    Many people using donor conception or surrogacy feel “different” and quietly wonder what family really means when genetics aren't shared in the way they expected. In this episode, I talk about chosen family in the context of donor conception and surrogacy: how to see yourself not as “other,” but as part of a growing, very real type of family. We'll explore: • How the concept of family has changed – and where you fit in • Why grief about not using your or your partner's genetics is natural • How grief about genetics and your bond with your child often get conflated (and why they're different) • How to think about who is in your “inner circle”  • How to decide what to share with close family and friends, and what to keep private • Why doing both the inner work (your own feelings) and the external work (how you talk to others) can help you feel more prepared for the future If you're building your family with donor sperm, donor eggs, embryos, or surrogacy, you are not alone – and you are not less of a family. There are ways to navigate grief, boundaries, and conversations that honor you, your partner, and your child.

    What if everything you thought was broken in your body could be rebuilt?That is the lens through which strength coach and health educator Tom Nikkola lives his entire life. In this episode of Love at First Science, Tom shares the story that shaped his philosophy: being diagnosed with childhood leukemia, undergoing years of invasive treatment and still walking away with optimism, curiosity and a fascination for how the body heals. Tom explains how his early experiences fuelled a lifetime pursuit of understanding the human body, from pre-med studies to corporate roles in nutrition and metabolic testing, and eventually to his coaching platform Vigor Training. We explore the core principle that underpins his work: when you give the body the conditions it needs, it has an astonishing ability to repair, adapt and strengthen.This conversation moves from Tom's personal story into practical science, including:Why a flexible nervous system is one of the most powerful markers of resilienceHow weight training helps you shift between sympathetic and parasympathetic statesThe fundamentals of the MTHFR gene, methylation and why so many people feel unwell without knowing whyWhy diet, stress management and sleep matter more than most people realiseTom breaks down what MTHFR actually is, how it affects detoxification, mood and energy, and which nutritional and lifestyle strategies truly help. He explains why methylated B vitamins are essential for many people, where folate appears in food, and why leafy greens and high protein diets remain foundational. He also shares why overtraining, poor sleep and high stress often exacerbate symptoms. Whether you are navigating your own health challenges, supporting clients or simply curious about how physiology shapes wellbeing, Part One offers grounded, compassionate science with immediately usable insights.Stay tuned for Part Two where we continue the discussion and go deeper into hormones, metabolism, testing, detoxification and Tom's signature philosophy for long term health.About TomTom Nikkola is a seasoned strength and conditioning coach and nutrition strategist with over 23 years of experience in the fitness industry.  After serving as Senior Director of Nutrition and Weight Management at a major fitness company, he left the corporate world to build something of his own.Tom's mission is to cut through health noise and bring sustainable, no-nonsense fitness and wellness solutions to people with busy lives.

    In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Darin dismantles one of the great myths of modern self-help: that transformation is something you're meant to "do alone." Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physiology, and personal experience, he reveals the biological truth — the human nervous system is designed to heal, grow, and stabilize in relationship, not isolation. This conversation explores why loneliness creates physiological damage, why belonging is a survival requirement (not a luxury), and how to intentionally rebuild the village your cells have been waiting for. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "inner work" but still feel disconnected, this episode is the medicine.     What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00:00 - Opening SuperLife intro narration. 00:00:32 - Sponsor: Therasage — family-driven healing technology, infrared and natural frequency support, details on discount. 00:02:11 - Darin begins the episode — "You were never meant to do this alone." 00:02:22 - The forgotten biology of community and why humans are not built for isolation. 00:03:01 - Your nervous system regulates in relationship — the vagus nerve, safety, co-regulation. 00:03:19 - Social engagement system — coherence, cortisol regulation, belonging as biology. 00:04:03 - Social pain = physical pain; the Baumeister research; the architecture of human connection. 00:05:01 - Tribes, proximity, shared life — Dunbar's number and the limits of real human networks. 00:05:30 - Loneliness as physiology — cortisol elevation, inflammation, disrupted sleep, gray-matter changes. 00:07:01 - Personal growth was never meant to be personal — autonomy, competence, relatedness, love. 00:07:55 - If nobody sees you, your nervous system can't relax — mirrors vs willpower. 00:08:31 - Social contagion of behavior — your network shapes your health. 00:09:01 - Who are you wired into? Environment as epigenetic instruction. 00:10:12 - Why online spaces generate stress instead of transformation. 00:10:35 - Darin's vision: community as a practice, not performance. 00:11:29 - Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste — plastic waste, sustainability, clean ingredients, discount code. 00:13:11 - What if growth wasn't a grind? What if healing was tribal again? 00:13:35 - Building intentional space — not fandom, not following, but practice. 00:14:11 - Supporting the nervous system through community; truth over scrolling. 00:15:04 - Why Patreon — structure, privacy, belonging, circle not feed. 00:15:23 - People looking for truth, depth, real connection — not performance. 00:15:51 - Start building your circle; align with those who align with you. 00:16:12 - You need to be seen, not fixed — community as transformation. 00:17:00 - One person can change your life — the power of being mirrored. 00:17:31 - Men's group, friendships, working out — the daily relational fabric. 00:18:01 - If you're lonely or disconnected, the desire for connection already shifts your biology. 00:18:41 - Darin reflects on a hard year, pain, stem cells, and the deeper healing found in being witnessed. 00:19:26 - Every cell responds when you say yes to deeper connection — the universe moves with it. 00:20:07 - Understanding human biology: we want love, connection, safety, belonging. 00:20:36 - Cutting through "what do you eat" questions — the real priority is connection. 00:21:00 - Closing: "Joy and happiness.

