Your Diet Programs Your Baby
Science shows that what you eat during pregnancy may influence how your baby’s genes behave for the rest of their life. How crazy is that.
Scientists call this epigenetics. Think of it like dimmer switches sitting on top of your DNA. These switches can turn certain genes on or off depending on the environment in the womb.
Nutrients, stress, sleep, and metabolic health all send messages about what kind of world the baby should prepare for.
This is powerful because it shows that parents may have influence long before birth. Small daily choices may help build a stronger foundation for brain development, metabolism, and lifelong health.
This is why I wrote a book all about pregnancy nutrition. It's called 9 Months That Count Forever and contains all the science and easy practical tips I used during my own pregnancy.
