Are you "neuro-spicy"?
This is a term my friend and genetics expert Rhiannon Neuharth uses for ladies who have of ADD, ADHD, and anxiety.
And it's pretty darn accurate if you've experienced these issues.
On the most recent episode of The Thriving Mama podcast she shared eye-opening insights about the impact of genes like MTHFR on our overall health and neuro-spiciness.
Rhiannon's journey into genetics began with her daughter's chronic illness and the discovery of an MTHFR gene mutation. This experience led her to dive deep into the world of genetics and its implications for our health.
My 3 Biggest Takeaways Were...
1. MTHFR, a gene that affects methylation processes in the body, can be inherited from one or both parents and has been linked to various health issues such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, migraines, and fertility problems.
2. Comprehensive genetic testing is crucial to understand the broader impact of MTHFR and other genes on our biochemical processes, rather than relying on oversimplified supplement recommendations.
3. Personalized recommendations based on comprehensive genetic testing are essential for effectively addressing health concerns related to genetic factors like MTHFR.
