96. The MTHFR Gene: Why Your Vitamins Might Be Useless (And What to Do)

Did you know that nearly 44-60% of the population could unknowingly carry a gene mutation that impacts their health in significant ways? The MTHFR gene mutation plays a critical role in how our bodies process folic acid, which is essential for various bodily functions, from brain health to pregnancy. If your body can’t properly convert folic acid into its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, it can lead to a range of issues like infertility, miscarriages, ADHD, mood disorders, and digestive problems. In this episode, Gary Brecka reveals studies on how personalized supplementation can be the key to unlocking better health for you!
