What is MTHFR? What do I do now?
Hi, my name is Coleen and I am homozygous for the c677t MTHFR genetic mutation (SNP), plus I am homozygous for another 17 SNPs in the Methylation cycle. If you read my story, you already know that I was very sick and depressed for a number of years and conventional medicine did not help me. In fact, it made things worse – the shots and pills, were just not made for my genetics. I have been studying MTHFR and Methylation for years and I was confused for a long time, even with my nutrition and biochemistry background. I found out that I was not alone! Most of the in-depth information about MTHFR is highly scientific and most doctors did not understand these pathways either. When I went to Dr. Ben Lynches seminars, I found that most people attending were in the beginning stages of understanding and were overwhelmed with all of his amazing information. I saw the need with healthcare practitioners, specifically with my nutrition colleagues, to break this information down, so that more of them could understand the basic biochemistry of these methylation pathways. I created one hour seminars and presented them to healthcare practitioners of various modalities, but that did not fulfill the need. Since the interest was huge, I created a 5 hour seminar and this 5 hour webinar based on the live presentation.
Methylation cycle abnormalities can predispose you to disease. The MTHFR SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is at a key position in the methylation cycle and if not working properly, can effect the whole pathway, creating symptoms and disease. The good news is that nutritional protocols and lifestyle modifications can help tremendously! I am living proof and I would like to help you on your health journey.

Testimonials:
“My husband’s health issues were perplexing and not well addressed by medical doctors. Genetic testing gave us more pieces of the puzzle but we had no idea how to act on the information. After a bad experience with a different healthcare provider who claimed to be knowledgeable about MTHFR, we were lucky to find Coleen. We were impressed with her knowledge of MTHFR and its complex interactions with the many other genetic variations in the methylation and detoxification pathways. After a thorough history and review of lab work, Coleen devised an individualized plan that included diet, lifestyle, and supplements to bypass the defects and influence gene expression. Thanks to Coleen, my husband’s health is improving and we finally have hope that we have control over the situation.” ~ A. Volin, Denver, CO
“One month ago, both my husband and myself visited Coleen for an nutrition & MTHFR consultation. She has given us numerous practical suggestions to work with which we have implemented with great success. Coleen is passionate, very knowledgeable and insightful! We highly recommend seeing her for support!” ~ Tony and Suzanne B
“Coleen has studied MTHFR and associated mutations so thoroughly that she can so effortlessly explain the complicated biochemical pathways… She has done an amazing job with spreading awareness and understanding of this important information to practitioners and lay people alike. We, and I, are grateful for her efforts.” ~ Dr. Francesca Quinn, CMT, N.D., Vitality Natural Medicine
“Coleen’s webinar… was everything I needed to get a baseline grasp of this complicated and prevalent genetic problem. Because of her engaging teaching style and thorough presentation, I feel well equipped to help my clients address their methylation issues through nutrition and lifestyle changes. I strongly recommend this seminar for every practitioner who wants to better the lives of their patients and clients.” ~ Aimee McNew, MNT, McNew Nutrition
“
I am very grateful for Coleen Walsh’s MTHFR presentation. Much of this was new information that cleared up a lot of confusion. Ms. Walsh has created a well organized and thorough presentation on the subject with the best motivation, her own health quest. I feel much more confident about discerning which patients need testing or intervention and which patients to dose carefully.” ~ Dr. Scott Vander Wall, D.C., PC, Heartwood Soft Tissue Balancing
“Coleen distills a lot of complicated information into an understandable and straightforward presentation. I highly recommend her programs for those interested in diving into the world of methylation and looking to understand MTHFR better.“ ~ J, CO
“I recently purchased and listened to Coleen Walsh’s program called Thriving with MTHFR: The Science – Education for the Everyday Mutant. My journey began with MTHFR when I took my youngest daughter to a functional medicine trained naturopath. I had never even heard of MTHFR. After finding out that she carried this mutation, I was very drawn to digging deeper. I am a certified health coach and I’m just beginning to find my path; and this seemed to be drawing me here. Coleen’s program was amazing! From the moment she began breaking down what MTHFR even is; to the diagrams, and her particular way she described the methylation cycle. I felt like I finally understood how MTHFR and our SNP’s might be expressed. I would recommend this program to anyone who would like to dig deeper. She does an excellent job for us “everyday mutants.” – Amy R, Minnesota
“Coleen Walsh, is an exceptional Nutritional Therapist. I attended a recent webinar on Methylation and the MTHFR enzyme – and it was tremendous. It captured what I needed to learn and presented it in a way that was clear and easy to understand as a lay person. As a result, I am better able to make life health decisions because of this information that was presented. Anyone considering MTHFR health care should view this webinar. It will enable you to better understand the complexities in a functional way. The webinar manages to cast the subject in a way that both a person with no prior exposure can grasp the message, and also reach an audience of health practitioners who may be thinking about improving their practice in this direction. The webinar was well worth the investment in both time and money. I highly recommend it.” – John in Denver
“Coleen truly is the “methyl queen”! With her MTHFR and Methylation workshops she is able to take this complex subject and make it totally understandable. And she does this with much passion and pizazz! Every encounter with Coleen has been superb… from our first meeting at the NANP/National Association of Nutrition Professionals conference, to me interviewing her on MTHFR on The Anxiety Summit, to me offering her MTHFR training to my community (both practitioners and the layperson). I really do appreciate how she keeps up to date with the current research and continues to upgrade her knowledge and training programs in this ever-changing and vital aspect of finding optimal health.” Trudy Scott, Nutritionist, author The AntiAnxiety Food Solution, host The Anxiety Summit
“I want to tell you how much I appreciate your methylation webinar. I got my 23 and me report and the methylation part was a little too colorful for my liking, lol!
