The MTHFR Gene Scam


Listen Later

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack begins with the scam that is the MTHFR gene scam, a widespread marketing fraud involving MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) genetic testing.  Dr. Jack addresses what it is, why it has gained so much attention in recent years, and whether the concern surrounding it is truly warranted. Drawing on research from the past decade, Dr. Jack breaks down the science behind MTHFR deficiencies, including their connection to conditions like hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria, as well as milder elevations in homocysteine levels.

Rather than fueling fear, Dr. Jack offers a grounded and practical perspective, explaining why routine testing for the MTHFR gene may not be necessary for most people. He emphasizes focusing on overall health and lifestyle choices instead of getting caught up in genetic testing trends, and he shares his recommendations for supporting the body naturally.

The conversation also shifts to a powerful and often overlooked aspect of wellness: the body’s own antioxidant production. Dr. Jack reveals what he considers the most powerful antioxidant your body produces, why it plays such a critical role in protecting your cells, and how you can support your body’s ability to maintain optimal levels.

Packed with clarity, myth-busting insights, and actionable advice, this episode is a great reminder that good health doesn’t have to be complicated, it just needs to be understood.

Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, like if the weight loss drugs are worth it and the approach to intermittent fasting.
