Welcome back to another episode of the She Talks Health podcast! I’m thrilled to bring you a conversation with Ricardo Miranda, CEO of MTHFRdoctors.com, where we get to nerd out about the MTHFR gene and how much it affects different functions in the body. We dive deep into MTHFR gene mutations, and its significant impact on health conditions like thyroid disease, anxiety, cortisol, and detoxification issues.

Ricardo shares his knowledge on how the MTHFR gene controls our body’s ability to break down folate, and the importance of distinguishing between folate and folic acid. We discuss how these MTHFR genetic mutations can be tested, what the results might mean for your health, and practical steps you can take to support your methylation process.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid condition or are dealing with symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, or insomnia, or simply want to understand your genetic blueprint better, this episode is packed with in-depth explanations behind the correlation between methylation, detoxification, and gene expression.

Understanding and testing your MTHFR function can provide critical information to manage your health more effectively. Don’t miss out on this science-y conversation that could be a game-changer for your wellness journey.
