You’ll see a lot these days about MTHFR.

What often gets missed—a gene result doesn’t tell you what to do next on its own.

How it shows up depends on digestion, stress, nervous system load, hormones, medications, and your health timeline — not just the gene itself.

You don’t need more testing to start making sense of it. A lot becomes clear by looking at symptoms, patterns, and history and putting everything into context.

If you’ve had results and aren’t sure what they actually mean for you, this is the kind of support I offer. https://synergycorrective.com/functional-nutrition-bryn-mawr/

I’ve always been a skincare nerd at heart 💛 — long before functional nutrition became my work. even before becoming an esthetician almost 25 years ago, I was always the person looking up every ingredient.

That’s why I wrote this piece breaking down why skincare labels sound scientific and what they actually mean for your skin. Real skin health isn’t just about what you put on your face — it’s about barrier function, inflammation, nourishment, and how the whole body is supported.

If you’ve ever read a label and thought, what does this really tell me? — this one’s for you.

While I’m not actively practicing esthetics these days, I’m always happy to talk skin with clients—especially how it intersects with nutrition and lifestyle.

Skincare labels often use scientific-sounding terms that imply credibility without clear meaning. Learn how to interpret common skincare claims and what truly matters for skin health.
