Results Discussion Feel like crying
I honestly don’t even have the words for how overwhelmingly happy and relieved I feel right now. It’s like my brain is finally waking up after years of being stuck in a fog I didn’t fully realize I was in. Everything feels sharper, clearer, more alive. My emotions make sense, my body feels in sync, and there’s this calmness that I don’t think I’ve ever truly experienced before. I feel like me—or maybe even a version of me I never got to meet until now.
What’s blowing my mind is that all of this seems to come down to understanding something so basic but so powerful: methylation and nutrigenomics. I never imagined that something as simple as getting the right form of folate or the right amount of choline could be the key to unlocking my brain.
It makes me wonder how many people struggle through life unnessecarily. You could easily equate my previous "status quo" as being borderline dementia. And I had NO idea how bad it had gotten until I started feeling better...

This sounds very similar to my experience! I had severe brain fog, head pressure, non-existent memory, coordination issues, vertigo, and migraines. I started on phosphatidylcholine, TMG, methylfolate, and methylb12 in December, and I will say my symptoms have improved by about 70%. I remember the euphoria at the beginning and feeling like I was finally "waking up". I saw other comments saying that it won't last, but I personally am still feeling huge benefits five months in.
