This show is called YOUR NUTRITION PRESCRIPTION because I believe in a personalized approach to nutrition and health. When figuring out Our Optimal Nutrition Strategy one of the factors that we need to consider is our genetics. Our genes do not control our health, but they do impact our response to certain nutritional states.

For example, if you produce less folate genetically, your dietary folate requirements are going to be increased. Along with that, the co-factors that help folate to carry out its role in gene replication, neurotransmitter balance, and detoxification will also be increased given the lower capacity to produce folate.  

If you have this gene variant and you naturally produce less folate and you don’t mindfully eat more folate in your diet, and you also don’t consume sufficient amounts of choline and B12, this is going to severely disrupt these functions and it could lead to increased rates of cancer, poor liver function, depression, and other problems that we will discuss on the show.

Tune more to learn more about this mutation and also to figure out some tips for dealing with the nutritional deficiencies that might arise as a result.

Here is the link to that genetic test that I mentioned on the show.

I recommend going with the Empower product, which I know covers the MTHFR gene.
