All humans have the same set of genes.
Our differences come from the tiny variations in those genes.
Those variations influence not only in how you look or behave different to others… But in how your body reacts differently to external factors.
Especially how it reacts to the foods you eat.
For example, some have great difficulty metabolising caffeine. For others, it could be alcohol.
Then there are the people who have zero issues with either.
This is because we all have certain genetic variations or “defects” that can influence how we metabolise certain nutrients.
One of the more common and potentially dangerous variations is known as an MTHFR mutation.
This gene variation can severely impact how well your body metabolises folate and folic acid. Both are forms of vitamin B9, required for numerous critical bodily functions.
Unfortunately, a fault in this metabolic cycle is linked to many serious health problems.
This video describes the MTHFR mutation and explores what implications it may have for your health and diet.
What You’ll Learn:
- What is MTHFR, the MTHFR gene, and MTHFR mutation?
- MTHFR mutation may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and vitamin B deficiencies
- What about other disease states and disabilities, like anxiety?
- MTHFR symptoms of a problem
- Folic acid is a problem, 5-MTHF is a solution
- Folic acid, MTHFR and pregnancy
- MTHFR diet and nutrition recommendations

I've had disabling brain fog and was diagnosed with autism and adhd 2 years ago as a 40yo. I tried methyl folate and methyl cobalamin 2 days ago and ALL my symptoms are in remission!! This is so frustrating to realize no GP, psychiatrist, psychologist I've seen over the last decade investigate this. Instead prescribing SSRI for depression. This incompetence is out of control. Thanks for you video. I lost my career, wife and kids (divorce) and became homeless. All that could have been avoided with a genetic test and a $15 bottle of methyl b complex from chemist warehouse. Damn.

To those who don't think it's real you don't need to do anything if you don't want to. But if you don't want many problems that may take years to manifest and taking a little extra care with dietary selection and some supplementation is worth it in my opinion. You'll know your errors when you find out your arteries have plague it or you miscarry or develope any of many other issues. I hope your children don't get autism after a vaccine or are born prematurely and have cerebral palsy. It's not a joke. Best wishes.

This was good up to the point where you claimed that "a deficiency in folic acid could be linked to MTHFR..." That is akin to saying one has a headache due to an "aspirin deficiency". Folic acid is not only NOT true folate; it is useless and damaging to those with MTHFR mutations. There is so much misunderstanding out there regarding MTHFR; there is absolutely no excuse for anyone who claims to provide information instead providing MISinformation.

Folic acid is a man made chemical. It is useless until it's converted into the active bioavailable form by the cell enzyme methyltetrahydrofolate reductase. Up to fifty percent of people are compromised in this gene & the conversion is seriously compromised. As the synthetic folic acid attaches to the cells' receptors & can't go any further it blocks even natural folate from entering the cells. The wisest solution is when supplementing is to take methylfolate or folinic acid if the former isn't well tolerated due to a ramping up of methylation which can be uncomfortable. Btw - if this does happen it can be stopped very quickly in its tracks by taking niacin (or niacinamide if the flush is intolerable)

That's what my family said but I've nearly died from it more than once. They taking it more serious now. I had saddle oulmony embolism from it at 21 yrs old. They didn't think I would live. It covered my lungs left to right I couldn't breathe and was hurting my heart and I still struggle every day with this mutation and insurance doesn't pay for it since it's generally supplementation aspects can be bought online or such but not everyone reacts the same to whatever size doses of these too so it's hard cause it's like what 300 bucks for a visit and a lot of people can't afford it I wish we could change this cause people are dying and hurting so much from this and can't afford the testing or certain things of researching. I struggle hardcore from food sensitivities, skin sensitivities and more issues. God bless u. I'm glad u posted ur comment and were curious. Thanks for wondering. The more people wonder about it or look into it and talk it,the better.

Beans and legumes are certainly not advisable for anyone to take if they have this gene mutation and experience gastrointestinal symptoms or have an autoimmune disease. In these conditions the gut is permeable (leaky gut) and beans, legumes and all grains contain many compounds, (used for defense against other insects) that irritate the gut lining, further damaging the enterocytes (the cells that line the small intestine and help us digest and break down food) and widening of the tight junctions that keep the gut intact. Furthermore these compounds can form in our tissues, causing toxicity throughout the body and act as anti -nutrients, preventing us from absorbing the nutrients in the plant sourced foods and other foods we eat. If anyone here has this condition please look up the Autoimmune paleo diet and the ketogenic diet. These diets are focused on reducing inflammation, repairing the gut, healing the body and restoring health through the main consumption of animal products. There is also a plethora of science backing everything up and shows why we absorb nutrients far more effectively through animal sourced foods rather than plants.

