While it serves as a broad screening tool, BMI lacks the nuance necessary to accurately reflect individual health outcomes. It does not account for vital factors such as muscle mass, fat distribution, or metabolic health.

What it is: The methylation cycle is a process within the body that is required for cell function, energy production, DNA repair, gene expression regulation, detoxification, and many other biological processes. Exercise, sleep, and nutrition all influence DNA methylation via methyl groups that can turn genes on or off, regulating various biological processes. The process depends upon enzymes known as methyltransferases to transfer methyl groups to proteins, DNA, and within ce
