#42: What is the MTHFR Gene?!

This episode is about the MTHFR gene. This is a common term going around these days on the internet and most people don’t understand what it really is. It is used a lot in the psychotherapy and mental health field, but it has more impacts than just on mental health. Some people assume they have certain health problems due to the MTHFR gene but do not know if they even have the mutation. The only way to know if you have the gene is to get a DNA test.
