The Methylation Myth: What It Really Does (And How to Support It) | Dr. Wallace Brucker

Today we're diving deep into one of the most talked-about — and most misunderstood — topics in longevity medicine:

Methylation.

Joining us is Dr. Wallace Brucker, a physician working at the intersection of functional medicine, genomics, and anti-aging science.

Most medicine treats symptoms.

This episode explores what's happening at the cellular level — before symptoms ever appear.

We unpack:

1. What methylation actually is (in simple terms)

2. The truth about the MTHFR gene — hype vs. reality

3. How poor methylation may impact inflammation, heart disease risk, hormones, sleep, and energy

4. Why "test first, then intervene" is critical

5. The danger of over-supplementing methylated vitamins

6. The future of predictive medicine, AI, and longevity care

Dr. Brucker explains how genetics, environment, and lifestyle interact — and how understanding your biology may help you compress disease risk and extend healthspan.

This is a masterclass in modern longevity thinking — without needing a medical degree to follow along.
