746. Methylation Explained: The Key to Better Energy, Mood & Hormone Balance

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right—eating clean, taking your supplements, exercising, sleeping—and yet, something still feels off?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most overlooked but essential processes in your body: methylation. It might sound like something from chemistry class (and technically it is), but it affects everything—from your energy and hormones to detox, mental health, and even how your genes show up in real life.

If you’ve heard of MTHFR or suspect there’s something going on under the surface that no one has been able to explain… this is for you.

Here's What I Cover in This Episode:

• What methylation actually is—and why it matters for your overall health

• The connection between methylation and your detox, mood, hormones, and energy

• Signs you might be struggling with methylation (hint: it’s way more common than you think)

• Why the phrase “genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger” applies to your health journey

• What MTHFR, COMT, PEMT, MTRR, and other gene variants mean for your body

• Why some supplements might not work for you—and how to choose the ones that actually do

• My personal experiences with poor methylation (including that dental numbing story 😅)

• What I test for with my one-on-one clients to finally help them get answers

Things I Mention in This Episode:

• DUTCH Test for hormones and estrogen detox pathways

• Genetic testing for methylation beyond just MTHFR

• GI Mapping to assess digestion and absorption

• Choosing the right B vitamins (say goodbye to cyanocobalamin!)
