#118 How Genetics & Epigenetics Affect Hormone Health with Emma Beswick

EMMA BESWICK 
Emma Beswick is a nutritional therapist and founder of Lifecode Gx®, the leading nutrigenomics testing, analysis and training provider. She is passionate about the power of nutrigenomics to enable personalisation of nutrition and lifestyle to empower individuals to optimise their health. Emma’s focus is on identifying and understanding common genetic variants that can be adjusted, compensated or exploited through diet and lifestyle. Although we can’t change our genetic code, we can change their (our) environment, to benefit our physical, mental and spiritual health. 
Emma is a member of the International Society of Nutrigenetics/ Nutrigenomics (ISSN), Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) and a regular speaker, presenter and participant at conferences on nutrition, genomics, genetics and epigenetics. She is also the author and presenter of Lifecode Gx’s popular Nutrigenomics In Practice training programme.

Definitions of the terms genetics, epigenetic, homo vs hetrozygous and ‘SNP’
Factors that can affect genetics positively/negatively
Pros and cons of genetic testing & mutations/SNPs
Common SNPs in relation to fertility/hormone health including MTHFR, COMT, SULT, VDR & CYP
