Am I a Hypo-methylator, and what can I do about it?
You may have watched Gary Brecker's recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. Here, we'll debunk some myths from that episode and expand on the importance of a working methylation cycle. Find out if you're affected- and more importantly: what to do about it.

Finding out is easy
Let’s start with the good news. We offer what will cost you $599 at Gary Brecka’s 10X Health for $199. What’s more, we don’t just analyze the 5 gene specific mutations discussed in the episode (MTR, MTRR, COMT, AHCY and yes, MTHFR). Instead, we analyze over 700,000 SNPs, your answers to an extensive medical intake and (if you have it) your bloodwork. This allows us to discover much deeper and personalized insights on conditions you might be at risk for, or already suffering from.
We then follow up with personalized recommendations and prescription meds where necessary, to alleviate your conditions. All from the comfort of your home!
What is Methylation, exactly?
On a molecular level, methylation is a process by which a methyl group (CH3) is added to a molecule, often DNA, affecting gene expression and cell function. It’s an elemental biochemical reaction involved in many cellular processes across multiple biological pathways in the body- each shaping different aspects of our health. This varies from the explanation offered by Brecka, who primarily discusses the role of methylation in converting raw materials entering the body (via nutrition) into usable forms.
Let’s explore several other arenas of health that methylation plays a vitally important role in:
