Part 1: The Importance of Methylation & Epigenetics

Dr. Amy introduces supplementary concepts to The Yasko Protocol not discussed in her prior seminar series (Methylation and Mutations, Methylation and Mutations: Dopamine, Finding More Pieces to the Puzzle, and Supplementation to Address Pieces of the Puzzle).

Part 1 of this five-part series revisits the basics of methylation and epigenetics before taking an in-depth look at mutations in the methylation cycle that have not been explored in Dr. Amy’s prior seminar series. This seminar reviews genes that help predict predispositions to a variety of health conditions, with a focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

This seminar explains how to utilize Dr. Amy’s 30 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel to take a targeted approach for identifying optimal nutritional support. The benefits of the use of nutrigenomic testing as a screening tool to mitigate effects of SNPs, while lowering the contribution of ancillary risk factors (such as infectious disease and environmental toxins), is also discussed.

Part 2: CFTR function

Part 2 of this five-part series is a continuation of Part I. Dr. Amy provides an in-depth explanation of the CFTR gene within the methylation cycle, and discusses the importance of adequate CFTR function. This seminar also reviews different variations of CFTR SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism), and how these variations are related to proper ion transport.

Part 3: CFTR Function continued

Part 3 of this five-part series is a continuation of Part 2. Dr. Amy provides an in-depth explanation of the CFTR gene within the methylation cycle, and discusses the importance of adequate CFTR function. This seminar reviews CFTR and the impact of different CFTR mutations in detail.

Part 4: Glutamate, CFTR

Part 4 of this five-part series is a continuation of Part 3. Dr. Amy explores the relationship between glutamate and CFTR, with examples of what can happen to glutamate levels when a CFTR mutation is present.

This seminar provides strategies on how to address different types of CFTR mutations, with an emphasis on the importance of balancing glutamate levels in the body. Dr. Amy provides examples of what happens when glutamate levels go unchecked in the system in conjunction with inadequate CFTR function.

Part 5: Looking into H. Pylori

The final part of the “Role of Ion Transport” series examines glutathione and sulfur groups, with a focus on the role they play in mucus. Dr. Amy provides a brief review of H. Pylori, as well as how methylation plays a role in the presence of H. pylori.
