EF#23: Influence of Genetics on Endo and Fertility with Angela Heap

My guest today is Angela Heap, a leading fertility nutritionist and expert in the UK. Angela and I discuss genetics, fertility and Endometriosis. It was a real education into the 'hardware and software' of our bodies, a Angela describes it! We discussed how our surrounding environment and exposure to toxins can change our genetics, or trigger various conditions and diseases, including Endometriosis. Angela discusses this subject in "plain English" so we can all understand the potential genetic issues associated with fertility.

In this episode I talk about:

  • What we mean by genetics and epigenetics
  • What a 'SNPs (copying error)' is and how these are caused
  • How our genes are turned on and off by the environment around us
  • How our genes can influence our fertility
  • MTFHR gene, folate and folic acid
  • Miscarriage and the part that genetics play and can inform us
  • How genetics and SNPs play a part in PCOS and Endometriosis
  • The importance of brassicas and leafy greens for liver detoxification
  • The COMT gene and liver detoxification
  • How to improve egg quality and fertility
  • Importance of fibre for the microbiome
  • Why you should test for your genetics when working with a practitioner
