I used a naturopathic doctor for many years to be proactive with my health following a cancer diagnosis in 2001. Successfully overcame that with supplements, somatic emotional release techniques, etc. (see me to learn how to talk to cancer cells!)

​

Fast forward to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019/2020. I had the experience and was hospitalized before we knew it was a thing. Recovered, yet remained sluggish over time. Discovered the IDLife DNA test to find out I had double MTHFR gene mutations. What that meant for me was the inability to produce folate, a vitamin needed to break down homocysteine, and an amino acid. The liver was unable to detoxify the substance properly. Backed up, built up, bad health: elevated blood pressure and heart artery blockage ranging between 40 to 49%, plus other symptoms. I started with methylation, more self-work with somatic emotional release. Added the NAD, which basically improved my cellular repair.  Very necessary for good heart health! 

​

One year later, I received a 100% clear scan from the doctor! About the naturopath, in telling of my journey and recovery, I was told we all needed methylation. Yet, that advice never came from their office.  Quit the naturopath and now I had more questions than ever before. 

 

In asking my clients who had firstborn children with birth defects whether their doctor ever tested their MTHFR genetics, all said not until after the first child was born.  Subsequent births were normal following daily methylation use.

​

My sister had one marker—hindsight speaking of the many miscarriages on her path to motherhood.  We wonder if this information would have been talked about 25 years ago... would I now have more than one niece?

​

My personal conclusion and opinion? Get tested. Take the supplements.  Ask Questions.  Be Well. I would be happy to assist you on your journey!

Yours in good health,

Karen
