The Achiever and The Athlete Personality Types

,Methylation imbalance and the causative factors leading to methylation imbalance, like the MTHFR gene mutation, shows itself in four distinct personality types. These methylation personality types, methylation archetypes or MTHFR personalities are called The Achiever, The Athlete, The Activist, and The Artist.

The Achiever and The Athlete are very closely linked. Both are extremely ambitious, perfectionistic, competitive, and driven. Both tend to have more allergic-type reactions to the world. Things like hay fever, hives, dermatographia, and skin flushing with a workout. Neither of these personalities tend to tolerate leftovers very well (because leftovers are also high in histamine).

These two personality types also tend to react predictably to supplements, nutrients, and even pharmaceutical drugs. Anything that boosts serotonin, so SSRI medications, St. John's Wort, and melatonin do well for these groups. Likewise, the major methyl donors tend to do well. These are SAMe, TMG, and DMG. Conversely, these groups don't do as well with folate, even the MTHFR-safe forms like L-5MTHF or folinic acid. Also, the benzodiazepine class of pharmaceuticals isn't usually the best choice (although your doctor knows the best choice of pharmaceuticals for you, and your doctor's information is always more informed and correct for you than ours.)
