MTHFR and Methylation: The Missing Link for Kidney and Autoimmune Health
Summary
- The Importance of Methylation: Understand the fundamental process of methylation and its wide-ranging impact on detoxification, DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, immune function, and inflammation – all crucial for kidney and autoimmune health.
- MTHFR Gene Variations: Learn how variations in the MTHFR gene can affect the efficiency of methylation, potentially leading to a buildup of homocysteine and impacting kidney function and autoimmune responses.
- Functional Medicine Support for Methylation: Discover practical nutritional and lifestyle strategies, including B vitamins (especially folate and B12), betaine, and stress management, that can help optimize methylation pathways and support kidney and autoimmune health.
