Methylation made practical: MTHFR & beyond
This is a hands-on workshop for students in their last year of study or practitioners ready to make sense of genetic testing - without the overwhelm.
MTHFR is one of the most talked-about (and often misunderstood) genes in clinical practice. This workshop cuts through the noise, giving you a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding methylation and applying it confidently with your clients.
What you'll learn:
- The MTHFR gene and its key variants - what they actually mean (and what they don't)
- How the folate and methylation cycle works, step by step
- Why methylation touches everything - fertility, hormones, mood and energy
- The signs and symptoms that suggest a methylation issue is worth investigating
- How to assess methylation status using homocysteine, folate, B12 and more
- An evidence-based approach to nutrient and lifestyle support
- Brief introduction to other key genetics including - COMT, MTR, MTRR, TCN2, PEMT, HLA-DQ2 & HLA-DQ8
- How to avoid over-interpreting genetic results, and keep the focus on what matters
