What is the MTHFR gene? And Do You Need to Get Tested?

MTHFR. Nope, it’s not a bad word! In this episode, join Functional Nutritionist Brittany Golden to learn more about the MTHFR gene, short for Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase, and its roles in the body.  She shares how MTHFR is a genetic SNIP that can result in a variety of issues ranging from thyroid issues, to heart conditions, and may predispose you to autoimmune conditions. From a nutrition perspective, MTHFR is primarily involved in folate metabolism, and plays a critical role in  Methylation, which is a process that the body uses to detox in the liver, getting rid of neurotransmitters, and especially important for recycling excess female hormones.  At Forum Health, our nationwide community of healthcare practitioners is setting a new standard for healthcare.
