Inflammation is a natural response by the body to injury or infection, but when it becomes chronic, it can contribute to many health problems. One factor linked to higher resting levels of inflammation is a genetic variation in the MTHFR gene. This post explores why MTHFR mutations may increase inflammation, reviews current research, and offers practical strategies to reduce inflammation naturally.

Autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis affect millions worldwide, often causing chronic inflammation and a range of debilitating symptoms. Emerging research suggests a link between mutations in the MTHFR gene and a higher risk of developing these autoimmune conditions

Breast implant illness (BII) has gained attention as more people report a range of unexplained symptoms after receiving breast implants. While breast implants are generally considered safe, some individuals experience persistent health issues that they associate with their implants. Recent research suggests a possible link between BII and genetic factors, particularly the MTHFR gene mutation
