In this short episode of The Ultimate Human, we’re going to shine the spotlight on anxiety. We'll decode anxiety's genetic ties, with a special emphasis on a common gene mutation- MTHFR, and its significant contribution to anxiety. We’ll explore the role of catecholamines like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine in anxiety, even in the absence of fear. Finally, we’ll give some simple nutrition recommendations highlighting how consuming folate-rich foods and supplementing with methylfolate and SAM-E could potentially revolutionize the treatment of anxiety and depression.
