What Functional Testing Can Reveal That Blood Tests Miss

Functional testing looks beyond how much of a nutrient is floating in your blood and asks whether that nutrient is actually doing its job inside the cell. This clip explains how enzyme activity and metabolic byproducts can reveal where key biochemical processes are slowing down, and how those patterns can point toward missing nutrient co-factors.

What If Parkinson’s Is Also An Energy Metabolism Problem?

Parkinson’s is often framed around dopamine, but this clip looks deeper at what may be happening inside the cell. Oxidative stress, inflammation, chronic infection, and environmental toxins can interfere with key thiamine-dependent enzymes involved in energy production, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. That raises a bigger question about whether impaired B1-dependent metabolism is part of the disease process itself.
