😔 Low Mood or Depressed? Read this 👇

One thing most people don’t realize about folate, is that…

It doesn’t just matter for genetics or labs …
it plays a huge role in how you feel day to day. 💚

Here’s the connection in simple terms:

🧬 Folate → supports SAMe
🧠 SAMe → helps your body make serotonin
😊 Serotonin → mood, motivation, enjoyment, calm

And here’s the part that surprises a lot of people 👀
👉 Over 80% of your serotonin lives in your gut.

So when things feel off like:
• low mood or flat energy
• constipation or sluggish digestion
• gut imbalance or bloating

…it’s not just a gut issue.
It can be a methylation + folate issue showing up in the gut.

This is why supporting methylation often affects:
✨ mood
✨ energy
✨ digestion
✨ overall sense of well-being

Everything is connected … especially with MTHFR.🧬

🧬 MTHFR can be confusing 😵‍💫, but here’s my attempt to explain how it works in simple terms.

➡️ Let's start with vitamins and nutrients.

Vitamins are great, BUT not all vitamins are in a form that your body can immediately use.

They need to be converted into their active (bioavailable) forms before you can benefit from them. 🔄️

☝️ And this is where MTHFR comes in...

When it comes to Vitamin B9 (folate)... it’s the MTHFR gene that contains the genetic code for producing the enzyme that converts it into its active form 👉 which is methylfolate.

However, when your MTHFR gene is mutated 🦠, *meaning there’s an error in the genetic code*, the enzyme it produces doesn’t work as efficiently to convert folate. 👎

➡️ This can lead to (methyl)folate deficiency—which isn’t great.

Why is it bad?

Because methylfolate plays a key role in many important functions in your body.❗

And when there’s not enough 🪫, those functions can get thrown off balance…which can show up as various health issues. 🤒


Aaaaaaaaaand that’s MTHFR in a nutshell.

Not tolerating a nutrient right now 👇
…does not mean you’ll never tolerate it.

I see this a lot with methylated nutrients.

Someone tries methylfolate or methyl B12 and thinks:
😣 “My body hates this.”
😵‍💫 “I’m too sensitive.”
❌ “This will never work for me.”

But often… it’s not the nutrient.
It’s the timing and the terrain.

If your system is inflamed, depleted, or overwhelmed,
adding something stimulating can feel like too much.

That doesn’t mean your body is broken.
It means it needs support first.

I’ve seen many people who couldn’t tolerate methylated nutrients at all…
later come back to them and do just fine — even really well — once things like detox capacity, glutathione, and overall stability were better supported.

Your body isn’t saying “never.”
It’s often saying “not yet.”

And that’s an important difference 💚

Start where your body is.
Build slowly.
Revisit things later.

Sensitivity isn’t a life sentence — it’s information.

So… are you taking B12 the right way? 🤔

If you just swallow your B12 pill… you might be wasting it. 😬

That’s because B12 absorbs best through the mucous membranes in your mouth … especially under your tongue. 👅

For better results:
✅ Chew the pill slightly, then hold the pieces under your tongue and let them dissolve.
✅ If it’s a capsule, open it and pour the contents under your tongue. Let it melt away naturally.

And here’s the kicker…

…The form of B12 you take also matters.

Some forms work better depending on your genes (like COMT 158 or VDR Taq).

So, how can you boost Glutathione❓🤔 (read below👇)

…

♻️ Detox isn’t just a trend…

And if you have MTHFR? … It’s non-negotiable. 👇

🧬 People with MTHFR often have trouble making glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.

Why does that matter?

Because glutathione is the heavy lifter that helps clear out:

➡️ Heavy metals

➡️ BPA + plastic toxins

➡️ And all the other environmental junk we absorb daily 🤮

When glutathione isn’t doing its job, toxins build up faster… and stick around longer.

So, you’re either:
✅ actively clearing toxins out
❌ or slowly getting buried under them

And if you’ve got MTHFR?
You're already starting with a disadvantage.

🧼 Detox and health go hand in hand… especially when your body needs extra support.

Now…

How can you boost that Glutathione?

