Practitioner — Genetics & Methylation | MTHFR Gene Health
Meet Russell Browne
Russell Browne is the founder and head practitioner of MTHFR Gene Health™ and MTHFR Support™, focusing on complex health problems and the specific needs of each individual.
Russell founded MTHFR Gene Health™ and has practised natural and alternative medicine since 2014. He has worked with patients from around the world, drawing on his experience in identifying and unravelling complex health problems using advanced, evidence-informed testing and treatment.
He specialises in genetics, advanced nutrition, methylation, epigenetics and nutrigenomics — an approach built on understanding each patient’s individual strengths and weaknesses. As Russell often puts it: “If your practitioner doesn’t understand your genetics, they’re missing a large part of the picture.”
How Russell works
Russell’s approach is to listen carefully and take the time to understand each patient — their health concerns, their history and their genetics — and to use that information to build a treatment plan aimed at the underlying cause rather than a single symptom.
Working with Russell means learning more about why you’ve been unwell. Many patients say they come away understanding their own body far better than they did before, and often surprised by how much there was to learn. Russell works to understand the depth of a problem, the different ways it may be affecting you, and then monitors how you respond to natural and alternative treatments over time.
Russell is also qualified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which a number of patients have found helpful.
