I started a podcast, which has been a strange and wonderful journey. It’s all about MTHFR because you know that is a passion project for me. I know how much managing my compound heterozygous situation has done for me, and I want to pass on all of that knowledge to you.
S2E41: MAO-A Fast and the Carbohydrate Rollercoaster – To Health With That! MTHFR Mutations.
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.
