My brother called and said he has 2 mthfr gene mutations and the dr said probably all of his sibs and our kids have it too.
I looked back at my youngest daughters incredible lab test she had 4 yrs ago that tells us which meds she metabolizes well and BAM there it was! Mthfr 677 and 1298 and it says heterozygous mutation by the 677 With a little note that said “reduced folic acid conversion”. Woah. So I looked at our history. That Same daughter (Amy) was born with a birth defect on her spinal cord that effected her bladder legs and feet and lots of leg nerve pain. It took me YEARS and so much advocating to find out the cause. Tethered cord spinal birth defect. She had major spine surgery at age 11. Along with that she has neurological stuff like Tourette’s. Adhd, major anxiety, fatigue, and ocd. My other daughter has struggled with mystery anemia since she was 2 and GI auto immune disease. My middle child with anxiety as well! My extended fam has anxiety, fatigue, anemia, multiple miscarriages, (including incompetent cervix), and my nephew had a lip tie, plus there is some heart disease. I went on fb to look up more info and there you were talking about it 4 years ago but I missed it. Wow what a day of learning. So now to find methylated folate and b12….

Wow thanks for sharing your story. Just a few months ago I was tested for MTHFR and I am Homozygous for 1298. I have been eating a clean plant based vegetarian diet since 2012 before I knew about the MTHFR gene issue but got a little lazy on my diet for about 6 months and not am back to it and sticking to a vegan plant based diet. Just this week I signed up as a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA so I am trying to learn how the product can help me detox, get rid of some of the chemicals I had been using around the house and on my body. I have got the diet, exercise and sauna part down but still need to work on some of these other areas. I am also waiting for my 23andme results to come back and I have an absolutely wonderful doctor that will help me through the results. So any tips or information you could share I would appreciate it.

Rachel, thank you so much for this. I recently had a miscarriage and just found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I’m so thankful to have this information to guide me through my own situation.

Thanks so much for the information. My son was diagnosised with the gene first and then I found out I also have it too. Are there any essential oils that you have found to be helpful with the MTHFR? We are both taking the supplement. Thank you

Hello! My sister and I have MTHFR variations, but have had a heck of a time finding any professionals who can coach ua about it. She feels better taking folate, I felt no difference after taking it for 2 months. During those two months I went gluten free and felt a huge energy drain. Energy felt better after eating gluten (wholegrain breads mostly)
