Welcome back to the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast!
This week, Augustine is joined by two incredible guests: Chemin Perez, a dedicated midwife from Washington State, and Julie Miller, an expert in Applied Clinical Nutrition. Together, they explore the fascinating topic of the MTHFR gene.
In this episode, they unravel what MTHFR is and delve into the epigenetics behind it. They discuss its various manifestations, such as long-term anemia, depression, anxiety, and thyroid issues, and its significant impact on pregnancy and childbirth. Plus, they explain how midwives can test for this gene in their clients.
Julie and Chemin also reveal the specific protocol they've used with their clients carrying this gene. Spoiler alert: they have successfully turned off the gene in patients who followed this protocol for two years!
Augustine adds her insights from her studies on iron and its crucial role in this context.
