Do you feel like your body and mind are “always on?” You wish you could escape from racing thoughts. You fidget in your chair and can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep. These symptoms could be due to overmethylation.
As a functional nutritionist, I’ve helped many people address key deficiencies associated with overmethylation. Specifically, we need to look at your folate and B6 levels. Once we correct these imbalances, you’ll notice a greater sense of calm and focus throughout the day. Life will slow down, and you’ll be able to enjoy relationships, work, and hobbies in a brand-new way.
At Eat for Life, I dive into the root causes of your health conditions. Other practitioners might overlook conditions like overmethylation, leaving you without answers or relief. Are you ready to transform your health? Let’s talk on a free consultation call.
Overmethylation refers to an excessive addition of methyl groups (CH3) to the DNA molecule, usually occurring at specific sites called CpG islands. These methyl groups can silence or suppress the activity of genes, leading to altered gene expression patterns.
Overmethylation has been associated with various health conditions and diseases, including certain types of neurological disorders. It is a complex phenomenon with intricate implications for the regulation of gene function and the understanding of genetic and epigenetic factors in human health.
While the chemistry of overmethylation might be too abstract for most people, the symptoms are very familiar. You might recognize some of the following symptoms in yourself.

Overmethylation leads to excessive production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. When you have too many of these neurotransmitters, you’ll likely experience hyperexcitability in the brain. Overmethylation can lead to:
Overmethylators do not respond well to serotonin-enhancing substances such as anxiety medication, anxiety medication, St. John’s Wort, and SAMe, which can make them suicidal. Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are often seen in overmethylated individuals.
If you have sought care for the symptoms above or if you’ve had negative reactions to common mood stabilizers, then I encourage you to schedule a free consultation with me. I can help you get to the bottom of your symptoms, and overmethylation might be to blame.
Let’s see if you might be impacted by this. Take my free, five-minute life assessment to find out if this applies to you.
Due to the way overmethylation impacts the brain, overmethylated Individuals often exhibit a clear pattern of behaviors. For example, overmethylated people can have high empathy for others, food and chemical sensitivities, and an adverse reaction to antidepressant medications.
Verbosity is also a hallmark of this condition. While being talkative is not a negative trait at all, it can provide clues to underlying health conditions.
It’s also important to note that methylation issues are developed in utero. Unlike diabetes, heart disease, or joint pain, methylation issues aren’t the result of lifestyle or environmental factors. In short, many people are unaware overmethlyation is the cause of their health challenges.
Overmethylators often lack folate and vitamin B6 due to genetic factors. Correcting this imbalance through an overmethylation diet, nutrient therapy, and lifestyle changes can safely restore health. Addressing these deficiencies is key to achieving optimal well-being.
When I work with clients, I create personalized wellness plans that target your unique biology. And while overmethylation might be your primary concern, I’ll also make sure you’re not lacking other key vitamins and nutrients.

“Sami’s guidance is cutting edge. She offers a unique perspective that is evidence-based and through proper testing helps to identify and uncovers any core imbalances within the body that are creating havoc. For me, deeper restoration and healing has finally come after 25 years of searching and trying a plethora of medications and dietary protocols. Before finding Sami I was uncertain if I could live another day. Sami is incredibly wise, knowledgeable, and empathetic; drawing from her large reservoir of training as well as her own personal experience. Sami’s ability to consult with Dr. Albert Mensah, a brilliant Physician in this field, is an added comfort and bonus. The healing process is not easy, but if you are willing to trust Sami’s guidance, and persevere with the dietary changes and daily nutrients, I feel confident that you can know greater health and freedom that is lasting.”
