@Mackay Rippey Not sure if Dr Nicola has ever run a OAp. THe test comparisons she did was with lyme labs and mycotoxin test

I don't have a concrete way to look at snps because it's a bioindividual approach. So depending on how the client is presenting and/or what results I see in labs will guide me as to which pathways to look at. I've noticed an influx of new genetic tests on the market that are saying 'if you have this gene, eat this way'. or "if you have this gene, you need to take this supp'. This IMO (and I'm sure Emily's view too)is not the way to go about it. Having a gene does NOT mean it's presenting with symptos. We need to look at the labs, get the person's symptomology and history to determine if genes are presenting. On the flipside of that, if we see a person's genetic makeup, we may want to run some labs to confirm. Ex;: if you see a person has HFE gene variants, then run an iron panel to determine if it's presenting. Seeing genetics gives us tips to look in certain areas. I also find it helps to create an excel spreadsheet for genetics. After each call, whatever gene was discussed and how to support it and perhaps mechanism of action, I include in my spreadsheet so that I can reference back to it. As you're aware, genetics are complex and not easily remembered. Hope this helps.

Just keep something in mind Noah. Most of us on the Thurs calls have been together since the beginning so we've gone over many many case studies which helps. It always helps to hear things over and over.
