MTHFR Gene Mutation What Your Test Result Actually Means

If you’ve been told you’re “MTHFR positive,” you may have also been told you need methylated B vitamins, special supplements, or an entirely new health protocol. But is that genetic variant actually creating a functional problem in your body?

In this quick video, natural health expert Dustin Strong, CHN, ACN, takes a closer look at what MTHFR variant really tells us, and why it’s only one piece of a much bigger picture. He explores the role of homocysteine, folate, and B-vitamin status, diet, stress, inflammation, and other environmental factors, along with why looking at what the body is actually doing may be far more useful than focusing on one isolated genetic result.
