So sometimes it's like, but if you didn't have carrots and you didn't have meat and you didn't have potatoes and all you have is gravy, it's like not a stew anymore, right, and so there are like small variations that can happen and it doesn't change the outcome very much.
Ever wondered why some people seem to have endless energy while others struggle with mood swings? The answer might lie in something called methylation. In this episode of 'The Good Mood Podcast', Dr. Talia Marcheggiani sits down with Dr. Christina Carew to unpack the science behind this crucial biological process and its impact on our mental health.
Methylation is involved in everything from energy production to DNA repair, and it turns out that genetic variations can throw a wrench in the works. Dr. Carew, a naturopathic doctor with a knack for simplifying complex topics, explains how changes in our genes, specifically in an enzyme called MTHFR, can affect our mood and overall well-being. She also highlights the potential dangers of synthetic folic acid found in many B complex vitamins and offers practical advice on diet and supplementation.

Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is accessible, offering valuable insights into the intersection of genetics, nutrition, and mental health.
