Do you ever have anxiety? Depression?

Tremors, twitches, heart palpitations or spasms?

Any psychiatric or neurological issue can be a sulfur problem.

If you care about your mitochondrial health and your longevity, you need to care about your sulfur metabolism.

There are different types of sulfur molecules that can accumulate to toxic levels, so the problems aren’t always the same.

For one person, it’s fatigue and nausea. For another, it’s diarrhea or poor digestion. For yet another, it’s strange purple spots on their skin.

For another, it’s negative reactions to supplements like thiamin, glutathione, or B6.

For everyone, optimizing sulfur metabolism is key to mitochondrial health, wellness, performance, and longevity.

Unfortunately, some things that help can just as easily hurt. For example, we need CoQ10 to clear sulfur properly, but some people experience insomnia or overstimulation when they take CoQ10, even when their data makes it clear they need it.

There is both an art and a science when dealing with sulfur issues. This protocol walks you through both aspects. Because sulfur metabolism is so complex, it guides you through “Assembling Your Personal Protocol” by selecting from all the possible components to suit the protocol to your needs.

Beyond generally wanting to optimize your health, here is a list of specific reasons you would want to drill deep with this protocol:

  • any psychiatric or neurological problem, difficulty sleeping, muscle tension, or excessive startling

  • any issues with allergies or histamine

  • fatigue, nausea, vomiting,

  • “hangriness” that is not verifiably due to low blood sugar and resolved by stabilizing blood sugar

  • diarrhea, excessive gastrointestinal transit time

  • heart palpitations, twitches and spasms, chronic pain, tremors

  • high estrogen, low testosterone, any problems that appear as high estrogen or low testosterone but are not accompanied by the expected changes in those hormones

  • petechiae, purpura, cancer, anything resembling hypoxia such as blue hands and feet upon standing

  • any sulfur-related odors such as rotten eggs or matches

  • any form of intolerance to any dietary or supplemental component that contains sulfur anywhere in its structure, like thiamin or lipoic acid

  • or any intolerance to any of the following: fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, ketogenic diets, any kind of catabolic state, B6, calcium, riboflavin, or CoQ10.

This protocol is a 10-page quick guide to dealing with sulfur issues that isolates all the highly actionable points into one simple place and walks you through how to select and implement them.

This is educational in nature and not medical or dietetic advice. See terms for additional and more complete disclaimers.
