60 percent of people listening right now carry a genetic mutation — and most have no idea. It could be behind your anxiety, your fatigue, your migraines, your depression. And nobody ever thought to check. The gene has been known since the 1990s. It just never made it out of the research lab and into your doctor's office. Until now.
MTHFR is an enzyme your body needs to process your body's master switch for detox, DNA repair, and mood regulation. Between 40 and 60 percent of people carry at least one variant. About 15 percent carry two, which can slash enzyme function by up to 70 percent.
The symptom list reads like modern life: brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, migraines, insomnia, IBS, and slow recovery. For women, add recurrent miscarriage, infertility, and postpartum depression to that list.
