Episode 305: MTHFR, Genetic Testing & Epigenetics with Carly Bayless, MSN, CHP, FNTP
In this week’s episode, Carly and I are breaking down the MTFHR gene mutation which is believed to affect up to 40% of the population. It is associated with detoxification issues, cognitive function, infertility, birth defects and more. We’re talking about the pros and cons of genetic testing and how a positive genetic mutation result does not mean you are doomed to health challenges. Listen in as we give key insights on lifestyle inputs, lab markers, and supplements to consider when it comes to MTHFR.
