Understanding Folic Acid and Personalised Health Optimisation with Judith Mueller and Dr Enej Kuscer

In this episode of Biohacking Eve: Health Optimisation for Women, Judith Mueller and Dr Enej Kuscer delve into the importance of folic acid (vitamin B9) during pregnancy, emphasising its role in DNA and RNA synthesis. They explore the critical enzyme MTHFR, which affects folate conversion, and why methyl folate might be a better supplement choice for expectant mothers.

They discuss how genetic differences impact nutrient absorption, the differences between male and female health needs, particularly during reproductive years, and emphasise the importance of personalised health strategies for optimal wellbeing. Dr Kuscer also provides insights into genetic variations affecting vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin D. He explains how even identical twins can develop very different biologies over time due to lifestyle choices, despite having the same genetic makeup. Additionally, they explore The NU’s digital twin platform, which leverages multi-omics data to provide highly personalised health insights and predictive health strategies.
