MTHFR + inflammation = a tricky combo. 😬
With MTHFR mutations, your methylation pathway is already working harder than average.
So certain foods can create more inflammation, more stress, and more symptoms.
Common triggers include 👇
🍷 alcohol (depletes folate)
🌾 enriched grains (added folic acid)
🍬 sugar + ultra-processed foods
🥛 gluten & dairy (for sensitive systems)
And here’s the part most people miss…
It’s not just what you eat.
It’s what your body can actually break down and absorb.
When digestion is weak:
😖 gut irritation rises
⚠️ immune activation increases
🔥 inflammation climbs
And with MTHFR, that extra inflammatory load can make symptoms flare faster.
That’s why I care so much about supporting digestion … especially if eliminating everything isn’t realistic.
Our Chewable Digestive Enzymes are designed to help break down gluten, dairy, and other harder-to-digest foods so they’re less irritating to sensitive systems.
Not a free pass.
But meaningful support. 💚

🧪 Homocysteine levels 👉 the Good … the Bad … and the Optimal
Conventional medicine might say anything under 15 is fine…
But the data?
It tells a different story. 👇
📉 Newer research shows that levels over 10 can significantly increase your risk of cardiovascular issues like stroke and heart attack 🫀⚡
One study showed up to a 10x higher risk when homocysteine levels exceeded 10. ❗
Even being just slightly over that mark makes a difference. 😬
So what’s ideal? 🤔
Most functional practitioners agree:
😎 5–8 is optimal
👌Under 10 is acceptable
😬 Over 10 = worth paying attention to
The confusion comes from outdated reference ranges… but just because 10–15 is average doesn't mean it's healthy.
💡 If your levels are over 10, it's not panic time… but it is worth tracking, understanding, and supporting through the right nutrients (like B6, B12, and methylfolate).
So, are your levels putting you at risk?
Here are my recommended nutrients that can help:
👉 Methylfolate 2.5 mg – methyl-life.com/products/l-methylfolate-supplement…
👉 B12 Complete with methylcobalamin – methyl-life.com/products/methylcobalamin-b12-vitam…
👉 And our Non-Methylated Multivitamin with active B6 and other methylation cofactors – methyl-life.com/products/non-methylated-multi?utm_…

🧬 Why do I talk so much about MTHFR … and not all the other methylation genes?
Great question … and the short answer is:
👉 Because MTHFR is foundational.
Here’s why ⬇️
✔️ MTHFR is the gene that controls folate metabolism … the pathway that fuels DNA & RNA production (the building blocks of life).
✔️ It also supports detox, mood balance, energy, and so much more.
✔️ When this pathway is impaired, it can set the stage for chronic health issues.
Of course, other genes matter too… but after decades of searching (doctors, naturopaths, acupuncture, neurofeedback, Ayurveda … you name it), the real game-changer for me was finally getting the right form of folate on board.
That’s why I focus on helping people with MTHFR. Because when you get this right, everything else becomes easier. 🌱

Here’a why avoid folic acid? 👇
Because for many people (especially those with MTHFR)
folic acid isn’t just unhelpful… it can be problematic.
Folic acid is a synthetic version of folate (B9).
Your body has to convert it before it can be used …
and that conversion depends heavily on the MTHFR enzyme.
For a lot of people, that step doesn’t work efficiently.
The result? 👇
🩸 unmetabolized folic acid building up
🧬 disrupted folate metabolism
🔥 more stress on an already sensitive system
And here’s the sneaky part 👀
Folic acid isn’t just in supplements.
It’s added to:
🍞 bread
🍝 pasta
🥣 cereals
💊 many multivitamins
So exposure adds up fast … often without people realizing it.
💡 This isn’t about fear.
It’s about informed choices.
👉 Check your labels.
👉 If it says folic acid, skip it.
👉 Look for methylfolate … the active form your body can actually use.
And if you want a clean, quality option…

