How Your Genes Impact Your Menstrual Cycle w/Christina Sanders

A lot of us might not think about the fact that our genes may be a part of our heavy periods or PMS, or fibroids or cysts.

Or maybe you do, and you are irritated with your parents for the genes they passed down to you!

But in reality, it’s not as simple as what you got from your parents. AND there’s a lot you can do when you understand things like:

• Gene mutations
• How metabolism and detoxification works in the body, and
• Learning how your dietary and lifestyle choices impact those things.

In other words, you have OPTIONS, once you know what is going on.

This is what I’m chatting about with Christina Sanders, a board-certified nurse practitioner and a nutritional therapy practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience.

She and I dive deep into how your genes are impacting your health and hormones.

She breaks down the basics of how these systems work (I learned a TON!), and then we cover specific gene mutations like MTHFR and COMT mutations, which oversees estrogen and dopamine metabolism.

This is fascinating stuff, so buckle up!
