MTHFR: What the F? - #22
Carolyn Ledowsky is the founder of MTHFR Support Australia. She is a naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist who has a Bachelor of Herbal Medicine, Bachelor of Naturopathy, Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy and Diploma of Nutrition, and a Bachelor of Economics from Sydney University. She has also studied courses in genetics at Duke University (Genetics and Evolution) and The University of Maryland (Genes and the Human Condition – from Behavior to Biotechnology).
Carolyn works with chronically ill patients from all over the world, who have searched, sometimes for decades, to find the reason behind their ill health. Her strength lies in her ability to reveal layers of dysfunction and not give up until results are seen. Most of her patients have MTHFR mutations and/or associated methylation disturbances. She specializes in genetic susceptibility and how this contributes to biochemical dysfunction and chronic health conditions.
Ever since I found out I am homozygous for the MTHFR genetic SNP, I have been fascinated by the correlation between genes, epigenetics, and longevity. Now, many of you listening to this podcast rn are wondering what the heck I’m talking about. Genetic SNP’s are in us all, and we have multiple SNPs and unless we are tested for them, which traditional doctors do not do, you won’t know which one or ones you have. Our genes are given to us at birth but they certainly don’t define who we are or how we are going to move through life. Epigenetics refers to the impact, both positive and negative, that internal and external factors turn on and off genes. Environmental toxins, nutrition, physical activity, and stress are examples.
