Episode 74: How Genes Impact Children’s Health and Development

My guest this week is Dr. Ben Lynch, the best-selling author of Dirty Genes and a leader in the field of nutrigenomics. Dr. Lynch is president of Seeking Health, an innovative company providing supplements, courses, and tools designed to help people overcome genetic dysfunction and optimize health. After earning his Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Washington, Dr. Lynch obtained a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University where he now serves on the Board of Trustees. Dr. Lynch lives in Seattle, WA with his wife and three sons.   In this episode, Dr. Lynch and I discuss how genes can greatly impact children’s health and development. By breaking down how genes work, Dr. Lynch gives examples of environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle factors that contribute to each unique gene's optimal function. By addressing gene function, families can tackle chronic health issues including anxiety, digestion, obesity, autoimmune disorders, and more. It is important to know that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to supporting genetic health. Dr. Lynch encourages parents to expand their knowledge of genetics before investing in genetic testing and a supplement regimen.   Where to learn more about Dr. Ben Lynch ... drbenlynch.com Dirty Genes Book Facebook Twitter Instagram   Connect with Dr. Nicole Beurkens on...
