I am somewhat excited to soon embark on the Revised Simplified Methylation Protocol.
The purpose of this blog is really for me to track my progress.
Hopefully I can update this on a semi-regular basis, particularly with milestones and interesting things to note.
If you are not familiar with this here are some great links:
The protocol as outlined by its creator Dr Rich Van Konynenburg
The theory behind the methylation cycle block
