Understanding Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics to Optimize Outcomes in Complex Conditions such as Autism and PANS/PANDAS Video Series

In this curated package of videos from our 2023 Documenting Hope Conference, you will have access to the world’s leading experts on genomics, nutrigenomics and personalized biochemistry applied to complex chronic conditions in children. In this series you will learn:

• How knowing your child’s genetics and unique makeup can hold the key to developing an effective treatment strategy
• How to optimize methylation and detoxification through a highly personalized supplement regimen
• What food to eat to support your child’s unique genetics
• The top stressors that may contribute to conditions like autism, PANS/PANDAS and autoimmune conditions
• The importance of methylation for every system in the body and how you can support methylation
• How mutations in genes (such as MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, CBS) can impact your child’s health and development
• What lab tests you can order to better understand your child’s bioindividual needs

Genomics to Increase Lifetime Success in Autism: Recent Improvements in the Field: Sharon Hausman Cohen, MD

In this presentation, Dr. Sharon Hausman Cohen highlights the case of identical twins, Joe and Jack, and other children who benefited from personalized genomic interventions. She discusses how understanding genetic variants and their interaction with environmental factors can lead to targeted treatments, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach in addressing root causes and improving overall function in children with autism.

Bioindividuality and Biomedical Approaches to Children’s Chronic Health Conditions: Anju Usman, MD

Dr. Anju Usman delves into the critical role of glutathione in detoxification and gut health, emphasizing the importance of cysteine in producing essential substances like glutathione and coenzyme A. She highlights the link between genetic factors, environmental triggers and biochemical issues in children with conditions such as autism, stressing the need for individualized testing, targeted treatments for inflammation, detoxification, and mitochondrial support.

Bioindividuality Panel: Anju Usman, MD and Sharon Hausman Cohen, MD

This panel focused on the differences between folic acid and methylfolate, particularly in relation to prenatal supplements for mothers with certain gene variants like MTHFR. Additional insights were shared on addressing conditions such as parasites and Clostridia through herbal treatments and biofilm-busting agents, highlighting the significance of personalized approaches in administering vitamins and supplements to children who may resist traditional methods.

The Yasko Protocol: The Methylation Cycle & Detox: Amy Yasko, PhD

Dr. Amy Yasko discusses the importance of the methylation cycle in the body, emphasizing its role in gene regulation and correction of mutations. She highlights the significance of epigenetics and the impact of methylation on health conditions like autism, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Dr. Yasko provides insights into addressing imbalances in the methylation cycle through nutritional supplements, testing for toxins and supporting gut health for overall well-being.
