Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: The Missing Link? Did you know there’s a genetic condition, PEMT, that may be a major factor in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis? If you have it, your body struggles to produce phosphatidylcholine, a critical compound for gut and liver health. Research shows supplementing with phosphatidylcholine and glutathione can make a huge difference in managing these conditions.
Two big genetic problems I see all the time 👇
- Inflammation (homocysteine, PEMT)
- Gut & liver issues (SIBO, colitis, diarrhea)
Sometimes people have both… and it’s brutal.
Genetics might not be the answer to everything—
but it’s the start

Yes—your genetics can directly cause vitamin deficiencies. Certain SNPs lower your body’s ability to process or make key nutrients, like MTHFR reducing folate use, PEMT lowering phosphatidylcholine production for gut and liver health, and SOD decreasing antioxidant defenses against free radicals. These deficiencies drive inflammation, fatigue, and chronic illness, but with the right genetic and intracellular testing, you can target them and supplement with the exact forms your body needs

Dr. Purser and Justace discuss how genetics often reveal two major patterns in patients: either serious gut and liver issues like SIBO, pancreatitis, or colitis, or inflammatory problems tied to homocysteine and PEMT mutations. Sometimes patients suffer from both, which can lead to severe long-term complications like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes. While genetics isn’t the full answer, it provides critical insight into why these problems develop and how to intervene early.

🧠 “Is fibromyalgia just Wilson’s disease?” No—but it’s close. Wilson’s is extreme copper toxicity with liver failure and eye discoloration (Kayser-Fleischer rings). Fibro doesn’t go that far, but it’s often a milder copper regulation issue—genetically rooted and still painful. The low copper diet we use in our fibro protocols? It’s even better than the one Wilson’s patients get.

🧬 After 15+ years deep in genetics, Dr. Purser sees two root causes over and over again: 1️⃣ Inflammation 2️⃣ Gut & liver dysfunction. Almost every chronic issue—including fibromyalgia, fatigue, and brain fog—ties back to 17 homocysteine SNPs or PEMT mutations. That’s why he built treatment guides, books, and the CMA + Redox + genetic testing combo. If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still feel awful, this is where to look next.

Most doctors treat osteoporosis, fatty liver, or gut issues with drugs—never asking why they started in the first place. But PEMT, a genetic disorder that prevents your body from making enough phosphatidylcholine, is often at the core. Without PC, your liver, bones, and gut can’t function properly. The good news? Once identified, it’s treatable with the right nutrients—a real game changer.

🔥 Chronic pancreatitis but don’t drink? You might have a PEMT gene issue stopping you from making enough phosphatidylcholine—critical for protecting your pancreas and liver. Supplement with phosphatidylcholine (1–2 daily) and add VARS Gluta
If you’ve been flagged for PEMT on your NutraHacker or genetic report, don’t just reach for choline—you need phosphatidylcholine. 🧬 This genetic issue is a major cause of NAFLD, NASH, type 2 diabetes, and liver failure if left unaddressed.