🧬 MTHFR can be confusing 😵💫, but here’s my attempt to explain how it works in simple terms.
➡️ Let's start with vitamins and nutrients.
Vitamins are great, BUT not all vitamins are in a form that your body can immediately use.
They need to be converted into their active (bioavailable) forms before you can benefit from them. 🔄️
☝️ And this is where MTHFR comes in...
When it comes to Vitamin B9 (folate)... it’s the MTHFR gene that contains the genetic code for producing the enzyme that converts it into its active form 👉 which is methylfolate.
However, when your MTHFR gene is mutated 🦠, *meaning there’s an error in the genetic code*, the enzyme it produces doesn’t work as efficiently to convert folate. 👎
➡️ This can lead to (methyl)folate deficiency—which isn’t great.
Why is it bad?
Because methylfolate plays a key role in many important functions in your body.❗
And when there’s not enough 🪫, those functions can get thrown off balance…which can show up as various health issues. 🤒
Aaaand that’s MTHFR in a nutshell.
Please, let me know if this explanation was clear or if I’d need to work on it. 👉 Comment “Clear” or “Not clear”

So… are you taking B12 the right way? 🤔
If you just swallow your B12 pill… you might be wasting it. 😬
That’s because B12 absorbs best through the mucous membranes in your mouth … especially under your tongue. 👅
For better results:
✅ Chew the pill slightly, then hold the pieces under your tongue and let them dissolve.
✅ If it’s a capsule, open it and pour the contents under your tongue. Let it melt away naturally.
And here’s the kicker…
…The form of B12 you take also matters.
Some forms work better depending on your genes (like COMT 158 or VDR Taq).

♻️ Detox isn’t just a trend…
And if you have MTHFR? … It’s non-negotiable. 👇
🧬 People with MTHFR often have trouble making glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
Why does that matter?
Because glutathione is the heavy lifter that helps clear out:
➡️ Heavy metals
➡️ BPA + plastic toxins
➡️ And all the other environmental junk we absorb daily 🤮
When glutathione isn’t doing its job, toxins build up faster… and stick around longer.
So, you’re either:
✅ actively clearing toxins out
❌ or slowly getting buried under them
And if you’ve got MTHFR?
You're already starting with a disadvantage.
🧼 Detox and health go hand in hand… especially when your body needs extra support.
Now…
How can you boost that Glutathione?
1️⃣ You can take Glutathione supplements directly (but it’s quite pricey).
OR
2️⃣ A more cost effective alternative is NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) which is a precursor of glutathione.
And if that sounds interesting…
👉 We’ve just launched a product using a special NAC form I’m really excited about.

🕒 What’s the best time to take methylfolate?
Simple answer: Morning or lunchtime.
⚡ Because methylfolate can be energizing, taking it too late might mess with your sleep.
⌛ It also has a 4–6 hour half-life, which means it tapers off pretty quickly. So if you want more stable levels throughout the day...
💊 Try splitting your dose:
Half in the morning, half around noon.
❓Missed a dose?
No big deal. Don’t double up—just take your regular amount the next day.
(And of course, talk to your healthcare provider for personalized advice.)

🚨 Why Avoid Gluten & Dairy with MTHFR?
If you have an MTHFR mutation, your body is already more prone to inflammation 🔥.
And guess what? Gluten and dairy are major culprits that can make things worse.
By cutting them out:
⬇️ You can reduce inflammation
⬇️ Support your overall health
⬇️ Ease some MTHFR-related issues
This is especially important if you’re dealing with an autoimmune condition 🛡️.
MTHFR mutations may increase your risk of autoimmunity, and both gluten and dairy are linked to triggering symptoms.
💡 The takeaway: Reducing these triggers could help you manage symptoms and feel better.

🥛🥖 What are “fortified foods”… and should you avoid them if you have MTHFR?
You’ve probably heard the advice: “Stay away from fortified foods.” But what does that actually mean? 🤔
➡️ Fortified = nutrients added (that weren’t originally there)
➡️ Enriched = nutrients replaced (that were lost during processing)
Examples:
🧂 Iodized salt → prevents goiter
🥛 Vitamin D in milk → prevents rickets
🍊 Calcium in juice → supports bones
🍞 Folic acid in grains → reduces neural tube defects
✅ Great for public health.
❌ Not so great if you have MTHFR.
Here’s why 👇
🔬 With MTHFR, your body may struggle to process folic acid (the synthetic form of folate). This can lead to a buildup of unmetabolized folic acid … which nobody wants.
🛑 What to watch for on labels:
– If it says folic acid → walk away 🚶♀️
– If it says folate but doesn’t clarify → still risky (likely synthetic in processed foods)
✅ Better bets:
– Foods proudly labeled “Folic Acid Free”
– Many keto, grain-free, or imported products
– Always check labels (organic ≠ folic acid free)
