96. The MTHFR Gene: Why Your Vitamins Might Be Useless (And What to Do)

Did you know that nearly 44-60% of the population could unknowingly
carry a gene mutation that impacts their health in significant
ways? The MTHFR gene mutation plays a critical role in how our
bodies process folic acid, which is essential for various bodily
functions, from brain health to pregnancy. If your body can’t
properly convert folic acid into its active form,
5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, it can lead to a range of issues like
infertility, miscarriages, ADHD, mood disorders, and digestive
problems. In this episode, Gary Brecka reveals studies on how
personalized supplementation can be the key to unlocking better
health for you! Read the Journal of Clinical Medicine’s full
