87. WTH Is Up With That MTHFR Gene?

Send us Fan MailDid you know that all humans have the same set of genes? In fact it’s estimated that the human body has somewhere between 20,000- 25,000 genes. Our differences come from the tiny variations in those genes. Those variations influence not only how we look or how we behave differently than others… but in how our body reacts differently to external factors. Especially how it reacts to the foods we eat and the lifestyle we live.One of the more common and potentially problematic variations is known as an MTHFR mutation. On todays Friday Deep Dive, Cody and guest McCall talk about this common gene variation and how it can impact how well our body metabolizes folate, a form of vitamin B9, that's required for so many critical bodily functions. A fault in this metabolic cycle is linked to some serious health problems. Listen in as Cody and McCall talk about some of them today.Listen in to learn about:* What is MTHFR and what does it mean to have this gene mutation? * What signs and symptoms you should be aware of that could be indicators that you have this gene mutation?* How to get tested to see if you have the MTHFR gene mutation?* What percentage of people have the MTHFR gene mutation?* What people should take or avoid taking if they have the MTHFR gene mutation?Did you learn something new?
