0:00.0	Today we're going to take a little dive into the science behind ADHD and a gene called MTHFR and how our diet can play a pivotal role in managing these symptoms. Hey guys we are on to one of my favorite
0:23.8	topics because this was a plague of mine for decades and that is the world
0:30.3	that moves at lightning speed and it is called ADHD. So attention deficit
0:36.7	or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the challenge that takes over
0:41.9	people's daily reality.
0:44.0	Now, MTHFR, as it probably seems,
0:47.4	is not the motherfucker gene.
0:49.6	It is methylene tetrahydropholate reductase and it is the gene that is responsible
0:55.7	for the conversion of pholic acid and some of its derivatives into the usable form or the active methylated nutrient called methylpholate.
1:06.0	So today we're exploring a fascinating link between genetics, diet, and ADHD.
1:11.0	So let's embark on this journey together.
1:13.8	The MTHFR gene, short for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase,
1:18.7	is not just a mouthful to say,
1:20.8	it is a very critical piece of our biological puzzle.
1:24.1	You've heard me talk many, many times about methylation
1:26.9	and the role that our genes play
1:28.6	and how we develop our personality,
1:30.6	how we develop mood, our emotional state, our mental clarity, our short-term
1:34.7	recall and MTHFR is one of the genes at the root of all of these. In fact, MTHFR is one of the most common gene deficiencies in the world.
1:46.0	You will hear from some clinicians that it has no impact on health and is absolutely harmless, and then you will see clinical evidence and peer reviewed
1:55.6	randomized trials that prove otherwise.
1:57.8	So this gene is responsible for an enzyme and it helps in a process that takes an amino acid and converts folate into its
