Fit Nerd is where faith, fitness, and science collide. We geek out on genetics, health, and training — all while keeping Christ at the center. From nutrition and hormones to joyful movement and real-life faith, you’ll discover how to work with the body God designed so you can feel strong, energized, and fearfully fit. I like to explore the current trends- food, exercise, and lifestyle- and discuss who that trend will benefit and why.

Episode 3: MTHFR- What does it mean and why it matters for your health.

Have you ever heard someone say they have the “MTHFR gene mutation” and wondered what that even means? In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — genes out there.
The MTHFR gene plays a huge role in how your body processes folate, detoxifies, and even produces energy. When this gene isn’t functioning at its best, it can affect everything from mood and hormones to how well you recover and handle stress.
I’ll break down what the MTHFR gene actually does, what it means to have a mutation, and how you can find out if it’s affecting you. You’ll also learn practical, natural ways to support this pathway through nutrition, lifestyle, and faith-based living — so you can start feeling your best and living the way God designed your body to thrive.
You were designed on purpose — and when you understand your body’s blueprint, you can start supporting it the way it was meant to function. 💛
