Genetics Eileen Durfee
Eileen Durfee — Real-Life “Boy in the Bubble” Genetics, HTMA & Nutritional Balancing
Eileen’s genetic report shows an unusually dense pattern of functional variants across methylation, detox, neurotransmitter, and vitamin D receptor pathways—far more than the average person. Below you’ll find a clear comparison to population norms, practical takeaways from her HTMA hair analysis, and all three lab images for transparency.
- High density of impactful variants
- HTMA mineral ratios guided support
- Nutritional Balancing framework
- Near-infrared sauna & clean air
- Endo-met practitioner protocols
From “bubble” biology to real-world living
Like the famous story, Eileen’s body needed extra protection—but for a different reason. With slower detox and methylation enzymes, everyday chemicals, stress hormones, and even certain nutrients were harder to process. Understanding her SNPs and mineral patterns turned confusion into a plan.
What this looked like in real life
- Heightened chemical/fragrance sensitivity
- Fatigue and “wired-but-tired” stress responses
- Hormone/mood swings from COMT + MAO-A interplay
- Vitamin D “resistance” from VDR Fok1/Taq1 variants
- Inflammatory flares improved with mineral balancing

HTMA Hair Analysis: Map mineral ratios (Ca/Mg, Na/K) and toxic metals to pair with your genetics.
Nutritional Balancing: Structured minerals, near-infrared sauna, sleep & gentle movement.
Genetic Comparison: Eileen vs. Typical Population
Notes: “Variants” reflect the clinically discussed SNPs shown in the images below. Population entries describe common patterns reported across practitioner summaries. The key insight is the much higher density of impactful variants in Eileen’s profile.
| Pathway | Representative Genes | Average Person | Eileen’s Result | Real-World Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Methylation (Folate/B12) | MTHFR C677T/A1298C, MTR/MTRR, BHMT, MAT1A | 1–2 mild variants | Multiple variants incl. impactful combos | Lower methylfolate; homocysteine strain; needs active Bs, choline donors. |
| Detoxification (Phase I & II) | GSTP1, CYP1A1/CYP1B1, NAT2, GPX1, SOD2 | Scattered singles | Many variants across enzymes | Slower clearance of chemicals/estrogens; higher oxidative stress. |
| Neurotransmitter Balance | COMT, MAO-A | Often single COMT | COMT + MAO-A both affected | Slower breakdown of dopamine/epi/5-HT → stress sensitivity. |
| Vitamin D Signaling | VDR Fok1, VDR Taq1 | Single-site common | Both sites affected | Less efficient vitamin D activation → immune & hormone ripple effects. |
| Energy & Vascular Tone | NOS3, PPARA/PGC1A | Minimal impact | Multiple functional variants | Lower nitric oxide/ATP resilience → fatigue, slower recovery. |
| Cardiometabolic | ACE, AGT, FGB, CBS, APOE | Mixed background | Several risk-modifying variants | Inflammation & homocysteine tendencies; minerals/lifestyle matter. |

FAQs
What is HTMA and why pair it with genetics?
Genetics set tendencies; minerals run the day-to-day chemistry. HTMA shows whether your “blueprint” is being supported (or stressed) so you can correct course with Nutritional Balancing.
Do I need special supplements for these variants?
Many people do better with active B vitamins (like methylfolate/B12), choline donors (e.g., TMG), and mineral ratios tuned via HTMA. Dosage and sequence should be individualized.
How did Eileen support detox safely?
Near-infrared sauna (Sauna Fix), clean air (Breathe Safe), staged minerals, adequate protein, hydration with mineral-rich salt, and rest—adjusted to her HTMA pattern.