I read that AC1298 homozygous doesnt lead to elevated homocysteine levels, only the other MTHFR mutation does. Is that accurate?
@Joe_Leech
@Joe_Leech 8 ай бұрын
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in folate metabolism and the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Mutations in the MTHFR gene can lead to altered enzyme activity, which, in turn, can affect the body's ability to process homocysteine. There are two common MTHFR gene mutations that have been studied: C677T mutation: This mutation is associated with reduced MTHFR enzyme activity. Individuals who are homozygous (having two copies) for the C677T mutation may have elevated homocysteine levels. This can potentially increase the risk of certain health issues, including cardiovascular disease and neural tube defects in pregnancy. A1298C mutation: The A1298C mutation is another common variant of the MTHFR gene. However, research suggests that this mutation is not as strongly associated with elevated homocysteine levels as the C677T mutation. Some studies have even shown that it may have a more limited impact on homocysteine metabolism. It's important to note that the relationship between MTHFR gene mutations and homocysteine levels can vary from person to person. Not everyone with an MTHFR gene mutation will have elevated homocysteine levels, and other factors such as diet and lifestyle can also influence homocysteine levels. If you have concerns about MTHFR gene mutations and their potential impact on your health, it's a good idea to discuss them with a healthcare provider or a genetic counselor. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific genetic profile and help you make informed decisions about your health and any necessary interventions or dietary modifications. Additionally, they can help you understand the latest research findings and their relevance to your individual situation.

I was diagnosed with this a handful of months ago and I got prescribed folic acid tablets. Will that do any harm? One of my other issues is gastrointestinal and an autoimmune disease so I have a LOT of food allergies. So I'm allergic to all of the foods you listed that were high in folate bescides mangos. If I ate one mango a day I would start getting sick from it around 3-4 days later; if I were to skip a dose of my daily meds it would probably be a day or a day and a half. So will the folic acid tablet be okay?

Very helpful! I know for a fact that I have these gene mutations. There is so much hyped up nonsense out there, mostly coming from naturopaths and others who don't really know what they're talking about. I really dislike that kind of scaremongering. If I eat a folate-rich diet I feel awesome. Problem solved. ;)

Hmm, this isn't something I have done research on, sorry. If MTHFR causes low B12 then it could have impacts on energy levels in general which could have knock impacts on drive for many activities.

You are mispronouncing the letter H. It is pronounced *aitch* not _haitch_ despite it perhaps seeming counterintuitive. Normally I wouldn’t say but considering the subject of this video being MTHFR it really does stand out.

It's disturbing that you had to act like Dr. Lynch isn't an authority when in fact he is. He always backs up his reports with research and states when it is a theory rather than proven fact. Naturopaths actually know more when it comes to nutrition as that is what they study where as our medical doctors, unfortunately and to no fault of their own, do not. Please don't bad mouth the doctors that can actually be a help to many.

i liked your talk until you tried to bash Dr. Lynches work- he did the research and is still a doctor whether natural or medical. So tired of people liek you that come on you tube and think you know by practicing how to say things and then discrediting research of valid health professionals- not ok- i watched Dr. Lynch on this topic- hes the best and gives great advice- he also has the genetics- and wrote the book. did you write a book? or have a practice?

G Roberts I agree . I am homozygous mthfr c677t mutant carrier and was tested at mayo . No one told me to do anything about it . In fact, the dumb dr prescribed iron pills with folic acid and cyonocobalamin . I don’t think any of these charlatans know what they’re doing, it’s Just a business , Everything I’ve looked up , is some wacko suggesting things anc it’s from a specific company like supplements or their lame book It’s such hogwash . I’m riddled with symptoms but there is no way to do anything about it . No one knows anything at all and so many are getting tested by 23andme and other fruitcake places then going to wackos and getting on weird regimens . No rhyme or reason .

There are multiple substantiated research studies from around the world on this mutation and its connection to several conditions. These are scholarly articles from scientists and doctors around the world. How can it be "unbelievable"? One gets a blood test and get your confirmation if you have it. Doctors are also using this test to help determine which ADHD meds are appropriate. You'll have to actually do some research, which it is clear you have not done or you would know that it is indeed your claim that scientific research disproves.
