Dr. Mark Hyman

It's called anencephaly.

It's terrible.

She was just struggling.

And we, she was the director of this movie fed up that I was in like 10 years ago.

And in the, in the kind of tour of the movie, we were going on tour, going on TV and radio, whatever.

We were riding in a cab in New York City and she has her baby there and breastfeeding this baby in the back of the cab.

And she's telling me that story where she read this article I wrote, I don't know, 20 years ago or something, on methylation, which has to do with B vitamins and folate B6.

And we know that if you're deficient in folate and it's one of the things you get in a prenatal vitamin, that actually you will have trouble potentially with birth defects or miscarriages.

And she read this article.

She went to her doctor.

She had her doctor check homocysteine, which again, most doctors don't check.

They'll check Foley, which usually may not be a problem on the lab test, but the homocysteine is a better test.

And we do that at Function Help.

And that's part of the panel that we create as a baseline.

And that was elevated.

And the doctor said, okay, I'll just give you folate.

And she says, no, no, Dr. Hyman says to check this gene to see if I need a different kind of folate.

And he checked the gene.

She had the gene.

And we also checked that a functional called MTHFR.
