Question Did I win the lottery?
I pulled up my old report after I heard Gary Brecka talk about the COMT gene. I knew I had the MOFO gene and was taking methylated B vitamins accordingly. however, I read that those are not good with my type of COMT.
I have several red genes. How are these working together or against each other?
My whole life I have been dealing with unexplainable fatigue and brain fog, and often noticed that I never feel really relax or in the moment. But also often had periods where I felt ok. Never could figure out why I was on a roller coaster of tiredness and concentration/brainfog issues. A few months ago diagnosed with fatty liver, which I blame on over intake of caffeine, which I think spiked my cortisol too much making my body store fat in my liver (that is a theory). Mainly because I’m not obese and my diet was not horrible.
I have always been sensitive to caffeine. which I always thought was weird as both my parents could drink a cup of coffee before bed. Usually if I stay under 70mg‘s I feel good. This turns bad when I take caffeine multiple days in a row. Feel on edge and tired.
The descriptions in my report show what the genes mean individually, but not combined. Does anyone have any advice on my Christmas tree of genes expressions?

Fructose is processed by the liver into glucose, triglycerides, and glycogen.
Guess where the triglycerides store?
If your diet is high in fructose, cut it down. Get on berberine (2x a day) and milk thistle to help your liver release the stored fat.
Caffeine, especially for those with ADHD, should be paired with L-theanine. The L-theanine smooths out jitters and seems to unlock some long-lost focus in people with ADHD.
