7 days agoMethylated B vitamins and vitamin D were life changing discoveries. I have some polymorphisms (VDR and MTHFR) that mean I am less efficient at absorbing them from food. 2000 IU a day and a B-complex ended chronic depression/anxiety and insomnia for me. Those mutations are pretty common so I highly recommend trying them for anyone with similar issues.
Aside from that I think a whole foods plant based diet with some eggs and fish and no refined sugars is probably the way to go. Some micronutrients like vitamin A and K2 are more easily absorbed from animal sources, so eating a small amount of meat and/or eggs is probably a bit healthier than pure plant based IMO.
If you have done a partial gene sequence for a service like ancestry or 23andme you can just look at the raw data and search for the known polymorphisms.
