What is MTHFR and How Does It Affect Me?

Dr. Tracey Stroup is a Naturopathic Doctor, Certified Natural Health Professional, certified Digestive Health Specialist, Master Herbalist who also has completed courses in Iridology. 

An estimated 40% of the population has this MTHFR gene mutation, which prevents us from being able to effectively use B vitamins or converst folic acid, repair on a cellular level, and use antioxidants to properly detoxify.

Common health conditions like migrains, chronic fatigue, infertility, autoimmune issues, mental health, other neurological problems, even heart disease - all can greatly be impacted by MTHFR.

In this episode, Tracey discusses dietary and lifestyle changes plus supplement recommendations that can help us biohack our genes. As I've mentioned before, your genes load the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger!
