Have you experienced a miscarriage or multiple miscarriages? If you, or someone you know, is struggling with this, this episode is for you.  The amount of actionable information in this podcast is, frankly, almost impossible to find on the internet or in doctor offices. This is years of research, experience, pain, and ultimately, total joy, all in 90 minutes. Miscarriages are common. How common? They occur in 15-20% of all pregnancies, typically in the first trimester. After the first miscarriage, the risk of having another is about 20%. After three or more consecutive miscarriages, the risk increases to 43%. This is known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).  Join me today as I interview nutritionist Kinsey Jackson. You'll learn how she overcame a recurrent loss to bring her rainbow baby into the world. She shares her story, knowledge, and compassion with you in an episode of the Dirty Genes Podcast. You do not want to miss this. Special Bonus >>> Kinsey put together a resource guide for those struggling with recurrent pregnancy loss.

If you're human, you're getting too much folic acid. Yes, it is that simple. Shame on me for giving the conclusion before you even tuned into my latest episode on the Dirty Genes Podcast. Yes, I'm not a marketing genius. I'm a research nerd that is here guiding you towards optimal health. Folic acid is a road block to your health. Folic acid flat out dirties your genes. Which ones? Hmmm. Now that I won't reveal right away. Listen. Many people think that if they don't have the MTHFR polymorphism they can comfortably use folic acid. That is so wrong. There are other folate genes that get seriously messed up from folic acid. How easy is it to mess up your folate genes with folic acid? Tune into the Dirty Genes Podcast and find out. Hey, I guess I'm becoming a better marketing guy after all. Seriously though, if you're getting folic acid, it's time to stop. If you're trying to convince others to stop using folic acid but struggling to convince them, here's more ammo for you. You're a good friend for trying to help them. You gotta put your own oxygen mask on first, though. Do that by learning more. This episode will help you understand the WHY.

Putting up with chronic irritating symptoms is, well, irritating. It's tiring. Headaches, stuffy nose, moods shifting, focus failing, staring at the ceiling vs falling asleep. You hear your friends say, "You're so sensitive." or "Why are you so irritable all the time?" or "Come on! Smile already. You're such a grump all the time!" If they only knew that you wish you could step out of your funk. You can step out of your funk. The way you do that is looking at how you are wired. You can only see the outside of your body. Your hair, skin, nails, muscles, tummy. And you focus on these. What if you can actually look inside you and see why you are potentially more sensitive to being irritated? Why you are more susceptible to being gloomy. Why you seem to not be able to focus your entire life. Once you discover this, then you have the ability to improve it. It's not that you discover why you are struggling with these issues and leave it at that. No. You will have the ability and the tools to become the person you always wanted to be. Focused. Happy. More tolerant. Sleeping well. I've got something for you that will help- check out today's episode.   Curious about how you are wired? Order StrateGene today!
