Why Folic Acid Doesn't Work for Everyone — MTHFR & The Methylation Cycle Explained

If you've been told you have an MTHFR variant — or you're wondering why folic acid isn't working for you — this episode explains the biology clearly, so you can actually understand what your results mean and what to do about them. In this episode, we cover: • What methylation is and why it matters for your mood, energy, hormones, and DNA • How the methylation cycle works — and where MTHFR sits in it • The difference between a gene, a variant, and a mutation (and why MTHFR is not a disease) • What C677T and A1298C actually do to the enzyme — and how to read your own genotype • Why folic acid makes things worse for some people — and what to take instead • Homocysteine — the blood test that tells you whether your methylation is actually working • What compound heterozygous means, and why it matters • The epigenetics piece — why your genotype is not your destiny • What depletes the methylation pathway, and what supports it • How to look up your own variants and next steps Your genes are information, not instructions. 🔬 Check your MTHFR variants and ask the Wellness Coach about your methylation: → livewello.com ⚠️ This video is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
