Your health isn’t another item on your to-do list.

It’s not a punishment.
It’s not a chore.
It’s not something you “have” to do.

The way you nourish your body, prioritize rest, move, and care for yourself is a daily act of self-love.

Your future self is built by the choices you make today. 💛

🧬 Why Genetics Matter: A Deep Dive Into CBS

Your genes don’t determine your health outcome, but they can influence how your body processes nutrients, neurotransmitters, detox pathways, and biochemical reactions.

One gene that gets a lot of attention is CBS.

🧬 What does CBS do?

CBS stands for cystathionine beta-synthase.

It is an enzyme in the transsulfuration pathway, which helps move homocysteine away from the methylation cycle and toward the production of:

➡️ Cysteine
➡️ Glutathione
➡️ Sulfate

This pathway is important for:

✅ Antioxidant production
✅ Detoxification support
✅ Sulfur metabolism
✅ Cellular protection

However, homocysteine sits at a crossroads.

It has two main options:

Pathway #1: Recycle back into methionine 🔄

Homocysteine can be recycled back into methionine, which supports:

SAMe production
Methylation reactions
DNA regulation
Neurotransmitter metabolism
Hormone metabolism

This pathway requires nutrients like:

🧬 Folate
🧬 Vitamin B12
🧬 B6
🧬 Riboflavin
🧬 Choline/betaine

Pathway #2: Move through transsulfuration 🌱

Homocysteine can move through CBS into the sulfur pathway to create:

◾ Cysteine
◾ Glutathione
◾ Sulfate

This supports:

👉🏼Oxidative stress defense
👉🏼Detoxification
👉🏼Cellular repair

The goal? ⚖️ BALANCE.

When transsulfuration is moving too quickly…

If CBS activity is increased or the pathway is being pushed too hard, some people may have:

Lower available homocysteine for methylation
Reduced methionine/SAMe production
Increased demand for B6
Greater sulfur metabolite production

Potential symptoms can include:

⚡ Sensitivity to sulfur supplements or high sulfur foods
⚡ Feeling overwhelmed by certain detox protocols
⚡ Headaches
⚡ Brain fog
⚡ Fatigue

When recycling back to methionine is struggling…

Homocysteine may not be efficiently recycled.

This can impact:

✨Methylation capacity
✨Neurotransmitter production
✨Cellular repair
✨Hormone metabolism

And this is why looking at CBS alone is incomplete.

We need to look at MORE than just CBS mutations. We need to look at:

🧬 MTHFR
🧬 MTR
🧬 MTRR
🧬 BHMT
🧬 Symptomology
🧬 Nutrient status

The biggest takeaway:

Methylation, detoxification, sulfur metabolism, and antioxidant production are all connected.

A gene variant is NOT a diagnosis.

It is information.

It gives us a roadmap for asking:

“Where might this person need more support?”

🧬 Genetics give us clues. Your body will heal with the right support.

A big part of nervous system healing is learning to stop treating every moment like a threat.

The traffic.
The email.
The unexpected change.
The uncomfortable conversation.

Your body is always listening to the messages you send it.

Not everything is an emergency.
Not every thought needs a reaction.
Not every situation needs your full nervous system response.

Pause. Breathe. Respond instead of reacting.

Safety is built through small moments, repeated over time. 🌿

Health isn't a destination you arrive at one day and get to keep forever without effort.

It's something you create every single day by the choices you make.

The food you eat.
The sleep you prioritize.
The thoughts you think.
The way you manage stress.
The way you move your body.

Health is built through small, consistent choices repeated over time.

You can eat healthy, take all the "right" supplements, and still react completely differently than someone else.

Why?

Because your genetics influence how your body processes nutrients, toxins, and even naturally occurring compounds in food.

One example is the SUOX gene.

🧬 SUOX (Sulfite Oxidase) helps convert sulfites into sulfates. Sulfates are the form the body can safely use and eliminate.

This process is important because sulfites are produced from:

• Sulfur-containing foods (garlic, onions, eggs, cruciferous vegetables)
• Certain supplements (glutathione, NAC, MSM, Epsom salts)
• Preservatives in some foods and beverages
• Natural detoxification pathways

When SUOX isn't functioning optimally, sulfites may build up faster than they're being converted.

For some people, that can contribute to symptoms such as:

➡ Headaches
➡ Brain fog
➡ Fatigue
➡ Flushing
➡ Increased sensitivity to sulfur-containing foods or supplements
➡ Digestive issues

Having a SUOX variant doesn't mean sulfur is bad or that you should avoid all high sulfur supplements. It just means you may need additional support to process sulfur efficiently.

This is why genetics matter.

Two people can take the exact same supplement and have completely different experiences because their bodies process it differently.

Your symptoms are often clues and your genetics can help explain what's happening in your body to cause them.

💡It's important to note, that just because you may have these variants, doesn't necessarily mean you'll experience these symptoms. It's why it's important to put genetics together with symptoms and other foundational functional labs.

Who says avoiding processed foods means missing out on yummy things?

These Einkorn Sourdough English Muffins were really tasty and easy to make! I need to adjust a few things, but not bad for my first try!

The ability to change is a superpower.

To change your habits.
To change your mindset.
To change the way you speak to yourself.
To change the environment you stay in.
To change the trajectory of your health and your life.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.
And the willingness to grow may be one of the most powerful things we possess. ✨ Don't be afraid of change. 🌿
