(a.k.a. Make Methylation Sexy Again)

I want to tell you about the moment I realized my depression wasn’t my fault.

It wasn’t because I needed more yoga.
It wasn’t because I wasn’t “trying hard enough.”
And it definitely wasn’t because I wasn’t grateful.

It was because my body literally couldn’t process folate.
Which, by the way, is required for making serotonin.

Yeah.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jaya.
Welcome to Track 4 of Life of a Oui Girl — where we talk about the things that actually change women’s lives.

Like… Enlyte.

That little red capsule? It’s not magic.
It’s methylated.
And for some of us, that makes all the difference.

🧬 WAIT, WHAT’S MTHFR?

Let’s back up.

There’s a common genetic mutation — called MTHFR — that affects your body’s ability to convert folic acid into methylfolate.

Methylfolate is what your brain actually uses to make neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

About 40–60% of people have some version of this mutation.

And if you’re homozygous — meaning you got it from both parents?
Your methylation pathway is basically driving with the emergency brake on.

Symptoms can show up as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Recurrent miscarriages
• Infertility
• Chronic inflammation
• Elevated homocysteine
• Even treatment-resistant mental health conditions

So if your doctor only prescribed an SSRI…
and you still don’t feel better?

There’s a reason.

💊 ENTER: ENLYTE

Enlyte is a medical-grade methylated folate supplement — which means it bypasses the broken enzyme and goes straight to work.

It doesn’t just cover up symptoms.
It gives your brain the ingredients it needs to actually make the chemicals that help you feel better.

It’s:

• Prescribable
• Often covered by insurance
• Safe to take alongside antidepressants
• Also supports pregnancy, fertility, and hormonal balance

Think of it as the foundation — the prequel to your Prozac.

Because you can’t build neurotransmitters without the raw materials.

🧠 MY STORY

I’ve been tired for 20 years.
Lol. Real talk.

So when my ridiculously intelligent and gorgeous colleagues, the Luraguiz sisters, told me:

“You have to take Enlyte.”
I was listening.

Even when I was doing everything right — eating well, exercising, meditating, therapy, meds —
I was still low energy, brain foggy, and depressed.

I ran my Genesight test.
I ran my MTHFR labs.

And the results said: “You’re heterozygous for the C677T mutation.”

I stared at the screen and thought:

Oh my God. This wasn’t my fault.

Started Enlyte.
And slowly… it was like the lights came back on.

Now I’m like y’all — when I feel bad, it could be 17 different things, and when I feel good, I have no idea what actually helped.

But when I ran out of Enlyte after four months?
I realized real quick.

“Wait… why can’t I think?”
“Oh sht. The Enlyte was helping!”*

Just… clear.
Like my brain stopped treading water — and started swimming.

🔬 THIS ISN’T “JUST A SUPPLEMENT”

This is clinical nutrition for your brain.
It’s functional medicine meets psychiatry.

ALSO! FUN SIDE NOTE:
The creator of Enlyte is a biochemist from Shreveport — Harold Townsend, Class of 1969 from Byrd High School!

I’ve had multiple trainings with him and he is just… salt of the earth.
A genius. A magnificent individual.

He’s had MULTIPLE opportunities to sell out to Big Pharma and make a gajillion dollars — and hasn’t.
Because he cares too much about the integrity of the product.

At The Oui Doctor, we screen for MTHFR regularly — especially in patients with:

• Mental health concerns
• Hormonal imbalance
• Fatigue
• Fertility challenges

Because we don’t believe in throwing random meds at people and hoping something sticks.

We treat the root cause.

And when we see MTHFR mutations?
We don’t panic.
We prescribe Enlyte.
Or something similar — but always methylated.

Because folic acid?
Is not it, girl.

✨ THE TAKEAWAY

If you’ve ever said:

• “My meds don’t work.”
• “I’ve tried everything.”
• “I just want to feel like myself again.”

You deserve a Genesight test.
You deserve to know if you have MTHFR.
And you deserve to try Enlyte — or a comparable methylated formula — so your brain can finally exhale.

You are not a problem to be fixed.
But your biochemistry?
That’s absolutely worth decoding.

Come see us at The Oui Doctor.
We’ll help you get the right tools in your hands — and the spark back in your soul.
