Let’s explore “low homocysteine”

My newest podcast is up -- this one a recording of the FACEBOOK LIVE from Wednesday night where I talked about HSDD/LOW LIBIDO/LOW TESTOSTERONE/DRY VAGINA in WOMEN. Download it here off Spotify -- https://open.spotify.com/show/3cI2PyUEP95lH

I have found one cause for postpartum depression is a severe vitamin deficiency. It takes a lot to grow a baby for 9 months and during that time mama can be sucked dry of all the things she needs! It can cause low libido and many other thin

PURSER WELLNESSTestosterone in Men and WomenA conversation with Dr. Purser

Aloha, Have you thought about the possibility of having low in testosterone? Yes, both men and women suffer from low testosterone. Understanding the signs and symptoms, in men and women, can help dramatically and improve testosterone levels. Since I was 30 years old, I forced my body through menopause with a lupron shot prior to starting chemotherapy in order to prevent my estrogen-positive cancer from spreading. Unfortunately, I had the same side-effects women go through during menopause including hot and cold flashes, dryness, and low libido. Have you considered the changes your body is goin

Infertility affects thousands of couples each year who struggle to find helpful advice. One common treatment recommended is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Although initial testing is performed, it is incredible how many doctors leap to IVF as an answer. The two reasons I would not recommend IVF is the treatment’s cost and scope. To complete the treatment, couples can expect to spend roughly $12,500 (Utah IVF average) while critical infertility issues (low testosterone and sperm count from pituitary, genetic, or nutritional factors) are rarely considered. Unfortunately, more natural female infer

PURSER WELLNESSGENOVA™ Neopterin Biopterin Urine Profile for MTHFRFrom the reading room

This test result is bad and could indicate an infection, especially viral. This is a great test for those with A1298C and especially who are Homozygous A1298C. Neopterin is bad while biopterin is good. If neopterin is repeatedly high, the BH4 is low. Neopterin is a sensitive marker of cellular mediated immunity. Reduced levels reflect cellular immunity weakening. Increased neopterin occur with infectious, inflammatory, immune system dysfunction or neoplastic disease evolution. Excessive neopterin negatively impacts the Nitric Oxide pathway in the body (e.g. excessive peroxynitrite formation an

<150 supports deficiency; 150-400 is often treated as borderline and may warrant MMA/homocysteine review.

Morning collection preferred for men. Method and age matter; confirm unexpected low values.

Female cycle-phase detail is on the next section. LC-MS/MS is preferred at low concentrations.

Assay-specific, especially at low concentrations.

Method-dependent; LC-MS/MS is preferred at very low values.

Pregnancy interpretation is gestational-age-specific; low-level positives require clinical follow-up.

Follow the sulfur pathway from homocysteine toward cysteine and glutathione.
