycle Map, provides an interactive look at methylation’s critical role in health. Developed over three years of research, it highlights crucial processes like DNA repair, detoxification, and cardiovascular support. Each yellow box represents a key gene and its enzyme, with clickable pop-up windows for more details. The map also integrates B vitamin cofactors, toxic inhibitors, and gene promoters that influence enzyme activity in the methylation cycle, offering a comprehensive view of how these elements work together to support overall health and well-being.
The terms "methylation cycle" and "B vitamin cycle" have evolved as research has deepened our understanding of methylation’s role. The "methylation cycle" refers to the biochemical process of transferring methyl groups (CH3) within the body, crucial for DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and cellular repair. The role of B vitamins, especially B9 (folate) and B12, became clearer as researchers found they are essential for converting homocysteine to methionine and donating methyl groups via SAMe. Recently, the "B vitamin cycle" has been used to highlight the vital role of these vitamins, particularly in individuals with MTHFR mutations, which impair B vitamin conversion and disrupt methylation.
This map is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to understand the impact of the B Vitamin Cycle on health. Contact me to learn how to access this unique tool at a fair price.
