About a year ago, I had a genetic test run to see if we could figure out why I can't seem to hold a pregnancy.
Everything came back normal except for the MTHFR gene mutation. The doctor told me not to worry because the variant I had wouldn't be causing my issues. At some point and with some nagging from my friend, I looked into the book called "Dirty Genes" and it was so enlightening.
Now this book isn't just for people who have confirmed MTHFR issues, if you have any health problems or chronic illnesses, you need to check out that book to see if any of your genes could be dirty and need some cleaning up.
I learned all about genetics and how common things in our environment can affect them. I am turning my life around slowly, one day at a time to have a more natural, restful, slower approach to life. I have learned so much from this book that it's wild! Did you know anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, migraines, and recurrent miscarriages are just a few symptoms of an MTHFR gene problem? Who knows what you could learn about your body!
The more I learn about my body, the more I feel like it's a dusty old house and every so often I learn of a new corner that hasn't been dusted before. I have to dust it off and prepare it for each day ahead of me.
