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.

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) often experience the world differently than others. This unique trait can manifest in various ways, from heightened emotional responses to an acute awareness of sensory stimuli. Understanding the neurological and genetic underpinnings of HSP can help individuals identify these traits in themselves and navigate their sensitivities more effectively.
