What in the world is MTHFR? (And why you should care)
Although it looks like an acronym for a dirty word, MTHFR stands for methyletetrahydrofolate reductase—which is an enzyme that converts folic acid (vitamin B9) into its usable, active form—called methyl-folate (5MTHF). Active methyl-folate is important because it plays a crucial role in a biochemical process called methylation. Methylation is heavily involved with your body’s ability to detox itself, as well as enzyme, hormone and neurotransmitter production, and it even affects your DNA! Methylation is...
Do you eat enough of these cancer-fighting foods?
As you can probably recall, I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events, especially when they revolve around health issues like cancer.

Could this be the magic answer to a longer life?
I am going to go out on a limb today and say that most of us don’t want a visit from the grim reaper anytime soon. As a matter of fact, I suspect what the majority of people would say when asked what’s most important to them is good health and a long life! Well, that’s certainly what our bodies were designed to achieve. Nature did not intend for you to be diseased, medicated,...
