NOURISH, RESTORE, CONCEIVE : SCIENCE-BACKED PRECONCEPTION STRATEGIES WITH GUEST JACLYN DOWNS

Do your genes hold the missing piece to your fertility journey?

In this eye-opening episode of The Pregnancy Process Podcast, functional nutrigenomics expert and Author Jaclyn Downs joins us to explore how your unique genetic blueprint can reveal answers when “doing all the right things” still hasn’t led to pregnancy.

Jaclyn explains how functional genomics goes far beyond standard genetic testing, offering a deeply personalised approach to uncovering the root causes of unexplained infertility, hormone imbalances, and recurrent loss.

We dive deep into the science of MTHFR and DHFR, unraveling the truth about folate metabolism and why the right form of folate matters for fertility.

Jaclyn also shares how toxic exposures-from mould and mycotoxins to radon and everyday chemicals-can quietly undermine your reproductive health, and why addressing these hidden factors is crucial.

You’ll learn how nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and chronic infections can create obstacles on your path to parenthood, and what practical steps you can take to overcome them.

Throughout our conversation, Jaclyn emphasises the importance of preconception care and explains how functional genomics can help you optimise your health before pregnancy, giving your future child the best possible start.

Whether you’re just beginning to think about having a baby, have faced heartbreak and frustration, or want to ensure your baby’s healthiest foundation, this episode is packed with science, clarity, and practical advice.

Tune in to discover how understanding your genes can help you finally move forward on your fertility journey-and why knowledge truly is power.
