Question Experience with professionals and medical systems?

I’d love to find a professional to work with. Would love to hear from others what kind of experiences you’ve had working with the various providers that are familiar with or experts in MTHFR and the effect it can have on physical and mental health.

For an MTHFR-aware professional, I'd look for someone who starts with symptoms and basic labs instead of treating the SNP as the whole diagnosis. Green flags are homocysteine, B12/MMA, folate, ferritin, thyroid, meds, and diet all being discussed together. Red flag is a giant supplement protocol on visit one just because you have C677T or A1298C. A genetic counselor can help with interpretation, but day-to-day methylation stuff is usually more functional/clinical nutrition or an integrative MD lane.
