Show Notes
In this episode of The Bean Talk, Riannon and Jeremy get into the genetics of fertility. What your DNA is telling you. Why it matters just as much for him as it does for her. And why understanding your genes gives you a great snapshot of what your fertility journey might look like.
Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your fertility, knowing your genetic picture changes everything.
In this episode, we cover:
* How genetics and fertility connect for both men and women * Egg quality, hormone regulation, ovulation and implantation * Male fertility, sperm DNA fragmentation and genetic causes of low sperm count * What MTHFR is and why it matters for fertility and pregnancy * MTHFR mutation symptoms including methylation, folate absorption and hormones * MTHFR variants and the link to miscarriage causes and nutrient deficiencies * Why one in four people carry MTHFR and most do not know it * Genetic screening and chromosomal abnormalities before trying to conceive * What to investigate for recurrent miscarriage and genetics * IVF preparation and why preconception care comes first * Why your genes are not your destiny and what you can do about it
Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, navigating IVF or wanting to give your future baby the best possible start, this one is for you.

You went to the doctor. Got the blood tests done. Everything came back normal. So why do you still feel awful?
So much attention goes into growing a healthy baby. The appointments, the scans, the supplements, the birth classes. But the moment baby arrives, the focus shifts almost entirely to the newborn while mum is expected to just go back to normal programming.
