Really good presentation. Learned many things.

[@cjouellette1]

Which methylation panel is that?

[@wholehealthconcord5754]

Rupa Health has many panels to choose from when evaluating a patient’s methylation status. These include Genova, Boston Heart, Doctor’s Data, and Mosiac Labs. Each panel is a little different so take a look at each one to find the best fit for you or your patient.

[@cjouellette1]

@@wholehealthconcord5754 Thanks! When I search for via those 4 you referenced, do I simply type in 'methylation panel' to find them?

[@pw7433]

If someone has been diagnosed with dementia should they have a "methylation" test and if so, which one? TIA!

[@wholehealthconcord5754]

Mosiac Labs, Genova, Doctor’s Data and US Biotek all offer solid panels- take a look and see what you feel is the best fit. But yes, if dementia is present, a methylation assessment and nutrient evaluation could both be of significant value.

[@wholehealthconcord5754]

Yes, if dementia is present, a methylation panel and micronutrient evaluation could both be very helpful. Mosiac Labs, Genova, Doctor’s Data and US Biotek all offer labs that could be of significant value. Take a look on Rupa’s site to see which could be most valuable for the individual.
