No, it’s not an expletive! MTHFR is an acronym for a gene that codes for a protein responsible for many important actions in the body. And yet, for some people, a seemingly harmless variation in the coding can result in serious consequences. Understanding whether or not you have such a variant can help you to make decisions that will accommodate and support overall health.

In this episode I cover all the basics, with actionable steps and of course herbs to consider!
