For a long time, it was accepted that really the only thing that determined the health of our kids was their genetics. The Gene Theory 🧬 basically stated that humans are “coded” for either health or various forms of illness and disease… and that there isn’t much you can do about it. 

Thankfully 🙏🏼, once that theory was actually researched and studied, it proved to not be true. We learned that our environment and lifestyle 🏃‍♂️have a lot more to do with the health outcomes of our children than their genetic code, through a concept called epigenetics. 

As parents, having an understanding of how this works can honestly be both exciting and scary! It’s exciting because it means that traditional medicine 👩‍⚕️ was way off base and for the most part, our children’s health is not just left to random chance and good or back luck. But it’s also a bit scary because it truly means we have more control and say in the outcome than we once thought! 😳 

But have no fear mom and dad, our Raising Heal...
