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.
I don’t take every single one of these every single day, but I’ve found benefits for adding supplements into my routine of life. Talk to your doctor first!

Peace of mind is the way too go, always!

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.
