MethylDetox by Kuya Wellness
MethylDetox by Kuya Wellness identifies gene mutations associated with the body’s ability to methylate, a crucial biochemical process that regulates detox pathways, gene expression, and immune function.
As mutations occur in these genes, cognitive function and metabolic health can be thrown off balance, a genetic modification that affects more than 50% of the US population.
By understanding your genetics through our MethylDetox test, you can make simple adjustments to address and prevent various methylation symptoms.
Who may benefit from the MethylDetox Test?
If you experience chronic fatigue, brain fog, unexplained anxiety, depression, random irritability, chronic inflammation, or hormonal imbalances, your ability to methylate may be compromised.
The MethylDetox by Kuya Wellness Test is a simple non-fasted blood test that helps uncover hidden genetic factors affecting your mental and physical health.
Schedule your MethylDetox Test
Our team will help you understand your unique genetic profile, providing personalized insights into your health and pinpointing specific areas of concern with suggestions on proper nutrition and supplementation.
Book your MethylDetox test and have both the diagnostics drawn and reviewed thoughtfully by our Lead Nurse at Kuya.
Over 30% of individuals with depression have a mutation in the methylation pathway, affecting serotonin levels.
What genes are tested?
The MethylDetox test gives insight into the following genes and markers:
- MTHFR – Variants in this gene affect the metabolism of folate (B9) and can cause anxiety, depression, mood disorders, cognitive difficulties, fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues, and hormone imbalances.
- MTR – A gene related to methylating vitamin B12. MTR mutations can cause anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.
- MTRR – Plays a role in conversation processes and can affect DNA repair, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detox.
- COMT -This methylation gene plays an important role in a variety of disorders, including depression, hypertension, estrogen-induced cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and many others.
- AHCY – Plays a key role in optimizing methylation specific to immune dysfunction, hyperactivity, aggression, and liver function
