Ryan Monahan is a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, AIP Certified Coach, and Clinical Advisor.

In this episode, Ryan breaks down the often misunderstood world of methylation which is one of the most fundamental biochemical processes for optimal health. We dive deep into what methylation really is, how it affects everything from energy, hormones, detoxification, brain health, autoimmunity, fertility, and mood, and why it plays such a big role in healing from chronic illness.

What we cover in this episode:

• • The real-life symptoms of poor methylation
  • What can block your methylation pathways
  • Why checking for MTHFR gene mutations isn’t the whole story and what truly matters
  • The best nutrients to naturally support your methylation
  • How methylation influences DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, fat metabolism, hormone balance, detox, and energy
  • The biggest myths about MTHFR and methylation (and why most people are looking at it the wrong way)
