- In today’s episode, Dr. Lynch and I discuss the significance of the MTHFR gene, which is responsible for producing the most active form of folate in our bodies, known as methylfolate. Dr. Lynch emphasizes the importance of methylation, a process that methylfolate supports, which is crucial for various bodily functions including DNA repair, detoxification, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
A significant portion of our conversation revolves around the detrimental effects of folic acid, a synthetic form of folate that can actually worsen health issues for those with MTHFR variants. Dr. Lynch provides compelling evidence on why we should avoid folic acid and opt for natural food sources of folate or supplements with methylfolate.
We also touched upon the relationship between MTHFR variants and mental health. Dr. Lynch shares how imbalances in methylation can lead to mental health issues and the importance of maintaining optimal levels of homocysteine for mental well-being.

I love how Dr Ben Lynch explains this significant subject. He is so knowledgable and honest.
Ben, hope you keep swinging. ❤! Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR !
Great job! So helpful. Wonderful explanations.
Thank you for sharing the contraindications or what to look out for when having too much
This is fascinating.
TMG BEATINE changed my life!
?
@@dinomiles7999 google it
Betaine?
@@cornypinkuni9519 yes
It took me 5 1/2 hours to wake up after my wisdom teeth surgery when I was 19 years old
Have ok homocysteine, but react to some ingrediants or meds . MTHFR enzyme effected by . Did have mold exposure after a roof leak and lost weight and Mom had stroke and heart attack. NAC might help? or other glutathiones, guessing experiment. Rarely get ill anymore but a little tired most of time (feel bad from heat) . Vite B1 helps greatly also but only tiny bits a few times a week or worse crash(think it uses up B2). HS-CRP, ESR are always low, so wonder other labs for inflammation.
How many mg of acetyl Glutathione per day do we need? And gosh...I was taking a methylated B complex every day and I have really bad joint and muscular pains...I never knew this pain can be caused by too much B vitamins.
Very interesting this can happen… good to know though. I’ve heard good things about glutathione even good for skin I think. I better get some soon.
Thanks for this 💙
Great interview - I have his book.
Thank you for this amazing interview! Luv all your IG posts and your book too! Your information is helping us solve some big health challenges for our whole family. ❤
Thanks for your book . You should have changed publisher's. 😢sad . ❤ Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR . ❤ Thank you.
I had dna testing done and I was told I should not take methylated versions of b12 or folate. I was told I should take adenosylcobalamin and folinic acid. I heard Ben talk about folinic acid in a different discussion, but not adenosylcobalamin. I wish those had come up in this discussion.
Can I ask you wouldn’t take methylated versions? I am c677t hetero
Gratitude !❤. Epie genetics ❤ ! Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr Joe Despensa ❤. Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR ! ❤ Don't die, we are coming.
What specific foods should A1298c carriers eliminate altogether? Is the same true for C677t carriers too?
North American wheat products as these are "fortified" with cheap garbage synthetic folic acid which is harmful to methylation system whether or not people have variants of mthfr related genes
Basically anything that says enriched or fortified is problematic for carriers of both those gene variants. Consider that carrier a Lamborghini that need high quality fuel rather than a dump truck that can run on garbage fuel.
@@cornypinkuni9519 Thoughts on Einkorn flour?
@@arashjahnI'd be interested to try it and see how I do with it. Also to hear how others do. I havent looked into where to even get it. Not sure I'd have time to bake bread on top of my already 16 hour work days but always nice to have options if it doesn't cause issues. Especially for guests, since everyone is at different places in their own journeys and bread can be a hard addiction to quit lol
I have two copies of the Variant 1298(C/C)
Isn't CC the good version?
I wish he would sit down with , Dr Jack kruse, Dr Zack Bush, Dr Ronda Patrick, Dr Ted Archaco, Dr Dom D AUGOSTINO ❤.
Where is he located ? I need a doctor . Anyo e . ❤
Ben is a bit bitter no one has really listened to him until now and rightfully so. He’s been passionate about this many many years before Gary came along. I hope he gets the recognition now that he should.
Classic "when the student is ready..." been following Dr Lynch for almost a decade and was lucky enough to do some bloodwork with him... changed my life and still learning ❤
I’m listening. I bought his book, and follow several of his recommendations for years now.
He likely had more impact than he even realizes.
Who is Gary?
Tough to buck the medical Industry MATRIX 😢❤. Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR
Dont take one drop of alcohol EVER . Its a slow killer .
I have 2 sets of A1298C & C677T (both homozygous)
This was “scary” to listen to
Don't be scared , be disaplyned, and take care of it . ❤ Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR !
Asian person, some wines make me turn scary gray. My kids were little when it first happened and they cried because they thought I was dying as they watched me turn gray from across the table.
Did you maintain to somehow return your natural color?
@@manojlogulic4234 whether you’re kidding or not, of course I resume to my natural color.😏😎
@@lseh4720 is that related to a blood thing that some people have and are blue people? (there are actually story books written about that). Cant breath from sulfites in wine.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
No alcohol EVER , NEVER one drop , it's a slow kill death ❤. Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR. ❤
I worry about your safty . ❤
what is wrong with carbs?
They make me fat and tired
Vit. B9. ❤
