- Nitric Oxide, MTHFR, and NOS3
MTHFR is well known for causing heart health issues. It’s directly responsible for raising homocysteine levels, it’s implicated in troublesome blood clotting, and it’s indirectly responsible for making it harder to make adequate nitric oxide. All of this is compounded… - S2E33: GST and GPX – Gene SNPs the Affect Glutathione
Last week we reviewed glutathione and its absolutely crucial importance in the body. We also spoke about it in S1E14: MTHFR and Glutathione that details some of the symptoms and diseases linked to low glutathione status and goes over the… - S2E32: Glutathione Review with gene SNPs GGS, and GGT.
We haven’t discussed glutathione in a while, but MTHFR’s effects on glutathione production are of major consequence in the health of all of us MTHFR folks. While a sluggish methylation typically leads to a sluggish glutathione production, there are some… - S2E31: COMT Fast
The COMT fast picture, as you can imagine, is the flip-side of COMT slow. This enzyme works too well, eliminating crucial substances before they have the chance to act. The most well researched polymorphism that contributes to this picture is… - S2E30: Slow COMT
This week, let’s talk about our first of two COMT pictures. COMT slow. Remember, this means the COMT enzyme is less efficient than normal so the catecholamines it is supposed to break down stay in circulation longer. This leads to… - S2E28: COMT and MTHFR.
To kick off our series on other polymorphisms, I’m starting with another heavy-hitter that is deeply entwined with MTHFR. This polymorphism is also in a gene that codes for an enzyme by the name of catechol-O-methyltransferase. I’m hoping that right…
Hi Dr.Amy!
I’m so grateful I came across your podcast. I’ve only listened to about 8 so far… you’re right, it’s a lot of information in a little bit! I have so many questions but for know I will just ask two…
1) Typically how long before you may notice results from taking b vitamins? (Like the B minus from Seeking Health)
2) Is it safe to take daily SAMe or should you pulse it?
Looking forward to hearing back!
Hi Holly,
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the podcast – that is great news!
In terms of “results” – it depends on what you’re looking for. Usually, people notice mood or energy level changes first, and those are very dose-dependent. I try to encourage people to give a dose at least 2 weeks (and more if you’re very sensitive) to see how your body responds before you think of increasing or changing. If you’ve been taking the B minus with no negative effects for 2 weeks and you aren’t seeing too much of a change, you could think about adding in a separate 5-LMTHF at a very low dose and seeing how you respond (or if you know you don’t tolerate 5-LMTHF, then maybe an additional folinic acid or a workaround like the SAMe.)
SAMe is safe to take daily and works best on an empty stomach (30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after).
I hope this is helpful and I hope you’ll consider joining the Genetic Rockstars community – click the link to find out more.
Hi, I’m trying to get ahold of the practice but don’t know how. My patient portal link is no longer valid because I was told I was putting the wrong birthday in when I was registering but I was now. Can you please point me on the right direction and provide contact info to whom I need to talk to to help me
Hi Liana,
Just shoot me an email. amy at (but the at symbol instead) tohealthwiththat.com
Can I have your email for aquestion
Hi Raed,
You can email me at amy @ tohealthwiththat.com Just remove the spaces. I look forward to hearing from you!
I am so glad that I came across your podcasts and blog posts! I have fallen down the rabbit hole of many of your blog posts… but is there a place you have all of them stored so I can read them in order? So grateful for your scientific approach, well-documented statements, and overall thoroughness for the MTHFR topic!
Hi Beth,
That is an absolutely brilliant idea! I started a page just as you describe. It’s a work in progress, but there is plenty there to get you started while I fill in the rest of the episodes. Thanks for the great suggestion and here it is – all the MTHFR posts in order.
