Cells Becoming “Rogue” as We Age and What to Do About It, Part 1
October 19, 2023
DNA methylation is an important part of the maintenance of normal DNA structure. As we age, a gradual DNA hypomethylation occurs at the genome-wide level. This phenomenon leads to genome instability, or modifications in the expression of certain genes (also known as epigenetic changes). Anomalies in cell division may be triggered, resulting in the formation of “rogue” cells, or cells not performing the functions they were genetically programmed to do. In this episode Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance discusses homocysteine, MTHFR genetic variants, and the impact of methyl donor supplements on overall health. Click HERE for part 2.

Astaxanthin For Immune, Brain And Vision Health, Part 1
August 3, 2023
Neil Edward Levin, Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for Protocol for Life Balance provides a deep-dive on astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid that plays an important role in cellular protection and healthy immune system responses.

In the eye, it helps to neutralize free radicals and manage eyestrain due to computer usage. It's an extraordinary carotenoid derived from non-GMO Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.
