Would you like to better understand and control how your genetic makeup and how it influences your well-being?
What if you could improve your health by knowing if you have an MTHFR gene mutation?
MTHFR is a gene encoding for Methylene-TetraHydroFolate Reductase (MTHFR). MTHFR is an enzyme found within the human body. Playing a vital role in how the body uses folate (vitamin B9). It converts the folate you eat, into folate your body can use (Folate → 5-methyltetrahydrofolate). The MTHFR gene has the information needed to make this important enzyme.
Have you experienced miscarriages with no explanation?
Are you susceptible to depression and anxiety with no relief or founding cause?
Do you have chronic illness that never seems to improve?
This may be the show to listen to.
We're chatting with MTHFR AUST Expert, Carolyn Ledowsky about MTHFR, genetic issues, anxiety, depression, infertility and more. You just might finally find your answers to improve your health.
Carolyn Ledowsky is the founder of MTHFR Support Australia. She is a Naturopath, Nutritionist and Herbalist who has a Bachelor of Health in Herbal Medicine, Naturopathy, Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, Diploma of Nutrition and Bachelor of Economics from Sydney University. She has also studied courses in Genetics at Duke University (Genetics and Evolution) and The University of Maryland (Genes and the Human Condition) - from behaviour to biotechnology).
She is currently completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) Honors.
Carolyn now sees chronically ill patients from all over the world, who have searched, sometimes for decades, to find the reason behind their ill health. Her strenghth lies in her ability to reveal layers of dysfunction and not give up until results are seen. Most of her patients have MTHFR mutations and/or associated methylation disturbances.
Her mission is to make sure that every couple knows that miscarriages are often due to low folate due to MTHFR deficiiency. So too anxiety and depression can be hugely improved without drugs by tweaking biochemistryncaused by eithergenetic susceptibility and addressing environmental factors that afflict these genes.
Carolyn's practice specialises in genetic susceptibility and how this contributes to biochemical dysfunction and chronic health conditions.
Join us as we chat with Carolyn about MTHFR, genetics, mutations, chronic disease, infertility issues - with presentation of her latest PHD research on infertility and viruses.
