The processing of B vitamins for mental wellness is extremely important. Please take a read of this gene expression that can limit a person in not only mental wellness but also in their endocrine system.

I'm a carrier of two copies of the MTHFR gene variation, which is commonly found in those with Hashimoto's (and up to 55 percent of the European population).

🧬 MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) codes for the MTHFR enzyme, the enzyme that converts the amino acid homocysteine to methionine, a building block for proteins.

🧬 The MTHFR gene variation can contribute to many of our symptoms. Nonetheless, knowledge leads to empowerment. These strategies can help us change the expression of the MTHFR gene!

🧬 Check out my article to learn more about the MTHFR gene variation: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/mthfr-hashimotos-and-nutrients/

Have you done genetic testing? If so, do you have at least one copy of the MTHFR gene variation?

The Longest Ride

Today is December 21st, four days before Christmas. It was a
4-day ride from Nazareth to Bethlehem. This scene was NOT the depiction of a Publix commercial - Nine months pregnant out of wedlock, riding on a donkey, reputation marred. This must have been the longest ride of her life.

The manger scene is a juxtaposed setting. We see a young girl in a pretty dress leaning over a baby. But after riding cross country, pregnant on a donkey, I wonder if she felt young and pretty. What was Mary expecting in this virgin birth? There are the wise men who left everything they had, following a star, just to see a baby. Others must have thought "That doesn't sound so wise." What were they expecting to see? There lies a baby, born king to a carpenter, in a feeding trough. Not a place you'd expect to find royalty. I wonder what He expects as he leaves the throne for the manger.

Christmas can bring a range of emotions simply because, if for no other reason, the expectations that we put on the day; traditions, the visits, the gifts, the gathering of people, and how that will go. There are some whose hearts are hurting because of loved ones who are not present; death, divorce, military, a child in "the far country," sickness, even a job loss. There are those whose spirits are light because of a new lease on life, additions to the family, or a job promotion. Where do you find yourself in all of this?

To lay hold to the fullness of this great day and all it means, we have to somehow, someway let go of the tangible expectations that our minds get set on, and have open hearts to the gift that Jesus has for us. He came to give us the gift of life and life to the fullest. It is in that fullness that we find love, joy, and peace daily. Remember, when we put our hopes, anticipations, and expectations in Jesus we are never disappointed.

May you be blessed with the His gift of His presence this Christmas!

““Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’””

CHOOSE YOUR CHORE! A sweet friend taught me this trick. When you’re going to have a house full of guests, make post it, to do notes that the whole family can help accomplish before your event. It helps keep everyone on track, no one is asking repeatedly what else needs to be done, you can keep adding “to do’s” until guests arrive , and my favorite reason, I don’t have to repeat myself giving instructions of how or what to do! And the fams fav reason, they get to choose the chore! It’s a win-win! Hopefully this helps you ease some of the stress of hosting. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🍽 🦃 🍁
