          <itunes:summary>Funked Up MTHFRs is a hilarious, pearl clutching examination of those hard truths that set us free for the MTHFR Exodus for the Rest of Us from systems we were never supposed to be in.  We know it’s the world’s worst name for a faith-based podcast, but give it a chance - and see what you learn.

We will discuss politics, history, religion/faith-based concepts, as well as science topics surrounding the MTHFR genetic polymorphism and others associated with DNA methylation, folate metabolism &amp; glutathione production. We will explain these tiny biological systems and how they impact Autism Spectrum Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Addiction, ADD/ADHD/AuDHD, Cardiovascular issues &amp; autoimmune diseases.</itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Our story expands the events of 1999. Once again, we head off in the time machine, this time with the help of Michael Jackson &amp; Stephen Curtis Chapman.  As you dive in, you will hear a story woven with great expectations that keeps us starting something. This episode includes a ridiculous story about our first trip to DC to meet with the Big Boys.  Fail enough times, and you will succeed eventually. Don't try, and you've already failed.

Dedicated to the memory of Jeana Beck Smith &amp; Nancy Cale.  Huge thanks to my friend who recognized the molecule on the mystery van in our logo for her encouragement. Keep listening for clues - more seeds planted for more episodes down the line! </p>

        <itunes:summary>And we’re back - on memory lane when we took our babies to the doctor with fevers but nothing they found. Our journey asking questions was off with a bang and within 18 months we went from breakdowns to breakthrus. Faith, hope and love can help you get your message out to 34 countries and testify before Congress. Compounded failures can eventually produce results.  Learning is never easy, and sometimes the mistakes you make when you put your faith in the wrong thing, can have serious consequences for decades. God works everything out in His own time.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>We’re back &amp; ready to party like you’ve never imagined in Episode 2! This episode explains how others shape our perception of the world. How important information and even pop culture manage to make it through the roadblocks of power and politics that hold it back.

The CDC Autism Prevalence report that was published in 2025 had something important that was glossed over. But maybe it shouldn’t be.  Did you know that 10 percent of 8 year old children in California, Louisiana &amp; Tennessee are currently diagnosed with autism? That’s not 1 in 31. That’s 1 in 10.

And the MAMAs have known it for 14 years...and even warned leadership that it was coming. How did they know?</itunes:summary>
