"Connecting the dots: Migraines, cognitive decline, and MTHFR"
Hello, thank you for sharing information about this topic. In Spain, people have no idea that this genetic mutation exists and that it can affect you so much in the long run. Doctors never test your homocysteine levels, and if you finally manage to convince one to order it in your bloodwork, they don't know what to do with the results afterwards. It’s unbelievable!! I believe in preventive medicine... I've suffered from migraines since I was 20, and my mother was diagnosed with cognitive decline 10 years ago. Ever since then, my search for answers began... and in the end, I had to diagnose the genetic mutation myself, researching and studying on my own. That's how I found you on Instagram and later on Skool. I have finally managed to get a hematologist to order the genetic test; I had it done yesterday, Tuesday, and I will have the results soon. I am already supplementing and managed to bring my homocysteine down from 53 to 30... but I still have a way to go. Thank you for all the valuable content you provide on this blog. Best regards.

This is the first thing I'd love you to do when you join. Reply below and tell us: 1. Your variant: C677T, A1298C, compound heterozygous, or not yet tested? 2. What brought you here: what's your biggest question or health concern right now? 3. One thing you're hoping to get from this community 4. Every reply gets a personal response from me. This is not a number on a member's list; you are a person with a real health story, and it matters. I'll go first 👇 As a physician, I became interested in methylation after observing several patients who did not improve with standard protocols. I saw a gap in how I cared for patients. This prompted me to study genomics and nutrigenomics, with a focus on MTHFR and how minor genetic variations affect health. As I learned about MTHFR's clinical relevance, similarities between my patients, my personal medical history, and the condition led me to undergo genetic testing. I found that I am heterozygous for the MTHFR 1298 T>C variant. This underscored the importance of genetics in clinical practice and changed the way I support patients, especially those who do not respond to standard protocols. I now ensure my diet includes ample folate-rich foods and, as needed, supplements. After 25 years in practice, I am convinced that identifying key genetic factors is essential for effective patient care, helping me focus on meaningful interventions and avoid unnecessary complexity.

Hi! I’m 36, from Spain, and homozygous for MTHFR C677T. I was tested after having a severe seizure-like neurological episode at 25 that was triggered by hormonal treatment. My MRI didn’t show any vascular damage, but further testing found both homozygous C677T and heterozygous Factor V Leiden. The eventual diagnosis for these episodes was severe migraine with aura. Since then, I’ve continued having aura episodes associated with normal hormonal fluctuations, sometimes several times a month, and particularly after periods of acute stress. I’m currently TTC after a pregnancy loss last year and am considering IVF. My main concern is how I might react to the hormonal stimulation given my previous neurological response to hormones, migraine with aura and Factor V Leiden. Lifestyle-wise, I eat mostly whole foods with daily sources of folate, omega-3s and antioxidants, exercise regularly and take a prenatal supplement. My routine blood tests have generally been very good. I’m trying to understand my own biology better rather than assuming MTHFR explains everything. Always curious and trying to do better.
