I am delighted to have Dr. Austin Lake with me for a two-part series.
In Part 1 today, we dive into women’s health, exploring the importance of informed consent around birth control and of finding the root cause of why it was prescribed for you.
How to avoid the methylation problems with long-term birth-control use:
• Avoid folic acid, and take active folate to counter folate loss
• Maintain adequate B6 to prevent methylation from stalling
• If you have MTHFR, take active folate instead of synthetic folic acid to support proper methylation
