There is a strong connection between the MTHFR gene mutation, PEMT gene, and small intestine bacterial overgrowth, especially when bile flow has been disrupted. The PEMT gene relies heavily on SAMe from the methylation cycle to produce phosphatidylcholine, and when this process slows down, bile can become thick and sluggish. Because bile is naturally supportive to microbial balance in the small intestine, reduced bile flow may contribute to irritable bowel and small intestine bacterial overgrowth. This is where a nutrigenomics nutrition approach offers clarity and direction. Instead of focusing on restriction, it highlights how to nourish your body based on your unique genetics.

I used to feel frustrated when my histamine symptoms flared even though I was eating healthy. It wasn’t until I learned about gene mutations in the histamine pathways and how the DAO enzyme works that things finally made sense. In this post I share how genetics, gut health and nutritional genomics can all play a role in histamine intolerance symptoms and what you can do to support your body in a way that feels good. If you are curious about genetic testing or want a deeper understanding of your histamine intolerance symptoms, this is a great place to start.

Methylated vitamins are essential for many, but for those with an MTHFR gene mutation or poor methylation, they can sometimes trigger a histamine response. Discover how genetics, inflammation, and nutrient imbalances influence histamine intolerance and why understanding your methylation pathway is key. Learn about supplements for histamine intolerance and how to support healthy methylation with B vitamins, magnesium, and folate-rich foods.

Your Ancestry DNA test results can offer more than family history — they can help you understand how your body processes nutrients, handles stress, and maintains balance. In this post, I share how I used my Ancestry DNA kit results and a nutrigenomics nutrition approach to explore specific gene mutations (like MTHFR, PEMT, COMT) and how they relate to my digestion, skin, and energy patterns. If you've ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” and still not feeling your best, exploring your genetic testing results can help you personalize nutrition in a grounded, supportive way.
