…THFR gene variants (common in ~85% of people). These impair folate processing → elevated homocysteine → massive inflammation and cytokine storms (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-17, etc.). High homocysteine (>10-12 µmol/L; ideal <7-8) acts like a "cytokin…

…R gene may be part of the reason. MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) is a genetic SNP—a small DNA variation that affects how your body processes folate (vitamin B9). The most common variants, C677T and A1298C, can reduce your abili…

Thyroid health remains essential during menopause. Optimal labs should show FT3 around 4.0 and FT4 near 1.5, and testing through Direct Labs makes it easy to track. Supporting with supplements like Thyromin can help, but only if guided by a…
