MTHFR affects more than you think, lets get into it.
MTHFR is an enzyme that helps turn folate into its active form (5-MTHF), fueling your methylation cycle, one of your body’s most important processes for:
⚙️ Detoxifying toxins & estrogens
⚙️ Building neurotransmitters (for mood, focus, sleep)
⚙️ Regulating homocysteine (for heart & brain health)
⚙️ Supporting gut lining, immune balance, and more
When MTHFR slows (from genetic mutations like C677T or A1298C), these processes don’t stop, but they struggle.
That’s why symptoms build up slowly and often look “unrelated”:
✅ Anxiety, insomnia, or depression
✅ Hormone imbalances
✅ Gut issues and sensitivities
✅ Fatigue that no coffee can fix
✅ Migraines or chronic pain
But here’s why MTHFR so often gets overlooked: it’s never just MTHFR alone.
Your symptoms reflect how MTHFR mutations interact with your nutrition, stress, gut health, environment, and more.
A plan like my guide is a great place to start because it helps you address more than just folate intake. To feel better even faster, you might need a plan that’s totally personalized.
In the meantime, here are 3 things you can start today:
✅ Increase protein (methylation runs on amino acids)
✅ Support gut health (probiotics + gut lining nutrients)
✅ Reduce stress (cortisol depletes methylation fast)
You’re not stuck…your body just needs the right support.
