Furin Inhibition Continues to be a Viable Consideration for COVID

Scientists are continuing to explore the role of furin proteases in the development of drugs to address COVID infections. This is a topic Dr. Fitzgerald has written on previously, including a peer-reviewed publication discussing dietary, lifestyle, and natural options to consider for lowering furin levels.

It’s time that we, practitioners, re-consider the approach that ‘pushing’ methylation reactions with supplementation alters epigenetic methylation expression. In their new eBook, Fitzgerald and Hodges explain how to support epigenetic and metabolic methylation. Learn how to support methylation the RIGHT WAY with The Methylation Diet and Lifestyle — a smart, safe plan that includes diet, exercise, gut health, stress, resilience, sleep and ways to limit “methyl donor drain.

The central role that methylation plays demands more careful attention than simply reaching for supplements. That’s why I’m excited to incorporate the ideas from the new eBook for cliniciansThe Methylation Diet and Lifestyle into my own practice. In this book, Dr. Fitzgerald and Romilly Hodges explain how to use a broader and safer approach to healthy methylation expression, including diet, limiting methyl donor drain, stress response, exercise and gut health. It’s a must-read!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new ebook, Methylation Diet & Lifestyle! It’s brilliant! Kara and Romilly make a complex biochemical subject easy to understand. I love your explanation of methylation, the nuance and distinctions like considering the complex interplay among the SNPs, the needed nutrients, and the food recommendations! It’s a must read for practitioners and patients.” – Certified Nutrition Consultant and Author of Nourishing Hope for Autism.

These days, methylation is a ‘hot’ topic in functional medicine: everyone knows it’s important, but there is debate about which is the most effective clinical protocol is for the best outcome. What I like about the Methylation Diet and Lifestyle E-book is that it takes a whole-self, lifestyle-medicine approach to this complicated area of clinical medicine and makes it actionable for the millions of us with variability in our ability to detoxify through methylation. This 140-page report is grounded in practical steps to get those with methylation deficits on their way to feeling empowered and healthy.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s book is an extraordinary integration of a vast amount of diverse information that makes practical sense of the complex interplay between our genes, the folate/vitamin B12 cycle, homocysteine, and the clinical importance of methylation.

The Methylation Diet and Lifestyle Book contains “news to use” that makes the very complex human biochemistry story of methylation reader friendly. It is a wonderful introduction to how nutrition and lifestyle can influence the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

Finally, an easy to read and understand explanation of methylation that is suited for both clinicians and the public. In Methylation Diet and Lifestyle, Dr Kara Fitzgerald demystifies the genetics and offers a rational approach that steers away from high dose supplementation as the answer, and instead focuses on using food as medicine. Thank you for bringing balance to this conversation!

It takes a special skill to be able to make the complex understandable and accessible without losing the original essence. Kara has that skill in abundance and her Methylation book is a latest shining example. She has a rare gift to impart the tenets of Functional Medicine and produce brilliant guides and case studies, and in this field I have been fortunate to learn more from her writings and lectures than from any other professional. I have been involved with nutrigenomics professionally for a number of years, and I can honestly recommend this book wholeheartedly no matter how experienced the reader. This is a book that works on many different levels and is representative of standards that all writers in the genre should aspire to.
