Hello everyone,
I'm having quite a difficult time trying to figure out just what I should do. This methylation issue has just been baffling me and I could REALLY use some help.
For about a year and a half now I haven't been myself; I cannot think clearly and it takes me three times longer to think of something that I could have come up with in a second. I am easily depressed and discouraged to even peruse anything. Coupled with brain fog and depression, I also have pretty bad anxiety and irritability. The smallest issues during the day will throw me into a loop. I've been working on better habits and improving my lifestyle (I am a avid gym goer, eat healthy, and drink tons of water, read a ton, etc).
About 4-6 months ago, I started taking methylated vitamins (methylfolate,methylcobalamin,biovite,b-right)... I felt good for about 3-4 days and then the extreme irritability and depression started to set in. I read Dr. Walsh's books and found out I may be making the issue worse. I added in niacin to "quench" the methlyation. That seemed to take the edge off a bit. Dr. Lynch says taking niacin and methylated vitamins is like having your foot on the gas and brake at the same time. I felt better taking the over the counter Costco Kirkland brand of b-vitamins (folic acid) . Needless to say...I'm so confused and lost.. I really need some help and would appreciate it very very much. I want to get my life back on track and get out of this horrible feeling that looms over me all day everyday.
Please help if you can.
I attached my NutraHacker and LiveWello.
Thank you very much.
