After listening To first half.

Anyone have experience with this type of testing?

Basically it determines if you have genetic resistance to breaking down certain dietary element which can cause major health problems like hypertension.

Podcast is starting out to be very interesting and I’m thinking about getting one of these methylation tests for my family.

Thoughts?

He’s a snake oil salesman. Rogan is just not a trustworthy source these days. The things he talks about as revolutionary treatments have already been well studied. for instance methylation therapies that lowered homocysteine levels dramatically in multiple studies yet there was no clinical benefit. There was zero drop in blood pressure

Just listened to it as well. I found it interesting but not sure if any of it is actionable for me.

It’s very inexpensive through Boston Heart. I want to say $25. Just need a doctor to order it.

That was not my sense from him at all but I appreciate the response.

I was very interested in the podcast too. I'll be looking for a test and if I find something I'll let you know.

I’d say buy some methylated vitamins for $40 and save the $600 gene test. If the vitamin makes you feel better then continue taken them. If not, stop?

I know he’s a polarizing figure too, but Layne Norton blasted Gary for most of the claims he made on JRE.

If he didn’t sound knowledgeable and trustworthy he wouldn’t be successful. Has no bearing on whether what he is saying is actually true

Layne has a phd in nutrition and he is right. It’s very easy to disprove this guys claims.

Now does he make his clients healthier? Sure he does. But he does it with the basics, diet, exercise, hormone optimization. He doesn’t have a secret that no one else knows like he claims to publicize himself and make a ton of money.

I guess what I was referring to was that he wasn’t personally selling anything that I could tell.
