Methylation

Methylation is a huge topic and an essential process for every cell and organ in our body.  When we don’t methylate effectively we may experience health issues that range from headaches and chronic fatigue to more serious issues such as bipolar, psychosis and schizophrenia.

Methylation is a vital metabolic process that happens in every cell and every organ of the human body, taking place a million times a second.  It can be a little scary and overwhelming, but life would not exist without it.

Think of billions of little on/off switches inside our body that control everything from our stress response and how the body makes energy from food, to our brain chemistry and detoxification.  It is like the signal station at the railway!  Things have to work in a specific order, switches on and off so the next station along the way can do its job.  Methylation is the transfer of a methyl group onto amino acids, proteins, enzymes and DNA.
