David Delgado is the founder of Otherway, a nutraceutical company focused on methylation, cellular energy and personalised supplementation. His work grew out of his own seven-year health journey with heavy metal toxicity, chronic fatigue and brain fog, which led him to explore methylation as a broader foundation for energy production, detoxification, nervous system resilience and cellular health. In this episode, David breaks down what methylation actually is, why MTHFR has become such a major topic in health and wellness, and how much our genes really influence our health. We explore genetics versus epigenetics, the impact of stress and our environment on gene expression, and the connections between methylation, mitochondria, detoxification, brain function, gut health and longevity. We also dive deep into supplementation, including B vitamins, creatine, collagen and organ supplements, what role they may play in supporting methylation and cellular health, and why more supplementation is not always better. We cover: What methylation actually is, why it matters for energy, detoxification, brain function and longevity, and whether the current obsession with MTHFR is justified.Genetics versus epigenetics, how stress, lifestyle and environmental exposures can influence gene expression, and why your genes do not necessarily determine your health outcomes.The relationship between methylation, mitochondrial function, gut health, neurotransmitters, ageing and the body's ability to deal with environmental stressors and toxins.Supplements including B vitamins, creatine, collagen and organ supplements, how they may support methylation, detoxification and general health, and where supplementation can go wrong.Testing, biomarkers and practical ways to support healthy methylation through nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management and lifestyle rather than relying on supplements alone. If you are interested in methylation, longevity, detoxification, supplements, personalised health, or how your genes and environment interact, this episode offers a broader way to think about optimising health. David explains how nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation and environmental exposures all come together to influence how well your body functions over time.
