Summary

What if understanding one gene could significantly change your approach to fertility and pregnancy? Join us as we catch up with Dr. Ben Lynch, a pioneer in the field of epigenetics and naturopathic medicine, who sheds light on the powerful MTHFR gene and its wide-ranging implications.

Dr. Lynch takes us on a journey from his traditional medical roots to his breakthrough work with genetic variations and their impact on health. Learn how these variations influence fertility, pregnancy, and even conditions like ADHD and diabetes starting in the womb. We also tackle the critical yet often misunderstood topic of miscarriages, emphasizing the role of male fertility and the importance of lifestyle choices to optimize pregnancy health.
