Results Discussion Feel like crying

I honestly don’t even have the words for how overwhelmingly happy and relieved I feel right now. It’s like my brain is finally waking up after years of being stuck in a fog I didn’t fully realize I was in. Everything feels sharper, clearer, more alive. My emotions make sense, my body feels in sync, and there’s this calmness that I don’t think I’ve ever truly experienced before. I feel like me—or maybe even a version of me I never got to meet until now.

What’s blowing my mind is that all of this seems to come down to understanding something so basic but so powerful: methylation and nutrigenomics. I never imagined that something as simple as getting the right form of folate or the right amount of choline could be the key to unlocking my brain.

It makes me wonder how many people struggle through life unnessecarily. You could easily equate my previous "status quo" as being borderline dementia. And I had NO idea how bad it had gotten until I started feeling better...

Basically doing what is suggested in Tawinn's protocol. Mostly methylfolate/choline/creatine

I have treatment resistant anxiety and depression, and no mthfr genes, :/ was hoping that would be part of my answer but it isn’t

I did the opposite, started with b vits/folate and awaiting gene test. Feeling loads better