1️⃣ You can take Glutathione supplements directly (but it’s quite pricey).

OR

2️⃣ A more cost effective alternative is NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) which is a precursor of glutathione.

And if that sounds interesting…

Personally?
NAC was one of the very first things recommended to me years ago… and I couldn’t tolerate it at all at first.

I’m talking ~100 mg — yes, that low — and even that felt like too much. 😅

So I backed way down, opened capsules, took tiny amounts… and slowly, over time, my tolerance improved.

Today, I do well around 900 mg/day. That slow build mattered.

Why does this matter?

Because NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) can be a game-changer.

It supports the parts of your system that often struggle when methylation isn’t running smoothly:

🛡️ Glutathione production (your main detox antioxidant)
🍃 Clearance of toxic byproducts
🧠 Brain + nervous system protection
🫀 Liver and organ support

For many people with MTHFR, NAC also helps with things like:
📈 elevated homocysteine
😵‍💫 brain fog or mental overload
⚡ low energy from oxidative stress

And here’s a little context most people don’t know 👀
NAC is so effective that in 2021 the FDA attempted to remove it from the supplement market, largely because pharma companies were interested in turning it into a drug. That tells you how powerful this molecule really is.

Dosing guidance (general, not one-size-fits-all):

🔹 Generally healthy: lower doses often work (600–1,800 mg)

🔹 Mood, anxiety, detox load: some people do better a bit higher (1,800–3,000 mg)

🔹 More complex cases (like bipolar): some clinicians use higher doses — but only with guidance

But as always:
✨ Start low
✨ Let tolerance guide you
✨ Build slowly if needed

So… I hope you found this interesting.

🙄You’ve probably heard people say things like 👇

“Just take folic acid” or “Folate is folate … it’s all the same.”

But… it’s really not.

Here’s the simple version 👇

Folic acid is a synthetic, man-made form of folate. 🧪
It was designed to be stable … stable enough to survive heat, light, long shelf lives, and heavy processing.

That’s why you find it added to:

– Breads 🍞
– Cereals 🥣
– Flours
– other fortified, processed foods

From a manufacturing standpoint, it’s clever.
From a biology standpoint? It’s… complicated. 😬

Because once folic acid enters your body, it’s not dietary folate at all.
It’s a completely separate form that your body has to convert through multiple steps before it can actually use it. 🔄

And here’s the catch 👇

For an estimated 40–70% of people, that conversion doesn’t happen efficiently. 😕

Genetics (hello, MTHFR 🧬), nutrient deficiencies, gut health, stress … all of these can interfere with that process.

So you can be:

➡️eating fortified foods 🛒

➡️taking folic acid supplements 💊

➡️even seeing “normal” folate levels on labs 📄

…and still not getting the active folate your cells actually need. ⚠️

Methylfolate, on the other hand, is different. ✨

It’s bioidentical folate … the same form your body naturally uses.
No conversion required.
No metabolic gymnastics.

Your cells recognize it immediately and can put it to work right away … supporting things like:

● methylation 🔁
● mood and brain function 🧠
● energy production ⚡
● detox pathways 🧹
● homocysteine balance ❤️

That’s why we say methylfolate isn’t just “another version” of folate.

It’s the usable version. ✅

And for many people — especially those with MTHFR — that difference matters more than they realize. 💡

Stay healthy,
Jamie 💚

🕒 What’s the best time to take methylfolate?

Simple answer: Morning or lunchtime.

⚡ Because methylfolate can be energizing, taking it too late might mess with your sleep.

⌛ It also has a 4–6 hour half-life, which means it tapers off pretty quickly. So if you want more stable levels throughout the day...

💊 Try splitting your dose:
Half in the morning, half around noon.

❓Missed a dose?
No big deal. Don’t double up ... just take your regular amount the next day.

(And of course, talk to your healthcare provider for personalized advice.)

💙 Hope this was helpful!

💊 Your ideal methylfolate dose can change over time... and that’s totally normal.

I used to take 6–8 mg daily for years.

More than that?

I’d feel like I’d plugged into a caffeine IV💥 jittery, anxious, heart racing.
No thanks.

