Parents are asking me "what's wrong with my child?"

Not a simple question to answer but let's rephrase and ask "what's wrong with the world my child is growing up in?"

During the past 20+ years in clinical practice I have noticed a significant increase in children being more reactive, more overwhelmed, and more sensitive.

Healthy bones or osteoporosis? Can we influence these and choose our outcomes? Yes, indeed.

Further, mothers can influence the health of their growing baby's bones while in utero.

All of your baby is formed in the uterus. Obviously, you say. But how many people think about bones and teeth - for the child's entire life?

Ever heard someone say their child has “weak enamel”?

Chronic disease is no longer something your child might face only in adulthood. Conditions like obesity, Type 2 diabetes, asthma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression are now appearing earlier and affecting more children than ever.1 For instance, nearly one in five U.S. children and adolescents is obese,2 more than one in 10 has ADHD,3 and recent surveys show close to one in seven teenagers reports symptoms of mental disorder.4

This surge is closely tied to the diet and lifestyle environment shaping the younger generation.

I'll be taking a break over the Christmas-New Year period but invite you to visit my sites where you can read over 100 blogs relating to fertility and how to have a healthy baby.

If you haven't already, perhaps it is time to get a copy of my book available from Amazon stores worldwide.

Having trouble conceiving? Is everyone talking to the woman about her "problems"? This is mostly the case. But what about the man?

Men are all too often forgotten in fertility discussions when pregnancy either does not happen or does not go ahead as it should.

Despite prevalent perceptions, infertility, or the inability to conceive after one year of frequent, unprotected sexual activity, is a problem that affects everyone. It is crucial to highlight that male infertility has a role in 40-50% of all couples who are having difficulty conceiving, despite the fact that there are numerous reasons concerning the female reproductive system that might cause pregnancy problems.

I did some research on this.

Although it is true for African American women, it is not a blanket statement for all women.

I did find some interesting research documents.

Basically, stop using anything chemical on your hair.

For decades, paternal (male) factors were an afterthought in fertility investigations. But new evidence is clear:

Male health, s***m integrity, metabolic status, microbiome balance, and even specific antioxidant genes can profoundly influence embryo viability, miscarriage risk, placental development, and long-term offspring outcomes.

There are several blogs on my author site explaining just how important preparing for conception is for men, not only for the woman. Let's get the word out. Guys - just because everything is "working" in the bedroom, doesn't mean your swimmers are healthy and capable of producing a healthy child.

Ever wondered why you are just feeling "off"? You've seen the GP, had bloods done and are told everything is fine.

Could it be environmental toxins that are affecting your hormones, energy levels, liver, and more?

Many women I speak with share a similar experience: they feel “off” hormonally but can’t quite pinpoint why. Maybe cycles feel different, moods fluctuate more easily, or energy rises and falls in unfamiliar ways. We ofte...

Making our children healthy again

Chronic disease is no longer something your child might face only in adulthood. Conditions like obesity, Type 2 diabetes, asthma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression are now appearing earlier and affecting more children than ever.1 For instance, nearly one in five U.S. children and adolescents is obese,2 more than one in 10 has ADHD,3 and recent surveys show close to one in seven teenagers reports symptoms of mental disorder.4

This surge is closely tied to the diet and lifestyle environment shaping the younger generation.

The above is a major goal of writing my book 'How to Have a Healthy Baby'.

Knowing and understanding your unique DNA and epigenetic changes can have life-long consequences for your ability to conceive easily, have a healthy pregnancy, and the health outcomes of your baby.

It seems that the MTHFR discussions have resurfaced on social media and in methylation groups.

While epigenetic changes to this gene can affect methylation due to lowered folate activation, it is only one of many genes that regulate methylation.

MTHFD1 is another folate gene but because it is a trifunctional enzyme that drives three critical reactions in related to folate cycle, it can affect:

* Placental development and embryo viability

* Methylation and homocysteine remethylation

* DNA repair, nucleotide synthesis, and genomic stability

* Purine production and cell proliferation

* NADPH generation and redox balance

And when the key polymorphisms are present — especially rs2236225 (R653Q) — the clinical effects can be surprisingly far-reaching.

People with MTHFD1 variants may experience fatigue, poor methylation tolerance, recurrent miscarriage, placental complications, folate sensitivity, high homocysteine, megaloblastic features, or slow recovery from oxidative stress.

In my book I explain the importance of methylation. Since publication, I can now also recommend 3x4 Genetics.
