Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda Moldovan speaks with Dr. Tyler Panzer, a PhD scientist with expertise in pharmacology and genetics, about how genetic testing can revolutionize our approach to supplementation and health. Dr. Panzer shares his personal journey of using genetic insights to solve his own health issues with anxiety, brain fog, and sleep problems.

Dr. Panzer explains how standard genetic testing reports often miss crucial information and why truly personalized medicine requires deeper analysis. He uses vitamin D as a powerful example, demonstrating how mutations in different genes can affect our ability to produce, convert, and utilize this essential nutrient. This explains why some people remain deficient despite high supplementation or sun exposure, and why blood levels that appear "normal" may still be insufficient for cellular function.

The conversation explores how common supplements like curcumin, resveratrol, and berberine can actually worsen symptoms for people with certain genetic profiles. Dr. Panzer introduces his concept of "hyper-personalized medicine," focusing on cellular needs rather than disease labels, and explains why seemingly unrelated conditions may respond to similar interventions when approached from this perspective. He shares remarkable client success stories, including cases where targeted supplements based on genetic analysis quickly resolved panic attacks and improved Alzheimer's symptoms.
