Welcome! My Name is Carolyn Ledowsky

I’m the founder of MTHFR Support Australia and The Functional Genomics Institute. 

I am a university-trained health scientist, researcher, naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist. I have also studied genetics at Duke University (Genetics and Evolution) and the University of Maryland (Genes and the Human Condition—From Behavior to Biotechnology).

For almost two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to helping chronically ill patients from around the world—individuals who have often searched for years, even decades, to find answers for their ongoing health struggles.

I believe I've achieved success with my patients when other practitioners haven't because my practice specialises in addressing genetic susceptibility and its crucial role in chronic health conditions and overall well-being. 

Now I am excited to help you achieve lasting relief from your health concerns, naturally. 

Many health conditions can stem from a process in the body called methylation. This is the first thing I assess with my patients. 

Many of my patients experience changes in certain genes that affect methylation. One key one is the MTHFR gene. Watch this free video to understand more about the MTHFR gene and if you should get tested for it. 

We have a range of online resources, courses, and supplements to help you on your journey, as well as a dedicated team of clinicians who can provide you with personalised support.
