Do you know your homocysteine level? What can homocysteine tell us about our methylation and overall health status? How can you lower elevated homocysteine? If it seems like we’re speaking a foreign language, don’t worry, we break it all down in today’s episode all about this important biomarker! 

 

Elevated homocysteine levels can be brought on by gene mutations like MTHFR as well as medications, poor diet, toxin exposure, hormone imbalances, and stress. B vitamins from our food and supplements act as methyl donors that help keep your body's homocysteine at healthy levels and methylation working optimally. Learn how to assess homocysteine, what elevated levels mean, and how you can lower them with diet, lifestyle and supplementation!
