Many Canadians take B12 supplements to fight fatigue or low energy. But some people do not feel better. The reason may be your genes, specifically MTRR and MTR gene mutations. At MethylationTest.ca, we help you understand how your DNA affects B12 absorption and metabolism, so you can choose the right form and dose. Why B12 […]
Choosing the right genetic test can be tricky. Many Canadians start with AncestryDNA or 23andMe to learn about family history. But if your goal is health insights, you need more than ancestry. At MethylationTest.ca, we focus on actionable DNA health reports. Our tests show how your genes affect nutrient metabolism, methylation, and disease risk. Why […]
How ADHD and Methylation Are Connected ADHD is more than attention struggles. Genetics play a role, particularly MTHFR and COMT genes, which regulate dopamine and other neurotransmitters. Proper methylation supports: When methylation is slowed due to gene variants, dopamine may not function optimally, contributing to ADHD symptoms. For more information, see our post on mental […]
If you have MTHFR gene variations, your body may process folate differently. Eating the right foods can help support methylation, reduce homocysteine, and improve overall health. This MTHFR diet guide focuses on practical choices for Canadians in 2025, including Saskatchewan-friendly grocery options. Foods to Eat: Boost Methylation Naturally Eating a variety of these foods helps […]
What is SIBO and How It Affects Digestion Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) happens when bacteria grow too much in the small intestine. Common signs include: Many people try diet changes, but symptoms may persist. The missing link could be your genes. How MTHFR Gene Impacts Gut Health The MTHFR gene plays a key role […]
Why You Might Feel Worse During Allergy Season Spring brings flowers, pollen, and sometimes sneezing. But do you really have allergies? Or is it histamine intolerance? Histamine intolerance happens when your body cannot break down histamine properly. The DAO gene is a key player. DAO (Diamine Oxidase) helps break down histamine from foods. If DAO […]
What is Histamine Intolerance? Even if you eat “healthy,” you may feel bloated, tired, or anxious. This could be histamine intolerance. It happens when your body cannot break down histamine well. Histamine is in: Your body uses enzymes to break down histamine: If these enzymes are weak, histamine builds up. Common symptoms: Check our full […]
Most people focus on folate when thinking about methylation. But choline is the “backdoor” nutrient that keeps the methylation cycle running. Without enough choline, your body may struggle with detox, liver function, and brain health. Our genetic methylation test can show if your genes make you more sensitive to choline needs, especially if you have […]
Canadians often face a choice between a blood test and a genetic methylation test. Blood tests provide a snapshot of your current health, while methylation testing shows your lifetime genetic blueprint. Understanding the difference helps you make informed health decisions and supports targeted interventions. Our genetic methylation test reveals how your genes affect nutrient absorption, […]
Weight loss is more than diet and exercise. Our genes play a major role in how our bodies store fat and respond to food. Genetic testing for weight loss in Canada can uncover how methylation and genes like FTO and MTHFR affect your metabolism. Understanding your DNA is the first step toward a personalized plan […]
