Since 2007, researchers have known that a gene called FTO was related to obesity. What they didn’t know, was how the fat gene was linked to obesity.. Do you have the fat gene? Keep reading… So, researchers couldn’t tie the FTO gene or...Read more  ➜

Epigenetics Epigenetics is the study of changes in organisms. These changes are caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. What does this mean exactly? The epigenome dynamically responds to the environment. Stress, diet, behavior, toxins, and other factors regulate gene expression. As an organism grows and develops, carefully orchestrated chemical reactions activate and deactivate parts of the genome. this occurs at strategic times and in...Read more  ➜

Gut Microbiome and Fertility Recap then gut microbiome and fertility. The human microbiome consists of the microbes living on and within our human bodies. Most of these bugs inhabit our large intestine. There, a few pounds’ worth of bacteria, yeasts, archaea and even viruses. These help digest food, calibrate our metabolic and immune function and hold off would-be invaders. There’s growing evidence that the pathogenic effects of bacterial vaginosis may not be...Read more  ➜

What is the Microbiome? WHAT’S THE MICROBIOME? Our microbiome is the community of trillions of bacteria that live within us, outnumbering our own cells by 10 to 1. This newly discovered world plays a dramatic role in our health and is transforming our very understanding of modern medicine. Indeed, the Mayo clinic has recently said that understanding the microbiome is: “…as important in the practice of modern medicine as germ theory or...Read more  ➜

SIBO and IBS IBS and SIBO can be confused. However, there is no denying the existence of SIBO by the medical community. Here’s how to fix SIBO after we confirm the tiredness and the bloating is causing it. To know what is SIBO is to know who’s likely to have it. When we have IBS the nerve endings in our gut are always firing. This creates a condition of visceral hypersensitivity, so our gut is more sensitive than...Read more  ➜
