The Hill I Will Die On: Folic Acid, Folate and the MTHFR Gene Mutation

from Girl, Do It Yourself Podcast · host Jessica Dowd

In this episode, I share why the MTHFR gene mutation, folic acid vs folate, and methylation are the health topics I’m most passionate about and why it is the hill I will die on. I talk about my personal experience with reoccurring miscarriages and how learning about MTHFR changed not just my health, but my entire family’s. I explain how folic acid can negatively affect those with the mutation, how methylation impacts mood, energy, and overall wellness, and why awareness and small lifestyle changes matter. This isn’t medical advice, it’s my lived experience, label-reading, and an invitation to take a more informed, empowered approach to your health.
