New Paid Tier in the Methylation Hub - Paid tier opens tomorrow: recorded sessions plus direct messaging for broad recommendations, not treatment - One-on-one sessions possibly in the future - Priced at 29 USD a month to start, for the first 50 people; annual is 290 USD, saving 2 months' worth - Annual Members get the MTHFR clinician guide (currently 59 USD) free, plus its upcoming upgraded version - Fertility Unasked Questions answered, and Archive foundations content stay free; implementation content moves to paid Over Methylation - Symptoms within days of starting: anxiety, feeling wired, insomnia, palpitations, headaches, irritability - Excess methyl groups build SAME; byproduct SAR inhibits COMT, so dopamine accumulates, worse with slow COMT genetics - Labs: normal homocysteine, high B12 and high folate - Management: pause methyl donors, test potassium to rule out hypokalemia, switch to hydroxy B12, restart methyl folate low and slow Methyl Trapping - Methionine synthase lacks enough B12, so 5-MTHF gets stuck, and homocysteine rises - Labs: normal or high serum folate, high homocysteine, low or low normal active B12, elevated methylmalonic acid - - RBC folate preferred over serum folate - Management: give B12 first, restart methyl folate after a couple of weeks, retest homocysteine Key Takeaways - The difference is B12: one needs B12, the other needs fewer methyl donors - Treat labs combined with genetics, not the MTHFR genotype alone (e.g. homozygous 677, up to 70% slower) - Prefer hydroxy or hydroxy plus adenosylcobalamin over methyl B12 where possible - You can send questions for the next live via DMs or post in the methylation group Q&A section
