Actually, I DO have a type....

I’ve always been B positive, literally. But I never knew that little detail would help explain years of anemia, fatigue, and hormone chaos.

Turns out, my blood type and a hidden gene mutation (#MTHFR ) were giving me clues way before perimenopause hit. Now I’m listening, and sis, you should too.

Today’s post is about blood types, gene mutations, and why lab work before you feel bad is the move.

Read the full breakdown inside the Perimenopause Party group.

QR code’s in the next slide.

Come join us, we’re not gatekeeping this healing.

#PerimenopauseParty #KnowYourType #MTHFRMutation

2025/5/23 Edited to

The connection between blood types, anemia, and genetic factors like the MTHFR mutation can significantly impact your health journey. Understanding your blood type is vital, especially for those experiencing symptoms associated with perimenopause. Individuals with B+ blood may face specific health challenges, including anemia and fatigue, which could be linked to dietary deficiencies or genetic predispositions. The MTHFR gene, when mutated, affects your body’s ability to process folate and may lead to health issues like increased risk of cardiovascular disease or pregnancy complications. Getting comprehensive lab work done, even before symptoms arise, allows for proactive health management. Lab tests can identify deficiencies that predispose you to more serious conditions down the line. Community support, such as joining groups like the Perimenopause Party, can provide essential knowledge and shared experiences. Being informed about your body and blood type ensures you make the best decisions for your health. Embrace the journey of understanding your unique health profile and breaking the stigma around discussing these important topics.
