Genetic Insights for Fertility: From Nutrigenomics to Epigenetics

Join us for an enlightening episode of "Egg Meets Sperm" featuring the esteemed Jaclyn Downs as we delve into the intricacies of "Genetic Insights for Fertility: From Nutrigenomics to Epigenetics." Jaclyn expertly navigates essential topics crucial for anyone seeking to improve their reproductive health, including the differences between nutrigenomics and genetics, the MTHFR misnomer, the importance of folate vs. folic acid, and other SNPs to assess. She also discusses oxidative stress and inflammation, highlighting lesser-known root causes such as histamine, mold/mycotoxins, oxalates, fatty acid utilization, and detoxification pathways. Jaclyn shares insights from her book, detailing how functional genomics can reveal answers to puzzling fertility challenges and why investing in understanding one's genetic blueprint—focusing on actionable genes rather than true mutations like Tay Sachs or muscular dystrophy—is vital for anyone on a fertility journey. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and empower your reproductive health with expert guidance from Jaclyn Downs.

Jaclyn Downs is a functional nutrigenomics practitioner and author of the academically published book, Enhancing Fertility through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve 'Unexplained' Infertility (Taylor & Francis). She uses functional genomics (which is genes you can actually do something about), a meticulous intake, and functional lab testing to identify and support root causes of puzzling health challenges of all sorts.
