Has anyone gone down that rabbit hole ? Haha

YES!!! I had genetic testing done for medications and took it upon myself to figure out what it all meant😵‍💫🫠. So basically I became I geneticist for about two weeks, filled notebooks like I was cracking a code, listened to training lectures online… Turns out genes are more complicated than I could ever have guessed. I figured that out when some of my mutations seemed to contradict each other. And then one day, without realizing, I forgot about it and moved on🙃.

Aw that’s a shame. I’m not sure who to consult either. Maybe what I’ve discovered helps you. I have a mutation in the MTHFR, MTRR and COMT Gene. From what I’ve researched it’s best to take 5-Methylfolate, L-Methionine and a B-Vitame Complex. I started taking B12, B6, B2 and 5-Methylfolate yesterday. Not feeling anything yet

Well, I bought a bunch of supplements 🙃. As soon as I thought I was on to something, I’d hit a road block and gave up on trying to figure it out on my own. When I had the testing done, I was offered genetic counseling but I didn’t know enough then to even know what to ask. I would like to do that now, but I’m not sure who to contact so I most likely won’t. Unfortunately!

Hahaha I love that! Did you come to any conclusion for yourself ? Like did you change your diet, take supplements ?

Haha. It’s a gene mutation where you’re not able to detox well and convert vitamins. Apparently 44% of the worlds population has it and it’s linked to cancers, mental health disorders etc.
