MTHFR : How It Impacts Your Cancer Risk.
Dear The most common gene that most people have heard about is MTHFR. It is the gene that converts folate (which comes from food) into a form that can methylate toxins. It was estimated that 47% of the population are poor methylators from genetic standpoint. There are many other genes that influence methylation. And even […]
Spring Cleaning for Your Body

More than 40% of the population has this genetic aberration. From being homozygous to heterozygous; from having the MTHFR A1298C or 677T or a bit of both: I thought I had my mind wrapped around this. And […]

Can You Do More With Less
I like to go up mountains on the weekends. Behind me is the peak I submitted on Sunday. I love that I can do this in my forties when I could barely do half this 20 years ago. Now, it’s not a huge athletic feat because the trail is not all that long, although steep. […]
