He is a clinician and one of the top researchers in the field of MTHFR genetic mutation. He developed a unique approach combining Functional Medicine, Genetics, Epigenetics, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Nutrition, and Integrative Medicine diagnostics. He has done extensive research in the MTHFR area and with the understanding of multiple disciplines he has coached doctors from all over the country on how to treat patients with MTHFR mutations and methylation issues.

He believes that educating and empowering people to take control of their own health is one of the most important gifts he can give to his patients. "The more knowledge people have, the better are the decisions they make about their own health." With a passion for helping people reverse their long-lasting illnesses, Ricardo founded MTHFRdoctors.com. Today MTHFRdoctors.com is one of the leading websites in the field of MTHFR with the biggest research database on MTHFR related studies available.

MTHFRdoctors.com is an online resource for those searching for information about the MTHFR gene mutation and how it may affect their health. We have created a channel to help the consumer learn about the MTHFR gene mutation, order tests, vitamins and supplements, skin care products, health coaching, and extract genetic reports from raw data from ancestry.com and 23andme.

Over 80% of the population has a MTHFR gene mutation in one of the two most important alleles (C677T or A1298C). These mutations may cause people to lose from 20% to 80% of their ability to metabolize folate (folic acid). Folate is the main fuel for methylation and without the proper amount of folate converted into methylfolate, a person may be more prone to develop inherited health conditions and may not properly detox.
