MTHFR gene mutations affect 30-50% of our population, although most of us don't know whether or not we have it. So what is MTHFR, exactly?
You can overcome the potential health risks associated with the MTHFR gene mutation through dietary, lifestyle, and supplement modifications!
this post If you have the MTHFR gene and histamine intolerance, you most likely have poor methylation, especially if you are deficient in B vitamins such as folate, vitamin B2, and vitamin B12. Having the MTHFR gene mutation, additional SNP’s in the methylation pathway, or poor methylation can contribute to histamine intolerance as the primary...Read More
There’s no need to follow a special MTHFR diet or supplement regimen, even if you have a genetic variation. Learn what to do instead to improve your health.

Gene Leedy is a name that not many people may recognize, but he was a key figure in the Sarasota School of Architecture. This movement, Sarasota School of Architecture emphasized modernist principles and the integration of architecture with the local climate and landscape. Leedy collaborated with ar

If you need a pick-me-up today, Wilder + Cooper should do the trick. In the wake of the legendary Gene Wilder’s passing, all of us here on Bloody Disgusting felt compelled to revisit classics like Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and we know we’re certainly not alone in spending this week […]
Want a student-friendly way to introduce chromosomes and genetics? This foldable contains rich visuals and fill-in-the-blank notes to help students understand concepts and key terms, such as genes, chromosomes, traits, genotype, phenotype, karyotypes, etc. Students distinguish between DNA, chromosomes, and genes and learn how our traits are controlled by pairs of genes on our chromosomes. In the more advanced version, students may dive deeper to recognize that genes carry instructions for making proteins, and it is these proteins that govern the traits/phenotype of individuals. This foldable is designed to give students the foundational knowledge to further explore basic Mendelian (single-locus) inheritance patterns. What’s Included in This Product -2 different levels of Chromosomes, Genes, & Basic Genetics foldable -Fill-in-the-blank notes with key -Guided PowerPoint for fill-in-the-blank notes -Instructional write-up Standards NGSS Core Disciplinary Ideas • LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits o Genes are located in the chromosomes of cells, with each chromosome pair containing two variants of each of many distinct genes. Each distinct gene chiefly controls the production of specific proteins, which in turn affects the traits of the individual. Changes (mutations) to genes can result in changes to proteins, which can affect the structures and functions of the organism and thereby change traits. o Variations of inherited traits between parent and offspring arise from genetic differences that result from the subset of chromosomes (and therefore genes) inherited. • LS3.B: Variation of Traits o In sexually reproducing organisms, each parent contributes half of the genes acquired (at random) by the offspring. Individuals have two of each chromosome and hence two alleles of each gene, one acquired from each parent. These versions may be identical or may differ from each other. Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and effect, structure and function Scientific and Engineering Practices: Developing and using models and constructing explanations (for science) Science Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) 7.13C – TSIET compare the results of asexual and sexual reproduction of plants and animals in relation to the diversity of offspring and the changes in the population over time. 8.13B – TSIET describe the function of genes within chromosomes in determining inherited traits of offspring. Biology 7A – TSIET identify components of DNA, explain how the nucleotide sequence specifies some traits of an organism, and examine scientific explanations for the origin of DNA.

Methylation is a big word you probably don’t think applies to you. But knowing about methylation could save your life or vastly improve it.
This activity covers an array of skills your child should have mastered before starting kindergarten. This teaches pincer grasp which is vital in learning how to write. Most children do not have the strength yet to do most pinching tasks, this will exercise those little fingers and get them strong to start writing. Close pins do not only teach this simple skill, but they also take a lot of concentration and finger balance to master. Not only will your child learn how to pinch, but they will learn colors, and matching as well. It can also be adapted to other animal. The possibilities are endless. I colorized my horse by printing them on to construction paper. They are laminated and I painted the close pins with matching non toxic tempera paint. You can also color the close pins with markers or crayons, but I found that paint seems to last longer. I lined the close pins up on the rim of a plastic cup, weighted the cup down with a few rocks, then painted and let dry. If you have any ideas or comments please feel free to leave them below. Thanks for looking!
