NOTE

Control Your Genes, Don't Let Them Control You

Toxicity from relationships and stress significantly influences gene expression, challenging the belief that genes dictate fate. Individuals possess substantial control over their genetic outcomes. Caution is necessary when supplementing with methylated B vitamins, particularly in cases of MTHFR mutations, as indiscriminate use can exacerbate inflammation and overwhelm other genes. Instead of supporting MTHFR function, methyl folate can bypass and inhibit its natural processes, leading to an imbalance in biochemical systems. The body operates like an intricate assembly line where one change can disrupt overall function, resulting in side effects such as headaches, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. These side effects may be misattributed to other causes, leading to a cycle of unnecessary additional medications. Hence, it's critical to evaluate individual needs before implementing supplements, ensuring a coordinated approach to support genetic health rather than exacerbating existing issues.
