You get your bloodwork back and your homocysteine is elevated. If you've ever looked at Instagram ever your first thought is probably "It must be MTHFR!" You might be right, especially if you have an MTHFR C677T variant, which is most closely associated with high homocysteine. But there are many other reasons for homocysteine to be elevated, so don't stop looking once you see MTHFR.

Search for information about MTHFR online and you'll quickly encounter two very different messages. One group screams if you have an MTHFR variant, avoid folic acid and use methylfolate instead. The other group insists that people with MTHFR variants can process folic acid, so there is no reason to avoid it. Today, we'll explore the research and answer the question "Do you really need to avoid folic acid if you have MTHFR?"

PEMT quietly works alongside MTHFR, and when both are affected, the impact on health can be much more significant. MTHFR and PEMT must be managed together to avoid consequences to fertility, liver function, neurotransmitters, and more.

If you’ve been navigating the world of MTHFR gene mutations, you might have come across a lot of confusing information about vitamins, especially vitamin B12. It’s a crucial nutrient, but not all B12 supplements are created equal—especially when it comes to supporting your unique genetic makeup. Today, I want to walk you through the best ways to choose the right B12 for your MTHFR mutation, so you can feel confident and empowered in your health journey.

Vitamin B6 plays a critical role in several biochemical processes essential for health. One of its most important functions is supporting the activation of folate and facilitating methylation pathways. These processes are vital for DNA synthesis, gene expression, and overall cellular function

Your daily choices, what you eat, how you sleep, how you manage stress, and your exposure to toxins, all influence how MTHFR impacts your body. Finding a healthy MTHFR lifestyle is crucial for your health.
