Summary

In support of my own autoimmune health, I'm taking a sabbatical for the month of December and releasing two of my favorite episodes from the archives that you might have missed. Today's episode is one of the most popular of all time. Once you start researching alternative approaches to treating autoimmune disease, it isn’t long before you hear of a gene mutation that can be a root cause for chronic illness and also a healing stumbling block. It’s called MTHFR. This is a very complex topic, and it’s easy to misunderstand and make mistakes trying to treat it. Our goal today is to explain MTHFR clearly in layman’s terms, talk about how you can tell if this mutation is indeed impacting your own health, and help you find a qualified practitioner to guide treatment. My guest is Dr. Ben Lynch, a world-renowned expert on this topic. He's the expert consulted by other experts. Visit https://www.phoenixhelix.com for show notes.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo diet and lifestyle.
0:07.4	While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
0:14.4	I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
0:24.7	pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor
0:30.9	nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your
0:35.5	health care team before making medical decisions. Now let's get
0:38.8	on to the show. Welcome to episode 137. In support of my own autoimmune health, I'm taking a sabbatical for the month of December and releasing two of my favorite episodes from the archives that you might have missed. Today's episode is one of the most popular of all time.
1:11.6	Once you start researching alternative approaches to treating autoimmune disease,
1:15.8	it isn't long before you hear of a gene mutation that can be a root cause for chronic illness
1:21.0	and also a healing, stumbling block.
1:23.3	It's called the MTHFR mutation.
1:26.6	It's a very complex topic and it's easy to misunderstand and make
1:30.3	mistakes trying to treat it. So our goal with this podcast is to explain MTHFR clearly in layman's
1:37.1	terms, talk about how you can tell if this mutation is indeed impacting your own health, and help
1:43.4	you find a qualified practitioner to guide
1:45.4	treatment. My guest, Dr. Ben Lynch, is a doctor of naturopathic medicine who runs the website
1:51.6	mthfr.net. He is considered the expert in this condition, writing, researching, and presenting
1:59.8	worldwide. He is the expert consulted by
2:02.9	other experts. So this is a great interview. I'm not at all surprised it's so popular. It has
2:09.0	helped a lot of people, and I hope it helps you too. Before we dive in, though, let's give a shout
2:14.3	out to our podcast sponsor, Paleo on the Go. They are a frozen meal delivery service,
