I stumbled upon a thread in 23andme about MTHFR that described so many health issues I have had, that I haven't been able to feel better with cleaning up my diet. After running my raw data through geneticgenie.com I got the below results.
Methylation SNP’s
+ / + MTHFR C677T, MTRR A66G, AHCY-01, AHCY-02, AHCY-19
+ / - COMT V158M, VDR Bsm, VDR Taq, MAO A R297R, MTRR 4664A, BHMT-02, BHMT-02, BHMT-04, BHMT-08
Detox SNP’s
+ / + CYP1B1 L432V, SOD2 A16V
+ / - CYP1A2 164A<3, CYP2CP*2 C430T, CYP2D6 2850<T, NAT2 I114T
A few weeks ago I started methyl B12 and methyl folate. At first it gave me a lot of energy and knocked me out of a fog I was in. I'm starting to get that wired and tired feeling again. I also recently came out of a year of many major life events and have adrenal fatigue. I would do anything to just sleep for a solid week..lol I'm sure many people here for the same way!!
My question is what would be the best tests, without going bankrupt, to run first based on my mutations? None of the tests will be covered under insurance and I don't have anyone to work with me on this, so I will be going at it on my own.
I have a history of always being sick with strep, laryngitis, varyngitis, bronchitis, sinus infections, UTI, yeast infection and took more rounds of antibiotics than I care to admit. About 10 years ago started cleaning up my diet, seeing a nutritionist and naturopath's. Got off refined sugar, milk, gluten and soy for the most part. These changes have helped, but I still find myself wore out. I'm now 5 years antibiotic free just from staying away from doctors, cleaning up my diet and taking supplements. I became a certified nutritionist a couple years ago and recently got certified as a personal trainer. I help people get fit and learn healthy/clean eating habits. My concern started to grow when I wasn't progressing in my workouts. I should be able to run at least a half marathon by now, but my body just breaks down and I didn't understand. Then in my personal training studies I read about the Kreb's and ATP PC energy cycle and thought to myself, there is something wrong with my energy cycle???!!! Two weeks later I learned about MTHFR and interestingly have mutations with AHCY which has to do with ATP. Amazing how the doors open like that! I have added more amino acids to my shakes. I'm thinking I should definitely get a homocysteine test? Oh and my whole family has a history of dying in their 70's from heart disease. My cholesterol always ran in 190's or more until recently when I started drinking a daily shake that claimed to lower cholesterol. Now it's in the 160's.
Any guidance would be awesome!
Thank you in advance
