MTHFR and Other Gene Variants

TLDR - Your genes are not your destiny, but can be explored after you’ve optimized your environment, lifestyle, and mindset.

In my genetic expressions post, we expand on why your environment, lifestyle, and mindset have significant influence on how your genes express themselves. We also discuss how gene expression can often be more impactful than the genes themselves. There are many genetic variants, such as MTHFR and COMT, that influence enzyme activity. Many influencers promote specific supplements for these variants, but they often overlook the importance of gene expression and the benefits of a nutrient dense diet. If you’re supporting your foundations and eating well, it’s likely you won’t need to supplement just because of a genetic variant. However, if you’ve optimized your environment, lifestyle, and mindset and are still experiencing issues, it may be worthwhile to investigate these gene variants and consider supplementation.
