Genetic Methylation Test in Melbourne

At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we can provide MTHFR gene testing to determine whether your body is adequately converting folates to active 5-MTHFR. Insufficient conversion, also known as methylation deficiency, can lead to a variety of physical and mental health issues, which is why it’s important to organise a genetic methylation test in Melbourne before serious problems arise.

The Importance of MTHFR

MTHFR is an enzyme involved in processing folates. Also referred to as Vitamin B9, folates are required to synthesise DNA and RNA, which is important for maintaining proper cellular function. They are also responsible for metabolising amino acids, which are essential for the healthy production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.

Folate is also required for the formation and maturation of red blood cells and white blood cells. Difficulties converting folates to active 5-MTHFR interferes with these processes, making it difficult for the body to activate or deactivate neurotransmitters, tissue repair, inflammation, stress responses and more. Methylation deficiencies can also lead to growth issues and chronic diseases.

Health Issues Insufficient Conversion Can Lead to

Physically, individuals with impaired MTHFR gene function may experience cardiovascular issues. Methylation is vital for regulating homocysteine levels, and a deficiency in 5-MTHFR can result in elevated homocysteine, contributing to cardiovascular problems such as blood clot formation and arterial damage.

Mental health is also closely linked to the MTHFR gene, as methylation is essential for neurotransmitter synthesis and regulation. Insufficient methylation can disrupt the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, contributing to mood disorders and anxiety. Impaired methylation may also affect the body’s ability to produce and regulate important brain chemicals, potentially leading to cognitive issues, memory problems and difficulties with concentration.

Beyond cardiovascular and mental health concerns, inadequate methylation can impact the immune system. Methylation is involved in DNA synthesis and repair, and a deficiency in 5-MTHFR may compromise the body’s ability to maintain a robust immune response. This can result in increased susceptibility to infections and other immune-related disorders, making it important to arrange a genetic methylation test in Melbourne if you’re experiencing these issues.

In women, MTHFR gene variations have also been linked to fertility issues and complications during pregnancy. Insufficient methylation can affect hormone balance, potentially leading to challenges in conceiving and an increased risk of miscarriage.

Reviews

I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the last 5 months for gut issues I have had for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable and ensured that the treatment and solution provided was targeted and tailored to my issues which has brought me great relief and improvement. A very professional, friendly and understanding approach that I would recommend to others.
Lina is absolutely fantastic to work with. Her passion for her work shows in absolutely every aspect of her practise - her level of care, her thoroughness & determination to help.
Angela is friendly and helpful, she takes the time to explain things clearly and cares about health. I have felt an improvement since following her advice thank you 🙏
Emma is friendly, knowledgeable & very thorough in her testing so as to resolve existing issues.
Coming into the clinic it feels instantly warm and cuddly. Very welcoming. I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca, she was amazing and very knowledgable. Rebecca was brilliant at prescribing me natural supplements that catered to my specific needs. I’d love to praise her on her communication skills also, I am Deaf, and even having my interpreter alongside me, Rebecca spoke and looked directly at me, making me feel seen, heard and understood. I would also give a big round of applause to the receptionist and other staff at the clinic, they were all very accomodating, warm and friendly.
I've been seeing Lina for about two years now to treat a skin related condition. Lina is extremely knowledgeable; she is patient and persistent but best of all, she is practical! Her advice was tailored to suit my lifestyle and commitments without being unworkable or unrealistic. She really cares and is passionate about health. I would recommend Lina 100%.
I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the past 4 months due to leaky gut symptoms and a bacterial overgrowth in my GI tract. Erin is knowledgeable, kind and understanding and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are getting the right treatment. My symptoms are greatly reduced and we are on track to a full recovery after 10 years of other practitioner’s not finding an answer. It’s been life changing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Erin
Today was my second visit with Lina who is so kind and caring and she has given me hope that my perimenopause symptoms can be balanced with her guidance. I have already felt a shift in my sleep which had been horrible. The clinic is so lovely, staff are very helpful and I look forward to the journey ahead of managing this transition in my life.
I've had stomach problems for years and doctors have never properly diagnosed the problem. After one meeting with Emma I was giving a breath test and found the issue. We are now working to fix the issue
