Why You’re Always Tired & Anxious (It Might Be Your MTHFR Gene)

Millions of people struggle with fatigue, anxiety, migraines, infertility, and “mysterious” health issues that doctors can’t explain. What most people don’t realize is that almost 1 in 2 people have the MTHFR genetic mutation—and it may be silently affecting how your body processes folate, detoxifies, and creates energy.

In this video, I break down the MTHFR gene explained simply, including what it does, why it matters, the real problem with folic acid, how to know if your MTHFR gene is “dirty,” and the proven steps to clean it. If you’ve ever been told your labs look normal but you still don’t feel well… this might be the missing piece.

Whether your goal is more energy, better mood, improved fertility, or deeper understanding of your genetics, this is the most complete beginner-friendly guide to MTHFR, methylation, homocysteine, and folate metabolism.

What You’ll Learn:

What the MTHFR gene actually does — and how it impacts methylation, detoxification, and homocysteine.
The difference between folic acid vs. folate, and why folic acid can block your receptors and make symptoms worse.
The most common signs your MTHFR gene is “dirty”—even if you’ve never been tested.
The top foods, supplements, and lifestyle steps to clean your MTHFR gene and restore energy.
