MTHFR is a gene that provides the instructions for an enzyme of the same name, which converts dietary folate into its active form, methylfolate. When there is a mutation in the MTHFR gene, this conversion process can be less efficient, potentially impacting the body's ability to process folate and homocysteine. This can affect numerous bodily functions, including DNA repair, hormone metabolism, and the creation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

Living with PCOS isn’t easy, but finding a rhythm that actually supports your body is possible. Over the years, I’ve tried just about everything — from trendy supplements to lifestyle changes — and this is the stack that has truly made a difference in how I feel day to day. These are the PCOS support supplements and women’s wellness products that help me manage insulin resistance, hormone balance, energy, focus, and overall well-being. I don’t believe in “quick fixes” — I believe in small, consistent habits that make you feel like you again. From Alpha Lipoic Acid for insulin support, to Inositol for hormone balance, and NAC for detox and clarity, each item in this list is something I personally use as part of my daily routine. They’ve helped me feel more in control of my symptoms, more energized, and less bloated — and that’s a huge win in my book. 💬 I share my real results, morning routines, and supplement breakdowns on TikTok — you can find my full PCOS Supplement Series on @LegallyTt, where I talk about what’s working, what’s not, and how I combine these with diet, movement, and self-care. 🌿 Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just trying to understand your body better, I hope this list gives you a place to start. Every woman’s PCOS journey is different — and that’s okay. 💡 Disclaimer: I’m not a medical professional.

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.
As one of my mom’s caregivers, I wanted to create a list of the ALS caregiving products, mobility aids, respiratory equipment, comfort items, and daily living tools that have genuinely helped her. These recommendations come from her physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, doctors, and our own experience caring for her at home. We have tried many products that did not work for her, so I am only including items she has actually used and found helpful. ALS is a progressive disease, and a person’s needs can change over time, so not every item will be appropriate for every stage or every patient. However, everything included on this list made a meaningful difference for my mom at some point in her ALS journey. Sending lots of love to all persons with ALS and caregivers of people with ALS. I am hopeful that there will be a cure one day. ***As with anything on Benable, I earn a very small royalty from purchases made here, but I wouldn't recommend anything I haven't bought for my own mom. This platform just seemed like a great method for sharing recommendations! Any money I earn here goes right back into supporting my mom***
