Understanding methylation is essential for good health. If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, mood swings, hormonal imbalances, or unexplained health issues, you might not have heard about methylation and the MTHFR gene. These terms sound complex, but they play a huge role in how your body functions every single day.
Think of methylation as your body’s “biochemical maestro”(Carol)—it helps regulate everything from detoxification to hormone balance, brain chemistry, and even how your genes express themselves. When methylation isn’t working properly, it can lead to a cascade of health problems.
