MTHFR & Abortion Bans: Empowering Knowledge for Those Expecting
This week, Dr. Jen tackles two pressing questions that have been buzzing around. First, she dives into the MTHFR variant and its impact on folate processing, demystifying this complex topic in a way that’s easier to understand. But that's not all. She also addresses a timely concern about the current state of abortion bans. Specifically, she provides guidance for expectant mothers in the face of complications during pregnancy and limited abortion access in the U.S. Moreover, Dr. Jen sheds light on the significance of folic acid during pregnancy and shares her expert recommendations for couples trying to conceive. Dr. Jen's mission with this discussion is to empower listeners with knowledge, debunk myths, and equip them with the confidence to advocate for more comprehensive reproductive healthcare. Tune in for an informative and eye-opening episode!
What’s going down:
Understanding the MTHFR enzyme and its role in folate processing
The difference between folate and folic acid
Neural tube defects and why taking folic acid is necessary
Why abortion bans negatively impact intentionally pregnant people too
Unpacking the 12-week ban in North Carolina and the BS that comes along with it
Clitorally appalled by the state representative’s ability to "jump ship". See the video here.
Dr. Jen’s advice for anyone trying to get pregnant in a state where abortion is banned
