Now the reason I'm going to talk about this particular topic is because it's so common that it affects between 30 and 50 percent of the population and most of these people have no idea that they have this problem and it has to do with the genetic mutation
Maybe they suffer from this problem, it is very important to know more about it, it includes one gene called MTHFR and it is a gene for a very specific enzyme and the enzyme that this gene activates is the MTHFR enzyme surprise they call this gene the detox gene, but it is involved in the formation of neurotransmitters such as adrenaline, Dopamine, serotonin, and GABA are also involved in hormonal regulation
But I am today Something added to some of the biochemical pathways that allow it to work properly and this gene revolves around folic acid which is the AP vitamin and so you have a very hard time converting folic acid into the active form of folic acid which is folate and that's why it's so intense it's very dangerous to consume too much Synthetic folic acid because you're going to build this and it's going to act like a poison and not be able to convert into the form you need to do the various functions so what?
Are the consequences good the more toxins you are exposed to okay the more damage free radicals do'
It's okay that a lot of these chemicals whether they're pesticides pesticides herbicides fungicides heavy metals they're all considered endocrine disruptors as well as being called anti-estrogens because they mimic estrogen which is another interesting point of estrogen affecting someone's fertility there's even A study of some chemicals in the environment at Blake's that gave this exposure to frogs and changed. From males to females, and therefore another problem is the accumulation of estrogen in our bodies, we control the estrogen hormone on both men and women,
And it can affect testosterone levels, it can create breast tissue in men, and a really good antidote or treatment would be: start consuming phytoestrogens like in cruciferous vegetables there's a lot of other plants that are phytoestrogens now are phytoestrogens, What it does is it helps replace dangerous estrogen with another less toxic or non-toxic estrogen so you will not become estrogen dominant if you consume phytoestrogens they'll help you by protecting you from toxic environmental estrogens and so if you have this genetic problem the elimination A typical detox will not help you get super clean even if you drink alcohol or consume a lot of caffeine.
Something added to some of the biochemical pathways that allow it to work properly and this gene revolves around folic acid which is the AP vitamin and so you have a very hard time converting folic acid into the active form of folic acid which is folate and that's why it's so intense it's very dangerous to consume too much Synthetic folic acid because you're going to build this and it's going to act like a poison and not be able to convert into the form you need to do the various functions so what? Are the consequences good the more toxins you are exposed to okay the more damage free radicals do' Interesting about toxins in general if we talk about chemicals in the environment it's okay that a lot of these chemicals whether it's pesticides pesticides herbicides fungicides heavy metals they're all considered endocrine disruptors as well as they're called anti-estrogens because they mimic estrogen and they're Another interesting point of estrogen affecting a person's fertility, there was even a study of some chemicals in the environment at Blake's that gave this exposure to frogs and it changed. Male to female and so another issue is estrogen buildup in our body we are dominating estrogen both men and women this can affect testosterone levels it can build up breast tissue in men be a really good antidote or cure IS: Start consuming phytoestrogens like there are cruciferous vegetables out there.” A lot of the other botanicals that are phytoestrogens now are phytoestrogens what they do is they help replace the dangerous estrogen with another estrogen that is less toxic or non toxic so you won't become estrogen dominant if you consume phytoestrogens they'll help you by protecting you from estrogen Toxic environmental, and therefore if you have this genetic problem, a typical detox will not help you to be very clean even if you drink alcohol or consume a lot of caffeine. The liver will have a hard time getting rid of this so while a certain amount of mercury will affect someone in a certain way, the same amount of mercury that is exposed to your tissues can create a much larger negative effect.
