Description
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. Our novel approach combines the powerful principles of functional and integrative medicine with advanced medical treatments and technology, data analytics, and collaborative relationships. Contact us to schedule a free 15-minute health advisor call to discuss your health needs and goals: https://www.forumhealth.com/contact/ Website: https://www.forumhealth.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/forumhealthco Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forum_healt… Find a Forum Health practice: https://www.forumhealth.com/locations/
