This week I broke down TMG
how trimethylglycine works as a methyl donor, why your MTHFR gene matters for mood and energy, and why most people walking around with broken methylation have no idea it’s happening.
If you haven’t listened yet, go back and do that.
But here’s the question the episode leaves you with: how do you actually know if your methylation is off?
The standard bloodwork your doctor orders doesn’t tell you. It checks your cholesterol, maybe your blood sugar, gives you a thumbs up if you’re “in range” — and sends you home. It doesn’t check your homocysteine. It doesn’t check your methylmalonic acid. It doesn’t look at your folate or your B12 at a functional level. The markers that actually reveal how your methylation is running? Completely skipped. Every time.
I’ve been telling my community for years: test, don’t guess. That’s why I partnered with Superpower.
What Superpower Actually Tests
Superpower runs 100+ biomarkers in a single blood draw — through Quest Diagnostics at 2,000+ locations nationwide, or right from your home. One appointment, one draw, a complete picture of your health. And for my community specifically, they’re including the markers that make this week’s episode actionable:
Homocysteine — the primary methylation marker that TMG directly lowers
Vitamin B12 & Folate — essential co-factors in the methylation cycle your MTHFR gene depends on
RBC Folate & Methylmalonic Acid — deeper functional markers most conventional labs skip entirely
hs-CRP, cortisol, hormones, glucose, thyroid, and 90+ more — one draw, full picture
After your results, you get an AI-powered action plan: exactly what to adjust in your diet, supplements, and lifestyle based on your actual data. Not a generic handout. Your numbers, your plan.
