Nutrition, Methylation, and Depression
Nutritional support for the methylation cycle is another area in which nutrition plays a critical role. The methylation cycle is essential for mental and physical health. It is critical to the metabolism of catecholamines in the synapse...

"Recent research has found that, in the US, Australia and the UK, dietitians have a low level of knowledge of genetics and nutritional genomics. They also have low levels of confidence in these areas and current levels of involvement are also low (Collins et al 2013). Further investigation is required to find out why this is the case."

Methylation: The Fountain of Youth?
Not so long ago it was almost unfathomable that we’d be able to peek at our genetics to determine what diseases we’re at risk for, let alone use nutrition to help bypass genetic mutations referred to as single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
