Description
This podcast breaks up BIG health topics, like MTHFR and methylation, into small, easy bites. All in ten minutes or less. We'll discuss why folic acid can be toxic, how the MTHFR enzyme links to estrogen and toxins, why you want to turn genes off, and how folate and mental health are connected. 2024-2025 will add new "bonus" episodes to Season 1 to clarify and revise concepts while Dr. Amy is writing a book.

Mary's MTHFR story - MTHFR and repeat pregnancy loss.
2025/09/28
MTHFR Stories are interviews with regular people who have MTHFR and are willing to share their health journey to help others.
Mary's MTHFR journey centers around pregnancy loss with several second-trimester miscarriages and a stillbirth. She bravely talks about the exhaustion that she has struggled with after such a deep physical toll was taken on her body by the pregnancies, and the emotional journey she has been on. Mary has other issues associated with MTHFR as well including hypermobility and hypothyroidism, both of which contributed to her difficult pregnancies.
Mary's journey is a reminder to women to advocate for themselves, not to blindly trust it when your doctor says "it's normal," and to do their own research about recommendations, such as 5 mg of folic acid for women struggling with infertility who also have MTHFR gene mutations.
00:46 - Mary and MTHFR
01:46 - Hypermobility and MTHFR
02:29 - Bad reactions to methylfolate (migraines)
03:15 - More about hypermobility
04:14 - Pregnancy loss and infertility with MTHFR
06:04 - Hypothyroidism, MTHFR and stillbirth
06:53 - Nutritional deficiencies
08:05 - MTHFR is linked to all of these - infertility, multiple pregnancy loss, hypermobility, and hypothyroidism.
09:04 - Raising awareness for women
10:15 - Emotional impact of pregnancy loss
11:30 - The societal value of childless women
12:25 - problems with 5mg folic acid as a fertility intervention with MTHFR

Lisa touches on many familiar MTHFR issues - allergies, impatience, food sensitivities, blood sugar imbalance, struggles with weight, lip tie, and perfectionism.

Methylation Adaptogens, or Proof that God Loves Us.
2025/06/01
In the last episode, we talked about CBD as a methylation adaptogen, but we haven' talked too much about that term so let's dive in. We know that everyday methylation is important for people with the MTHFR gene or with any methylation dysfunction, but it turns out that long-term methylation care is important too and this can be achieved by getting methylation adaptogens.Methylation adaptogens are substances that help to regulate the amount your genes are methylated. Remember that when genes are methyalted, they are turned off and when they are unmethylated they are turned on. So having stretches of your genome that are undermethylated means the genes in there are allowed to function out of control, and that could lead to bigger problems like cancer.Methylating your genes appropriately is one of the long-term ways to prevent disease and even benefit your children, because research has shown that the way you methylate your genes might pass to your children. Not just the genes themselves, but the methylation tags.The most researched compounds that have been called methylation adaptogens come from food sources - things like caffeic acid from coffee and cruciferous veggies, lycopene from tomatoes and watermelon, resveratrol from red wine.

MTHFR and Marijuana. - What We Know Now.
2025/04/27
Pot is the third most used drug in North America after alcohol and tobacco, so questions about Cannabis and MTHFR are important to ask. The answers, of course, are mixed with some serious pitfalls and also some surprising benefits of CBD for people with MTHFR gene mutations.Nothing is ever fully good or fully bad, and marijuana for MTHFR is the same. When you have an MTHFR gene variant, it is important to know your own risks to make an educated decision about what you want to put in your body. Medical marijuana is widely available and can come in various strengths of THC and CBD, which will affect people with the MTHFR gene mutation in different ways.With MTHFR we do have a different risk profile than average, so educate yourself, advocate for yourself, and be careful about what you put in your body.Thanks so much for watching!

The Artist and The Activist Methylation Personality Types
2025/03/16
Methylation imbalance and the causative factors leading to methylation imbalance, like the MTHFR gene mutation, show themselves in four distinct personality types. These methylation personality types, methylation archetypes, or MTHFR personalities are called The Achiever, The Athlete, The Activist, and The Artist.The Activist and The Artist are very closely linked. Neither are terribly ambitious or driven, except in the thing that matters to them, whether it's their art, their job (which might not be art or activism), or the cause that matters to them. Both tend to have fewer allergic-type reactions but are more likely to have food sensitivities or chemical sensitivities. Things like wheat sensitivity, soy sensitivity, rashes with the wrong laundry detergent, or headaches after smelling perfume. Both of these personalities thrive on leftovers and fermented foods, even though leftovers and fermented foods are high in histamine.These two personality types also tend to react predictably to supplements, nutrients, and even pharmaceutical drugs. Anything that boosts serotonin, so SSRI medications, St. John's Wort, and melatonin aren't great for these groups. Likewise, the major methyl donors like SAMe, TMG, and DMG are typically not well tolerated by the artist and the activist. Conversely, these groups usually do very well with good sources of folate, like L-5MTHF, food-sourced folate, or folinic acid. Like all people with methylation imbalance, folic acid should not be taken because it can make methylation imbalances worse. Also, the benzodiazepine class of pharmaceuticals is usually well tolerated (although your doctor knows the best choice of pharmaceuticals for you, and your doctor's information is always more informed and correct for you than ours.)Thanks so much for watching today! If you haven't yet discovered your methylation archetype or methylation personality, take the quiz for free now at tohealthwiththat.comAlso, if you're a crappy methylator, MTHFR mutant, or have chronic health issues and you can't figure out why, then check out our online health community.

Both are extremely ambitious, perfectionistic, competitive, and driven. Both tend to have more allergic-type reactions to the world. Things like hay fever, hives, dermatographia, and skin flushing with a workout. Neither of these personalities tend to tolerate leftovers very well (because leftovers are also high in histamine).These two personality types also tend to react predictably to supplements, nutrients, and even pharmaceutical drugs. Anything that boosts serotonin, so SSRI medications, St. John's Wort, and melatonin do well for these groups. Likewise, the major methyl donors tend to do well. These are SAMe, TMG, and DMG. Conversely, these groups don't do as well with folate, even the MTHFR-safe forms like L-5MTHF or folinic acid. Also, the benzodiazepine class of pharmaceuticals isn't usually the best choice (although your doctor knows the best choice of pharmaceuticals for you, and your doctor's information is always more informed and correct for you than ours.)Thanks so much for watching today!

Discover Your Methylation Personality: Achiever, Activist, Artist, Athlete.
2025/01/12
Methylation imbalance, often caused by the MTHFR gene mutation, by folic acid excess, or by nutritional deficiencies, shows itself in several personality traits.
Some personality traits are common to people with methylation dysfunction, like perfectionism, OCD-tendencies, anxiety, hyper-focus or hypo-focus, and others. These common traits emerge in each methylation archetype pattern in slightly different ways, and by using your personality to determine your methylation archetype, you can benefit by getting general guidelines about supplements and even prescription medications that might work for you.
