So the moment you have sex and make a baby, yes, your baby's DNA is set and is never going to change.
But actually what you do during these nine months of pregnancy, how you eat, your lifestyle, your environment, it's co-creating your baby's epigenetics.
So you're not just an oven.
You're like an active participant in your baby's creation.
So all this came about just because I was pregnant last year and I had my little boy and...
As that was going on, I just dug into the research because I'm a biochemist and that's what I do.
And I discovered such incredibly fascinating pieces of information that are very different to the bun in the oven myth that I had to, I just had to deep dive and write a whole book about it, about how to eat during pregnancy to set up your baby's health for life.
So epigenetics are kind of like these tiny little light switches that sit on your DNA.
So for example, you and I have the same genes for diabetes, for example.
But maybe on my DNA, there's these little switches that have that gene more activated.
And on your DNA, your little switches have that gene a bit more silenced.
And so DNA is not the whole story.
Identical twins have the same DNA, but if they have a different epigenetic makeup, their health is going to be different.
So we used to think that it was all about DNA.
Now we know that like our environment, our nutrition actively calibrates
what's really going on in our body and our health.
And so when I say epigenetics, it's just that.
It's this programming of the switches on your baby's DNA.
And these happen during pregnancy.
And one of the factors is what you eat.
