<description>Have you considered how &lt;strong&gt;the choices you make today&lt;/strong&gt; shape the health and destiny of your children before they’re ever born?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the most important gift you could ever give your future child is &lt;strong&gt;the health and resilience you build in yourself &lt;/strong&gt;today?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As rates of chronic health conditions in children—including autism, anxiety, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders—continue to rise, it’s time to take &lt;strong&gt;preconception&lt;/strong&gt; seriously.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science shows that the health of our children is determined not just by genetics, but epigenetics. &lt;strong&gt;Your health at the time of conception&lt;/strong&gt; is a snapshot or time capsule that contains the genetic and &lt;strong&gt;epigenetic blueprint for your child for the rest of time&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a shocking realization, &lt;strong&gt;especially for men&lt;/strong&gt;: Your lifestyle choices during preconception will forever affect the genetics and health of your children (and their children!). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means optimizing your health and fitness is not merely an exercise in vanity, but an opportunity to &lt;strong&gt;give your future children the best chance&lt;/strong&gt; at health and success. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, the&lt;strong&gt; biological definition of fitness&lt;/strong&gt; is the ability to produce healthy offspring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we’re exploring how the choices we make today shape not just our own health, but the health of our future children and even generations to come. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m thrilled to be joined by &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Ann Shippy&lt;/strong&gt;, a unicorn in the world of medicine—a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and a former IBM engineer who’s turned her passion for macro-level systems thinking and problem-solving into a mission to revolutionize how we think about health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you care about your health, your family’s future, or just want to understand how to build true resilience in a toxic world, you’re in the right place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this episode, you’ll discover:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The impact of environmental toxins, mold, and gut health on &lt;strong&gt;fertility&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;child development&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;longevity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How Dr. Shippy reversed the effects of &lt;strong&gt;toxic mold exposure&lt;/strong&gt;, including ALS-type symptoms, pain, and fatigue in her own family&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to &lt;strong&gt;give your future children the best chance&lt;/strong&gt; at health and success by optimizing epigenetics at preconception&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;And much more…&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Connect with Dr. Ann Shippy and pre-order her new book:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://annshippymd.com/the-preconception-revolution/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preconception Revolution&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Have you considered how <strong>the choices you make today</strong> shape the health and destiny of your children before they’re ever born?<br /><br />What if the most important gift you could ever give your future child is <strong>the health and resilience you build in yourself </strong>today?<br /><br />As rates of chronic health conditions in children—including autism, anxiety, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders—continue to rise, it’s time to take <strong>preconception</strong> seriously.&nbsp;
