Is The MTHFR Gene Mutation Messing With You? with Phil's My Pharmacist EP188

Send us Fan MailGenes are the specific instructions that make you who you are. They are sections of DNA, your body’s master manual, and at the latest estimate, there are around 20,000 genes in the human genome. But genes, like humans, are imperfect, and often have mutations or variations that can cause everything from eye color to hair curl to whether you can curl your tongue.These mutations can also predispose you to certain health conditions and diseases, cause you to metabolize medications too quickly or too slowly, and mess with the way your body manages complex biochemical processes, including enzyme production.One of those genes, called the MTHFR gene, can have a mutation that can specifically interfere with your ability to absorb certain vitamins and detox the body efficiently. About 40% of us have this mutation, and it can predispose you to health issues. In this episode Cody invites Phillip Cowley, aka Phil's My Pharmacist to chat on what it’s all about, and what we can do about it.Phil Cowley, is a real life pharmacist, who is stepping out from behind the counter and is showing up all over Instagram and TikTok!
