Listed to the Joe Rogan podcast with Gary Brecka and does a very good job presenting the information. Question is whether all this stuff is legit and can truly improve your life. I mean if it is, $600 bucks to feel and function significantly better isn't a crazy price. Thoughts?

Why not spend $25 on a bottle of methylated folate and see if that makes you feel better? Is it does, avoid enriched flour so your body doesn’t get saturated with folic acid? Cheaper than $600. Don’t think it’s a scam but they’re are better ways to figure out the same thing.

A bottle of TMG is cheap and pretty safe. Take it for a few months and track your BP.

Report back to us.

I listened to the podcast too and looked into it.

An independent lab testing company like Any Lab Test Now, etc., will cost around $250 for the test.

I ended up ordering methylated folate droppers on Amazon. I haven't noticed a difference. I'll finish up the bottle and see how I feel, and how I feel when I stop.

I kind of get a snake oil salesman vibe from Gary. He's supposed to come back on Rogan to go over Joe's results. We'll see. I'm not sold on the grounding mat, but there seems to be some science to the red light therapy.

I recently visited a functional medicine practitioner and she had me do an obnoxious amount of blood work. It had to total more than a pint. But, she left the methylation test off of the list. I asked why and she stated that that test isn't a first step test. First, we need to see what I'm deficient in, and if those tests point to a methylation issue, then she will order it. Turns out I don't have a methylation issue based on the results of my other tests.

She's very aware of Huberman, Peter Attia, etc.. and some of the things she was explaining to me were things I've heard them explain. It was interesting to see her put into practice all the words you hear on a podcast, and see how they work together. I highly recommend finding a functional medicine or holistic health practitioner in your area and going through the whole process.
