Tricia Nelson

Tricia Nelson is an emotional eating expert and the author of Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating.  I am delighted to have the opportunity to talk with her because emotional eating, while it might sound like a departure for me, is a common problem among us MTHFR folks.   Anyone with MTHFR, COMT fast, or MAO-A fast can be more susceptible than average to emotional eating because emotional eating typically stems from low dopamine or low serotonin. Emotional eating falls within the realm of addictive behaviors and so it can be an MTHFR issue.  The full interview is roughly 30 minutes and well worth a watch - check it out in the show notes here.  To visit Tricia Nelson's website or schedule a consultation with her, please go to healyourhunger.com.

S2E42: Emotional Eating - an Interview with Tricia Nelson

If I had to pick one mutation that was AS pivotal as MTHFR is, it would be PEMT. This mutation affects literally EVERY cell in your body - all 37.2 trillion of them. We'll talk about:  The one well studied polymorphism (and the legions of other ones) Signs and symptoms that may point to a PEMT problam How to ease the burden on your PEMT And why it's important to love your liver.   Enrollment for the Beta group of MTHFR for Life is now open and it's 75% off the usual price. We'll get started on July 11th and spots are limited for the Beta group so enroll now.

S2E42: PEMT, Every Cell In Your Body, and MTHFR

This week we'll talk about another gene SNP picture that is called MAO-A Fast. Having a fast MAO-A means you break down neurotransmitters faster than average, and since this gene SNP breaks down Serotonin, Melatonin, Norepinephrine, and Epinephrine you can imagine it leads to quite a lot of self-medication, and the easiest way to self-medicate is with Carbs. So we'll talk about:  What is happening when you reach for the sugary and starchy carbs How to get off of the carbohydrate rollercoaster What diet is best for you Other things you can do to support healthier neurotransmitter levels.

MAO-A is another gene SNP that is different from the others we've talked about because it is actually linked to a sex chromosome. The various SNPs add up to produce a "fast" or "slow" picture. We'll discuss:  Why we can't tell women's MAO-A picture from a genetic report What symptoms to watch for that might indicate you have an MAO-A Slow picture How to manage slow MAO-A naturally Foods to enhance and avoid for slow MAO-A  If you'd like to take a look at the complete show notes, they're here.

COMT and MTHFR

MTHFR is not the only gene SNP out there - I know, you'd never know that if you listen to this podcast. So let's start a mini-series about other polymorphisms, but first we need to talk about the perils of deep diving into a genetic report. Genes are not very linear, but then what are they and how can we talk about them in a way that makes sense? There is one really big thing that matters a lot more than what gene SNPs are on your genetic report, do you know what it is? Do you know how to work with your genetics if you've never had a genetic report done? Let's discuss this and more.

Genes are not very linear, but then what are they and how can we talk about them in a way that makes sense? There is one really big thing that matters a lot more than what gene SNPs are on your genetic report, do you know what it is? Do you know how to work with your genetics if you've never had a genetic report done? Let's discuss this and more.

S2E28: Other Gene SNPs with MTHFR

MTHFR Basic States are an idea that generates a lot of controversy. Some well-respected practitioners don't like to use the idea at all, and some do. So let's talk through Basic States and I'll tell you why I think Basic States are a great concept that is really useful when you're working with MTHFR. We'll talk about  Where the idea of basic states came from Why I don't like the terms "undermethylation" and "overmethylation" The risks of paying attention to gene SNPs but not basic state - especially when you aren't working with a practitioner.

We've talked about so many facets of depression with MTHFR - including the link between MTHFR and neurotransmitter formation, overlooked causes of depression, the mental bad-habit factor, and what to do about those things.

This week we'll talk about:  Saffron NAC Rhodiola  We'll go over the best times to take them, common doses used in research, and possible mechanisms of action.

S2E26: Supplements for Depression with MTHFR

Listeners Liana and Tim asked a couple of great questions this week so let's dive into them. Liana asks about specific product suggestions for 5-LMTHF - we'll talk about what to look for, a few of my personal favorites, and companies that I trust. Tim asks about whether there is or isn't folic acid in Marmite and this sent me down a rabbit hole of questions, so we'll talk through the somewhat ambiguous information that is out there on nutritional labels, and what to do with that. Also, how afraid do we need to be of added folic acid? I'll also dive into another great yeast-based food, which is nutritional yeast and what you need to look for there. Thanks so much for listening today and please make sure you're on the email list here because we've got some great programs coming up. Also, if you're interested in the MTHFR community Genetic Rockstars, click here.
