MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) are genetic mutations or variants that are estimated to be present in 44-60% (some estimate as high as 70%) of the population. These genetic variants cause us to not “methylate” well which basically means we do not detoxify well and we do not turn our food into energy well. Methylation is the core process that occurs in every cell of our body to make biochemical conversions. Methylation impacts everything from brain chemistry to hormone balancing, dige

The MTHFR gene (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is essential for converting folate into its active form. Mutations can reduce enzyme activity, leading to elevated homocysteine levels. This is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, and pregnancy complications. These mutations may be linked to mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, by affecting neurotransmitter synthesis and methylation processes. Individuals with MTHFR mutations might bene

Let’s Talk About MTHFR — The Gene That Impacts Your Energy If you’re constantly tired no matter how much you rest, your MTHFR gene may be part of the reason. MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) is a genetic SNP—a small DNA variation that affects how your body processes folate (vitamin B9). The most common variants, C677T and A1298C, can reduce your ability to make ATP, your body’s main energy source. This can lead to low energy, poor detox, and mood challenges. The good news: supporting
