So now we had a lot of information. We had low magnesium. We have low omegas. And we have now this out of balance dopamine system. So now I'm really beginning to understand a lot here, what we need to do. We need to replace, we need to fix the gut. We need to give her the nutrients like the omegas, the vitamin D, the magnesium.

Now this dopamine balance becomes really very important because it's out of balance. And here is one of the things we do. You're definitely not going to be getting at your local doctor anytime soon. And that's the genetic testing that we do.

And again, Mark, as we've talked about this before, and you've said and written about and used this term, the issue with the brain isn't necessarily the brain, it's the body. And that's what we put into the body that trigger all of these systems or deprive these systems of what they need to function correctly. So that's what we're doing here. We're fixing the body.

We're helping it function the way it was designed to function.

Yeah, so this is one of my favorite things to do. I order it on all my patients, but I can't wait to get the results back when I see my ADHD patient because oftentimes the genetics line up almost... hand-in-glove with what they're experiencing in their day-to-day life in terms of concentration, focus, mood dysregulation, their inability to read social cues.

What we do is we look at these, what we call single nucleotide polymorphisms, or these, I call them gene blueprints. You have gene blueprints. Your genes are just blueprints for making proteins, most of which are enzymes. Some of them are structural proteins, but That's what these are. They're blueprints.

And when God made you, he opened up the file for enzyme X. And when he opens it, there's six different blueprints. We don't know which one he gives you until we look. So we found out, you know, it depends on what mood he was in that day. He may have gotten a really fast enzyme X, a really slow enzyme X. We don't know until we do this test.

So now I can find out there's enzymes that break down dopamine. In various parts of the brain, there's enzymes that are responsible for serotonin metabolism. So we look at those. And there can be patterns that can be associated or predispose somebody to a certain way of thinking or behaving or experiencing the world. In Claire's case, one of the blueprints I look at is called the COMT.