But lately?

I’ve been doing just as well on less.

Why?

Because as my body detoxed and healed over time, I didn’t need as much support. 🙌

👉 Your needs can shift with stress, environment, diet, or healing progress.

There’s no perfect number forever.

✨ So here’s the real strategy:
Pay attention ➡️ Experiment ➡️ Adjust

Your body will tell you what it needs... just listen. 😉

01/06/2026

The REAL reason we take Folic Acid for 👇

When we take FA, the body is supposed to turn it into → methylfolate
…the bio-identical, active form your cells actually use. 🧬

So here’s the real question:

👉 If the goal is methylfolate…
👉 why not just take methylfolate directly?

Folic acid still has to go through multiple conversion steps.
And for a lot of people — especially those with MTHFR — that process isn’t very efficient. ⚠️

Methylfolate skips all of that.
It’s already in the form your body needs for:

✨ vitality & energy
🤰 healthy pregnancy & fetal development
🧠 brain chemistry & mood
🧬 proper DNA replication

Yes, it costs more.
But when it comes to something this foundational … something involved in DNA synthesis and repair and bringing a human into the world … “good enough” isn’t really the standard I’m comfortable with.


But an important disclaimer ⚠️

Methylfolate is powerful.
And more is not better.

Starting too high or too fast can cause side effects.

So…
✨ Start low-dose
🐢 Go slow
💚 Increase only if no side effects.

I hope this helps ;)

🧬 The gene test TRAP 👇

A lot of people get their MTHFR results back and think:
“Okay… now what?” 🤷‍♀️

And honestly? That’s a fair question.

Because most doctors don’t know how to turn those results into practical next steps.
And automated reports that try to match genes → nutrients often oversimplify things … and miss how your body actually responds. ⚠️

Here’s the core issue:

Two people can have the same gene variant
…and react completely differently to the same supplement.
One feels amazing.
The other feels worse. 😬

That’s because genes don’t act in isolation.
They’re part of massive, overlapping pathways influenced by:
😮‍💨 stress
🍽️ diet
🧪 nutrient status
♻️ detox capacity
🧠 nervous system state

So when an algorithm says
“If you have THIS gene → take THIS supplement”
…it’s oversimplifying something that isn’t binary at all.

Genetic info can be useful context … but it’s not a prescription.
Your response matters more than your report. 💚

That’s why I don’t push a specific test.

👉 Instead, I say you might need to do some experimenting and see what works.

And… if something works… then it works, right? Regardless of what a test result might “suggest”.

And when you experiment:

🌱 Start low → introduce nutrients in small amounts
🐢 Go slow → change one thing at a time and give your body a few days
🧠 Pay attention → notice what improves, what doesn’t, and what feels “off”

Because your body gives better feedback than any spreadsheet ever will.


So… If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly Googling MTHFR and leaving more confused than when you started… I get it.

👉 That’s why I made my Ultimate Guide to MTHFR … the guide I wish I had years ago.

🥛🥖 What are “fortified foods”… and should you avoid them if you have MTHFR?

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Stay away from fortified foods.” But what does that actually mean? 🤔

➡️ Fortified = nutrients added (that weren’t originally there)
➡️ Enriched = nutrients replaced (that were lost during processing)

Examples:
🧂 Iodized salt → prevents goiter
🥛 Vitamin D in milk → prevents rickets
🍊 Calcium in juice → supports bones
🍞 Folic acid in grains → reduces neural tube defects

✅ Great for public health.
❌ Not so great if you have MTHFR.

Here’s why 👇
🔬 With MTHFR, your body may struggle to process folic acid (the synthetic form of folate). This can lead to a buildup of unmetabolized folic acid … which nobody wants.

🛑 What to watch for on labels:
– If it says folic acid → walk away 🚶‍♀️
– If it says folate but doesn’t clarify → still risky (likely synthetic in processed foods)

✅ Better bets:
– Foods proudly labeled “Folic Acid Free”
– Many keto, grain-free, or imported products
– Always check labels (organic ≠ folic acid free)
