Methylation was a big Trichy Trend in 2025. We are seeing signs of it in most of the blood tests we see in clinical practice.
But what does it mean..
Methylation is a vital biochemical process. It affects nearly every bodily function, including DNA repair, neurotransmitter production, detoxification, and immune response.
Symptoms of methylation issues can vary greatly depending on whether the body is undermethylating or overmethylating:
Undermethylation (more common): Associated with low levels of certain neurotransmitters and high histamine. Symptoms can include obsessive-compulsive tendencies, perfectionism, seasonal allergies, high libido, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and a low pain threshold.
Overmethylation: Associated with excessive levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and low histamine. Symptoms can include high anxiety/panic attacks, rapid speech, low motivation/libido, sleep disorders, paranoia, chemical sensitivities, and a high pain threshold.
General symptoms that can indicate a need for methylation support include:
🌸 Infertility or recurrent miscarriages
🌸 Hormonal imbalances (PMS, PCOS)
🌸 Cardiovascular issues (e.g., high homocysteine levels)
🌸 Memory problems or brain fog
🌸 Autoimmune conditions
🌸 Histamine intolerance (eczema, hay fever)