What will happen will allow this gene to work properly, so a lot of these symptoms that may go away. It's a really simple solution so this is what I really recommend for this genetic issue there are a few things you definitely need to avoid like synthetic thick folic acid and lots of rich nutritional yeast multivitamin foods that"
now the reason I'm going to talk about this one specific topic is because it is extremely common it affects between 30 and 50 percent of the population and most of these people do not have any idea that they have this problem and it has to do with the genetic mutation and since 30 to 50 of the people watching this probably have this problem it's very important to know more about it it involves this one gene called MTHFR and it's a gene for a very specific enzyme and the enzyme that this Gene activates is the MTHFR enzyme surprise they call this Gene the detox Gene but it does a lot more it's involved in creating neurotransmitters like adrenaline dopamine serotonin Gaba and it's also involved in hormonal regulation but today I'm going to focus in on the detoxification part of this enzyme if you have a mutation or some type of alteration with this specific Gene and you can get it tested you're going to lose between 25 to 80 percent of the function of that Gene I mean just think about this for a second we are bathed in all sorts of chemicals hormones toxins pesticides heavy metals chemicals that alter our endocrine system they're called endocrine disruptors molds fungus all these toxins right and if you have a situation where your ability to get rid of these chemicals are turned down 25 to 80 percent think about how that would affect you now it might not affect you if you live a completely clean life right no exposure to chemicals everything is super clean your diet is great but that might not be the situation 100 of the time so what this Gene does is it helps you methylate things and basically methylation involves adding this thing to certain molecules this methyl Group which helps things get activated it kind of basically just helps you break down chemicals it helps you make neurotransmitters helps repair the DNA so very simply it's something added to some biochemical pathway that allows it to work correctly and this Gene revolves around folate which is AP vitamin and so you have a great difficulty converting the folic acid to the active form of folic acid which is folate and this is why it's very very dangerous to consume a lot of synthetic folic acid because you're going to build this up and it's going to act like a toxin and it's not going to be able to convert into the form that you need to do the various functions and so what are the consequences well the more toxins you're exposed to okay the more free radical damage you're going to have the more oxidation the more inflammation fibrosis which can lead to a cirrhosis in the liver it can also lead to insulin resistance it can also lead to a fatty liver also this Gene involves choline and without choline you can't make acetylcholine which is necessary for the parasympathetic nervous system the system that's supposed to calm you down you can't generate the neurotransmitter that helps support that system so your digestion is not going to work right your sleep's not going to be that great and since choline can also help prevent gallstones or a problem breaking down fats in your liver and the cholesterol can go up from there not to mention just the backup of bile that backs up into the liver and what's interesting about toxins in general if we talk about chemicals in the environment okay a lot of these chemicals whether they're pesticides insecticides herbicides fungicides heavy metals they're all considered endocrine disruptors as well as being called estrogen disruptors because they mimic estrogen which is another interesting point estrogen affects the fertility of someone there is even a study of certain chemicals in the environment in a Blake which gave this exposure to frogs and they changed from male to females and so another problem is the accumulation of these estrogens in our body we become estrogen dominant both men and women and this can affect testosterone levels it can create breast tissue in men and one really good antidote or remedy for that would be to start consuming the phytoestrogens like in the cruciferous vegetables there's a lot of other plants that are phytons now the phytoestrogens what they do is they help to replace the dangerous estrogen with another estrogen that is less toxic or non-toxic and so you're not going to become estrogen dominant if you consume phytoestrogens they're going to help you by protecting you against the environmental toxic estrogens and so if you have this genetic problem a typical detox is not going to help you you're going to have to be very very clean even drinking alcohol or consuming too much caffeine your liver is going to have a hard time getting rid of that whereas a certain amount of mercury will affect someone in a certain way that same amount of mercury exposed to your tissues can create a much bigger negative effect so there's a very very simple thing you can do if you have this problem okay all you need to realize is that the enzyme that is converting certain nutrients like folate to the active form is turned down and if you start taking more folic acid in the right form and more of certain other vitamins like B12 for example in the right form and you also take choline what's going to happen you're going to allow that Gene to work correctly okay so a lot of these symptoms that you might have are going to go away so it's a really simple solution so this is what I'm going to recommend okay for this genetic problem there's some things you need to avoid for sure like the synthetic thick folic acid and a lot of the enriched foods multivitamins for the enriched nutritional yeast that's why you want to get it unfortified because you want those natural B vitamins so I will put a video down below for all those things but as far as what to take the type of folate you need to take is called methylfolite and the type of B12 you need to take is called methylcobolamine then you need to take choline and then I would highly recommend taking a natural B complex okay not a synthetic one you can also get these B vitamins from nutritional yeast but just make sure it's not enriched or fortified magnesium is another cofactor that's going to be very very important but you can get the magnesium in leafy greens because folate especially the natural form of folate naturally comes in the dark leafy cream vegetables and if we make those dark leafy green vegetables more cruciferous we can also enhance the detoxification process because the cruciferous vegetables are one of the most potent ways to help your phase one phase 2 detoxification system in the liver which basically takes fat soluble poisons and turns them into water-soluble particles that are non-poisonous the cruciferous vegetables also have phytoestrogens so they can also help balance this excess of estrogen as well so I just wanted to bring up your awareness of a problem that's very very common but a lot of people don't know about it now to get the full information about this enzyme you should watch my other video which I'm going to put up right here check it out
