You've no doubt heard the buzz word MTHFR.
And probably wondered what it meant.
You've also probably seen a thing or two about genetic testing and wondered if it is something you should do.
Here's my take.
Ask yourself these questions first.
Can it help you figure out the next steps to better health?
Will it help you make decisions about medical procedures, anesthesia use, or medications for yourself or your child?
Will it give you insight into how your body functions, where you can then select the best things to change or start doing, like changing the forms of supplements you use or avoiding certain dental procedures, vaccines, or foods based on your unique makeup and detoxification ability?
I'm not here to be a gatekeeper and convince you of anything, but if you think this information can help you, then I would consider it.
I know what it's like to need answers and it seems like you can't ever get to the bottom of it all, to the root so you can actually heal and not just mask symptoms.
My goal is to teach- that's my heart- to give people available tools in the most simple ways and help them adjust habits and lifestyles to improve their health and overall well-being.
I've seen the costs of many of these tests. Often for just that one bit of information on the MTHFR gene!
And you know what? There are other options.
It isn't right that people need help and often find themselves incredibly sick and the best options they have fall outside of the insurance plans they're already paying exhorbent prices for.
I can't adjust what companies themselves set prices at.
But I can, using my knowledge and skills in this arena, find reputable options at better prices and pass that along to you.
We also can make the choice to keep our prices fair.
So, if you're looking for a testing option, to give you more info about not just this one gene that's most commonly discussed called MTHFR, but a whole panel of others that affect your biochemistry, too, we have a solution!
