Most people have never heard of SOD.
That may be one of the biggest gaps in the conversation about cellular health.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one of your body's primary antioxidant enzymes.
Its job is to help neutralize superoxide r
MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets
If you have an MTHFR variant (C677T or A1298C), you may constantly battle fatigue, sugar cravings, and energy crashes — even when you’re “doing everything right.”
In this video, we break down exactly why this happens:
How MTHFR/methylation issues impair ATP (energy) production at the cellular level
Why your body desperately reaches for quick glucose
The vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes → insulin crashes → more cravings & fat storage
The downstream effects on antioxidants, DNA repair, and overall energy
How to finally break the cycle:
Targeted supplementation that fills methylation “holes” (what we learned from 15–20k intracellular tests)
Why our MTHFR Daily multivitamin was specifically formulated for this
The power of CMA intracellular testing
Intermittent fasting (12–16 hrs)
Fasted cardio (even just a brisk walk)
High-protein, real-food diet with minimal processed sugars
If you’re tired of the sugar rollercoaster and want stable energy, this is for you.

Discover the power of the VARS Triad (also called the REDOX Triad)—Dr. Dan Purser MD’s groundbreaking, patented antioxidant protocol featuring VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD, and VARS Catalase. In this live session, Dr. Purser breaks down what VARS stands for (Validated, Absorbable, Reduced, Stable), how this physician-designed trio supports your body’s natural redox balance, quiets inflammation and cytokines at the root-cause level, and helps overcome genetic challenges like high homocysteine, oxidative stress, and related chronic issues. Perfect for anyone exploring advanced functional medicine and targeted supplementation.

Hi, I’m Dr. Dan Purser. For too long, autism has been treated as a mystery with only symptom management. In this episode, I break down what I’ve seen consistently in practice: the real root cause behind many cases on the spectrum.
It starts with genetic variants (especially MTHFR and related SNPs) that break the transsulfuration pathway. When kids can’t efficiently convert homocysteine into glutathione, they lose their ability to detox heavy metals and environmental toxins. The result is chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and developmental challenges.
The good news? Once we identify these biochemical and genetic imbalances through proper testing, we can intervene at the root with targeted support — restoring methylation, rebuilding glutathione function, and giving the body what it needs to heal.
This isn’t theory. It’s the Purser Method® in action.
If you’re a parent searching for real answers instead of just labels, this episode is for you. The root cause has been solved. Now let’s talk solutions.
Fatty liver isn’t just about food, alcohol, or bad habits. For many people, it may be a hidden PEMT problem no one is talking about. If your body can’t process fats the way it should, no amount of “healthy living” will fix the root cause.
