MTHFR 🧬 Ever heard of it? Only in recent years has MTHFR become more widely known, though it is still widely misunderstood. The MTHFR gene encodes an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, crucial for a process called methylation. 🔄 Methylation has many roles in the body, and plays a pivotal role in detoxification, DNA repair, neurotransmitter balance, and so much more. Maybe you have leaky gut, frequent migraines, history of miscarriages... maybe your kiddo has food sensitivities

MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. About 50% of women experience “baby blues,” or a brief period of mild depression for a few days to a few weeks after giving birth. But 10-20% will suffer more severe postpartum depression.Research suggests that MTHFR genetic mutations may lead to reduced folate metabolism, which in turn can impact the production and function of these neurotransmitters. This disruption in neurotransmitter function may contribute to the development of depressio
