Choline is often overshadowed by other nutrients, but its importance, especially for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation, cannot be overstated. This blog post will explore the vital role of choline in managing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its biochemical pathways, and its overall health benefits.

Understanding the role of zinc in supporting methylation can help those with MTHFR mutations improve their methylation balance and overall well-being.

The connection between MTHFR gene mutations and blood clot risk often centers on homocysteine levels. The common story goes like this: if you have an MTHFR mutation, your homocysteine will be high, and that means you face a greater risk of blood clots. But this narrative oversimplifies a complex relationship.

Brain fog is a frustrating symptom that many people experience without fully understanding its causes. It often feels like a cloud over your thinking, making it hard to focus, remember details, or process information clearly. One key factor linked to brain fog is blood sugar instability. When blood sugar levels swing too high or too low, the brain struggles to function optimally. Another important piece of this puzzle is the MTHFR gene variance, which can influence how the bo

When you receive blood test results showing high folate levels, it might seem positive at first. However, it can signal a potential issue with MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) function and highlight risks related to unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) buildup in the bloodstream.

Brain fog makes all of life more difficult because normal tasks become an uphill battle of hazy focus, forgotten pieces, and slow or stalled thought processes. The connection between MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), blood sugar changes, and brain fog can help you beat this symptom for good.

Navigating nutrition can be confusing, especially for those dealing with the MTHFR gene mutation. This mutation can impact how effectively your body processes certain nutrients, raising the question: is a whole-food diet sufficient, or do you need to introduce supplements? Let's explore this important topic and discover the best nutritional strategy for individuals with MTHFR mutations. Understanding MTHFR and Its Implications The MTHFR gene produces an enzyme critical for pr

Sunlight and folate have a complicated relationship, and new research has showed that the more UV exposure you have, the lower your red blood cell folate levels will be. Protect your folate status this summer!

Detox is easy to get wrong - even for practitioners. So here are some of the basic foundations to good, effective, ongoing detoxification.

Blood tests for folate have one big fatal flaw, making them both innaccurate and functionally useless, and the most common folate levels that we see on the blood tests of people with MTHFR might surprise you.

Glycemic index sounds highly unsexy, which is fair, but it's actually a diet hack that can help you to keep your blood sugars balanced with very little work. You don't even need to know the exact glycemic index of a particular food to understand how to use this system.

The idea that methyl folate could be a better option than folic acid in prenatal vitamins is controversial, because folic acid has been the fertility go-to treatment since it was discovered in the 1930s. The issue is, MTHFR had NOT been discovered in the 1930s, and the research hadn't really dived into the genetic needs of infertile couples yet.
