Methylation: The Best Kept Optimal Health Secret | TUH #005
About this video
In this early solo episode, Brecka introduces himself and his move from mortality research in the life-settlement industry into wellness, then teaches his core concept of methylation. He explains methylation as one-carbon metabolism coded by genes, focuses on the MTHFR gene and methylfolate, and claims folate deficiency is linked to problems ranging from fatty liver to impaired breakdown of fight-or-flight neurotransmitters. He closes by describing his free morning routine stack of sunlight, breathwork, cold exposure and grounding at topic level.
