now the reason I’m going to talk about

this one specific

topic is because it is extremely common

it affects between 30 and 50 percent of

the population and most of these people

do not have any idea that they have this

problem and it has to do with the

genetic mutation and since 30 to 50 of

the people watching this probably have

this problem it’s very important to know

more about it it involves this one gene

called

MTHFR and it’s a gene for a very

specific enzyme and the enzyme that this

Gene activates is the MTHFR enzyme

surprise they call this Gene the detox

Gene but it does a lot more it’s

involved in creating neurotransmitters

like adrenaline dopamine serotonin Gaba

and it’s also involved in hormonal

regulation but today I’m going to focus

in on the detoxification

part of this enzyme

if you have a mutation or some type of

alteration with this specific Gene and

you can get it tested you’re going to

lose between 25 to 80 percent of the

function of that Gene I mean just think

about this for a second we are bathed in

all sorts of chemicals hormones toxins

pesticides heavy metals chemicals that

alter our endocrine system they’re

called endocrine disruptors molds fungus

all these toxins right and if you have a

situation where your ability to get rid

of these chemicals are turned down 25 to

80 percent

think about how that would affect you

now it might not affect you if you live

a completely clean life right no

exposure to chemicals everything is

super clean your diet is great but that

might not be the situation 100 of the

time so what this Gene does is it helps

you methylate things and basically

methylation involves adding this thing

to certain molecules this methyl Group

which helps things get activated it kind

of basically just helps you break down

chemicals it helps you make

neurotransmitters helps repair the DNA

so very simply it’s something added to

some biochemical pathway that allows it

to work correctly and this Gene revolves

around folate which is AP vitamin and so

you have a great difficulty converting

the folic acid to the active form of

folic acid which is folate and this is

why it’s very very dangerous to consume

a lot of synthetic folic acid because

you’re going to build this up and it’s

going to act like a toxin and it’s not

going to be able to convert into the

form that you need to do the various

functions and so what are the

consequences well the more toxins you’re

exposed to okay the more free radical

damage you’re going to have the more

oxidation the more inflammation fibrosis

which can lead to a cirrhosis in the

liver it can also lead to insulin

resistance it can also lead to a fatty

liver also this Gene involves choline

and without choline you can’t make

acetylcholine which is necessary

for the parasympathetic nervous system

the system that’s supposed to calm you

down you can’t generate the

neurotransmitter that helps support that

system so your digestion is not going to

work right your sleep’s not going to be

that great and since choline can also

help prevent gallstones or a problem

breaking down fats in your liver and the

cholesterol can go up from there not to

mention just the backup of bile that

backs up into the liver and what’s

interesting about toxins in general if

we talk about chemicals in the

environment okay a lot of these

chemicals whether they’re pesticides

insecticides herbicides fungicides heavy

metals they’re all considered endocrine

disruptors as well as being called

estrogen disruptors because they mimic

estrogen which is another interesting

point estrogen affects the fertility of

someone there is even a study of certain

chemicals in the environment in a Blake

which gave this exposure to frogs and

they changed from male to females and so

another problem is the accumulation of

these estrogens in our body we become

estrogen dominant both men and women and

this can affect testosterone levels it

can create breast tissue in men and one

really good antidote or remedy for that

would be to start consuming the

phytoestrogens like in the cruciferous

vegetables there’s a lot of other plants

that are phytons now the phytoestrogens

what they do is they help to replace the

dangerous estrogen with another estrogen

that is less toxic or non-toxic and so

you’re not going to become estrogen

dominant if you consume phytoestrogens

they’re going to help you by protecting

you against the environmental toxic

estrogens and so if you have this

genetic problem a typical detox is not

going to help you you’re going to have

to be very very clean even drinking

alcohol or consuming too much caffeine

your liver is going to have a hard time

getting rid of that whereas a certain

amount of mercury will affect someone in

a certain way that same amount of

mercury exposed to your tissues can

create a much bigger negative effect so

there’s a very very simple thing you can

do if you have this problem okay all you

need to realize is that the enzyme that

is converting certain nutrients like

folate to the active form is turned down

and if you start taking more folic acid

in the right form and more of certain

other vitamins like B12 for example in

the right form and you also take choline

what’s going to happen you’re going to

allow that Gene to work correctly okay

so a lot of these symptoms that you

might have are going to go away so it’s

a really simple solution so this is what

I’m going to recommend okay for this

genetic problem there’s some things you

need to avoid for sure like the

synthetic thick folic acid and a lot of

the enriched foods multivitamins for the

enriched nutritional yeast that’s why

you want to get it unfortified because

you want those natural B vitamins so I

will put a video down below for all

those things but as far as what to take

the type of folate you need to take is

called methylfolite and the type of B12

you need to take is called

methylcobolamine then you need to take

choline and then I would highly

recommend taking a natural B complex

okay not a synthetic one you can also

get these B vitamins from nutritional

yeast but just make sure it’s not

enriched or fortified magnesium is

another cofactor that’s going to be very

very important but you can get the

magnesium in leafy greens because folate

especially the natural form of folate

naturally comes in the dark leafy cream

vegetables and if we make those dark

leafy green vegetables more cruciferous

we can also enhance the detoxification

process because the cruciferous

vegetables are one of the most potent

ways to help your phase one phase 2

detoxification system in the liver which

basically takes fat soluble poisons and

turns them into water-soluble particles

that are non-poisonous the cruciferous

vegetables also have phytoestrogens so

they can also help balance this excess

of estrogen as well so I just wanted to

bring up your awareness of a problem

that’s very very common

but a lot of people don’t know about it

now to get the full information about

this enzyme you should watch my other

video which I’m going to put up right
