MTHFR, Hashimoto’s, and Nutrients - Dr. Izabella Wentz
A MTHFR gene variation can lead to nutrient deficiencies, an inability to clear out toxins, estrogen dominance, brain fog, multiple chemical sensitivities, depression, irritability, and anxiety - common Hashimoto’s symptoms.
“One of the key things to note is that this gene variation also prevents people from properly methylating, which is one of the body’s key detox processes that helps them get rid of toxins. Methylation impairment can result in an impaired ability to clear out certain toxins such as mercury and arsenic, and may lead to estrogen dominance. Symptoms like brain fog, multiple chemical sensitivities, depression, irritability, and anxiety are related to impaired methylation. As these symptoms are all too common in Hashimoto’s, I designed a Liver Support Protocol to support the methylation pathways.”
