If you’ve been working hard to get fit and healthy but always find yourself getting sick for some reason, chances are you need MTHFR Support. But what is MTHFR? Our guest today, Carolyn Ledowsky, is a naturopath and Founder of MTHFR Support Australia.

She’ll be giving us more in-depth insight about MTHFR and why it’s a big deal, especially in treating chronic conditions, fertility issues, and other serious concerns about your health. Discover how her work can be truly beneficial both to practitioners and patients alike.

“There’s a whole lot of cascades that happen when our body is inflamed, and that could be infection, gut bugs, COVID, a virus, or a bacteria. So the body goes, okay, I sense there’s something going on here. I’m going to upregulate inflammatory pathway, short term only so that I can deal with this.”

This triggers a process that makes you LOSE sodium at a rapid rate, causing headaches, low energy, muscle cramps, and insomnia.
