216// ADHD and COMT Gene Mutation: Why You Need to Care About this SNP if You Have ADHD

29 minutes

Last week, I did an episode on ADHD and the MAOA gene mutation. When I released the episode, I told ya'll that this was THE gene mutation that was connected to ADHD and it was going to be a great episode.

Well...it was a great episode! But, as I was collecting the data for the episode, I realized that I had forgotten about another gene mutation that ALSO highly indicated ADHD.

Drumroll please 🥁

It is...the COMT gene mutation!

On today's episode, I'm sharing all about the COMT gene mutation, what it's role is in the body, signs and symptoms you might have this gene mutation, and how you can support it naturally.

I hope this episode opens your eyes, and gives you a new way to see your ADHD and how you can support yourself.

Cheers!
