In this episode, we’re diving into how methylation and the MTHFR gene impact your metabolism, detox pathways, and fat loss — especially in women over 40.
When methylation isn’t working properly, your body struggles to:
- Detoxify estrogen efficiently (hello, estrogen dominance + stubborn fat)
- Clear toxins and inflammation that block thyroid function
- Activate key nutrients like folate, B12, and choline (needed for liver and brain health)
- Produce neurotransmitters that stabilize mood and motivation
In other words — your “fat-burning pathways” aren’t just about food or workouts.
They’re biochemical.
And when they’re blocked, your body gets stuck in protect mode — holding onto fat, toxins, and frustration.
We’ll cover:
✅ What methylation actually is (in normal-person language)
✅ What the MTHFR gene does — and why 40–50% of women carry it
✅ How it affects detox, hormones, and metabolism in perimenopause and menopause
✅ Key nutrients that support methylation (and which forms to look for)
✅ How to improve methylation naturally to reactivate fat burning
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but you know something’s off — this episode will help you connect the dots between your genes, hormones, and metabolism.TIMESTAMPS:
