🎙️ Episode 62: MTHFR & Digestion — The Missing Link (Part 1)
MTHFR & Digestion: Why Your Gut, Liver, and Gallbladder Are More Connected Than You Think
If you struggle with sluggish digestion, food sensitivities, chronic fatigue, or gallbladder issues — especially if “doing everything right” still hasn’t worked — this episode is for you.
MTHFR is one of the most common genetic variations affecting folate metabolism, detoxification, and bile flow — yet it’s rarely discussed in digestive health conversations. In this episode, we unpack what MTHFR is, what it means to carry the C677T variant, and how this gene can quietly influence digestion, detox, and gallbladder health.
In part one of this two-part series, we focus on foundational understanding and the first critical step you can take to support your body without overwhelm.
In this episode, we talk about:
🧬 What MTHFR is and why up to 40% (most likely MORE) of people carry the C677T variant
🧠 The difference between heterozygous, homozygous, and compound heterozygous MTHFR
💛 How impaired methylation affects bile flow, digestion, and gallbladder function
🚫 Why synthetic folic acid can worsen symptoms and where it’s hiding in foods and supplements
✨ The 1st MUST DO step for supporting digestion and detox when you have MTHFR…or suspect you do

📖 Key Scripture:
For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.
~Isaiah 55:8-9
