🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *🧬 Knowing you have MTHFR raises awareness for better body care, especially regarding methylated B vitamins.* 00:14 *🧠 MTHFR deficiency can affect mental health, as seen with low B vitamin levels leading to severe depression.* 02:59 *⚙️ Methylation system regulates gene activity, crucial for neurotransmitter production and balance.* 04:20 *🔺 High homocysteine levels impair neurotransmitter synthesis, impacting mood, motivation, and cognition.* 06:28 *🔄 Oxidative stress can inhibit enzymes crucial for homocysteine metabolism, exacerbating mental health issues.* 08:55 *💡 Environmental factors and lifestyle choices can exacerbate MTHFR-related symptoms, even without genetic variants.* Made with HARPA AI

I have all these, MTHFR, the low levels of B's and folate, but my homocysteine is not high. I worked with a functional medicine Dr for three yrs with no relief. I also have Hashimotos. Recently my depression is bad again ,so I just started taking antidepressants again.

I just subscribed to your channel and will be ordering some of your products ( they are the only ones that look like they would work for me). Thanks again! I'll be watching some more of your older videos too. They look very helpful. 😊

I have a question for you Dr. Lynch. My daughter has a severe MTHFR gene mutation. She also has a mental illness for which she has to take medications. Her treatment really improved after adding methylfolate. However, recently she became intolerant to high doses of methylfolate and it was reduced significantly causing her treatment to not work as well and some of the doses of medication had to go up. Do you advise using Folinic Acid instead or along with methylfolate to improve the efficancy of her meds. Is folinic acid easier to tolerate than methylfolate?

Dr Lynch, Thansk for all the great videos and your passion for Genetics! Do you have any video's or info on how to manage a COMT GG (fast?) and MAOA TT (slow?) setup? 48 yrs old. My energy level is super low, some anxiety, taking an hour to go to bed, etc. Read your book and doing Strategene soon. Wondering what suppl to avoid and which to take if I have symptoms. Any guidence? Thanks !

Dr. Ben, is it safe for people with methylation problems, slow breakdown of catecholamines ( due to slow COMT and MAO) take liothyronine sodium for thyroid? I have severe hypothyroidism due to high reverse T3, but i am not sure if it will stress my body ...

The homocysteine nutrients are so awesome! My son has had bad OCD issues, eyes that roll, brain fog, ADHD etc…. His folate is low on his blood test but every time we tried folate by itself it made him aggressive and he would hit himself. I just bought the homocysteine nutrients and the very first day of taking it his OCD and brain fog improved. Thank you So much Dr. Lynch! The doctor he was seeing said no folate because he is an undermethalater and it would make him worse so my son has struggled for 5 years with things getting worse. I’m just curious if you feel the TMG is what is helping or the riboflavin? Should he stay on this the rest of his life or once he gets better just take methl b12/folate?

Dr. Ben lynch, in your book You tell about the COMT gene. You can have both, slow and fast… can you explain how to deal with both of these mutations instead of them separately?

Guys i just wanna say that mthfr or mtrr doeasnt mean anything, if you have mthfr at least 50% reduction just take 3mg of suplemental ryboflavin because b2 highly speeds up mthfr, mtrr regenerates methylcobalamin but its only important if you are under huge stress in your live like injury or other problems, cbs enzyme is very important because of gluthatione so you want to suplement with nac(and maybe glycine), bhmt may lower your remathylation to methionine from homocysteine so its important to lower methylation demand by suplementing with creatine and if you have mutations in creatine synthesis or cbs it may lead generaly to overmethylation of system because your body compansate by methylating more so depending on mutation suplement with creatine or nac

Just wishing the methylb’s didn’t make me so anxious and more nuts! I don’t think we all can take them, it’s too tricky and complicated. It’s not as simple as taking methyl bs, or adding tmg or choline or all the other little try-and-see remedies for those who maybe overmethylate etc. -If that even what it is.

So if lo methylation then what enzyme isnt made? and how increase it? if low methylation than maybe hi homocystein which reduces some neurotrans but raise glutamine(GABA makes me irritable)? Have found a tiny bit on occasion of extra vit C and vite E foods helping me. What form of choline?

Thank you Dr Ben! Is there any other way to determine if we have the MTHFR than testing through genetic testing (23 & me)? Would it be ok to give someone a methylcobalanine (seeking health that’s what I take I’m MTHFR) if they are not MTHFR? Basically I’m asking if anyone should be taking the dog crap cyano? Thx so much! 😊

You can test through 23andme, Ancestry or SelfDecode. I like SelfDecode the most as it is privately held, I like the founder, Joe (great and smart guy) and they have a great privacy policy. selfdecode.com/?a_aid=seekinghealth and use code SDDRLYNCH to save 10% on your purchase. Then, you would get the raw data from their genetic test and run it through StrateGene which is the report I created. SelfDecode has reports too so if you're happy with what they offer, you would not need StrateGene. No one should use cyanocobalamin or folic acid. Both are trash. You would use either methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, folinic acid or methylfolate. We have all these available at seekinghealth.com in lozenges, chewable multivitamins and capsules.

Hi there - I may have said that - but I now say that MTHFR C677 CC is typical and that MTHFR C677 CT or TT are the variants. One is not good and one is not bad. They are different. That's how I look at them now. To be clear for you, yes - the CC is 'good' but it's not actually 'good' - it's just what is typical - no variation and in genetic speak - it's wild type.

Hi Dr Ben, I have the mthfr and was born with transposition of the great arteries, my mom also has mthfr and was unfortunately taking folic acid when in was in utero. My mom also had multiple miscarriages before i was born. I am curious if there is a potential link between these factors? I have a sneaking suspicion there is a pattern here. Curious what your thoughts are. My mom gave me your book and we are working with Dr Dane buxbaum in arizona. Thanks have a good day