    This episode brings together the science, the medicine, and the lived experience behind BRCA mutations.  Emily Goldberg, JScreen's Director of Genetic Counseling Services, breaks down what these mutations are, how they're inherited, and what the actual cancer risks look like. Dr. Melissa Frey, a GYN oncologist at Cornell who works closely with high-risk families, walks us through what happens after someone tests positive — from screening to risk-reducing surgeries to the big conversations around fertility and timing. We also hear from Heather Boussi, who shares her powerful story of living with both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. She talks about diagnosis, surveillance, surgeries, and how this all shaped her family-building decisions.

    New trending diet? Crashing down your calorie levels? What does the ideal diet even look like?In this episode, Justin is joined by Ben Brown, founder of Body Systems — a program designed to boost your energy and support a healthy weight by helping you discover your unique body system blueprint. Ben once had extreme fatigue and an immune crash. He knew something was wrong, but chalked it up to having a new baby, working very early mornings and long days, as well as pursuing a second Master's degree on the weekends. He began questioning conventional fitness and nutrition advice, started listening to his body, and was able to overcome common immune-suppressing habits. He's on a mission to help men and women become the CEO of their health by building a body, a mindset, and a personal operating system using a science-based methodology.Justin and Ben tackle how diets work and fail based on their real-life experiences, and as well as stories from how they coach their clients. They discuss what the best way is to navigate through figuring out the right health choices which includes proper lifestyle, diet, nutrition, and rest - and balancing all of them as we live our daily lives.Here are the highlights of this episode:01:56 Ben's Wounded Healer Story08:06 Navigating Through Health Choices15:53 Keeping People in Check28:19 Recovery and Restoring Adrenal Capacity31:33 The Baseline35:38 Go-To's for Muscle Building41:29 Supplementation50:25 Switching Your MindsetIf you wish to learn more from Ben Brown and Body Systems, you may do so through the following channels:Website: www.bodysystems.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/YouTube: @bodysystemscoachingFacebook: @bodysystemsnutrition______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

    There is something incredibly liberating that happens when you realize your genes are not a life sentence. We have all been told that if a gene runs in your family, you're destined to live out the same story. Celiac. MTHFR. Hashimoto's. Breast cancer genes. We're taught to brace ourselves instead of learning how to influence the environment those genes live in. When the gut is overwhelmed, the immune system stays in a reactive state, and in that environment certain genes become more expressive than they would in a balanced body. And as the gut heals and the immune system steadies, those expressions often soften again.When we move through life in the energy of fearing our bodies, or resenting the parts of us that feel complicated or confusing, it creates a disconnect. Not just within us, but within our children. They feel it. They feel the way we brace around certain symptoms. They feel the heaviness we carry when we believe something is wrong with us, or wrong with them. Our energy teaches them what to believe about their own bodies, the world around them, and what is possible or impossible.If your child has a gene variant that society labels as undesirable, the most healing thing you can offer them is not fear. It's acceptance. It's steadiness. It's the belief that their body is not broken. Because when you hold that belief, they learn to hold it too.Your body is not something you need to fear. Your child's body is not something to fix. Every single part of you was designed on purpose. Every one of your gene variants is a page in your story. And when certain genes express, it is an invitation. It is your body communicating with you and bringing you back into alignment so you can show up in your life as the best version of you.. It is your body asking you to come closer, not pull away.When you view your body through this lens, everything shifts. You stop battling yourself. You stop bracing for what might happen. You begin partnering with your body instead of fearing it. And this is where your deepest power lives. In relationship. In understanding. In the environment you create on the inside.Your genes respond to you. They respond to the way you live, the way you nourish yourself, the way you support your gut and your nervous system, the way you speak to yourself, the way you choose to show up every day. And the more safety and nourishment you bring into your life, the more your genes settle into the expression that serves you.This is the freedom of gene expression. This is the empowerment that no lab report can ever take away from you. Thanks for listening!

    In today's episode, I'm opening up about something I've never fully shared before — my own thyroid journey. Even as a practitioner, I'm not immune to the hormonal shifts, viral triggers, and autoimmune quirks that so many midlife women face. My goal with this episode is to pull back the curtain, remove the shame, and give you a deeper understanding of what can really drive thyroid issues in perimenopause and menopause. I walk you through the symptoms I experienced, what my lab work revealed, how my antibodies suddenly spiked, and the surprising reason why (hint: it wasn't gluten or leaky gut). I also share how I'm supporting my thyroid now, including why I chose Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and how modern medicine + holistic strategies can work beautifully together. Whether you've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's, you suspect thyroid changes, or you've simply "never felt the same" since getting sick — this episode will give you clarity, validation, and a roadmap for next steps. In This Episode, We Cover: 1. Practitioners Aren't Superhuman (and Why I'm Sharing My Story)  2. My Personal Symptoms  3. The Rollercoaster of Thyroid Health  4. What Actually Triggered My Antibodies  5. How I'm Addressing Thyroid Autoimmunity  6. Hashimoto's vs. Hypothyroidism – Clearing Up the Confusion  7.

    David Gokhman of the Weizmann Institute of Science explores how changes in gene regulation shaped recent human evolution. His team used massively parallel reporter assays in skeletal and neural cells to test 71,443 genetic variants that distinguish Neanderthals and Denisovans from modern humans, building a catalog that reveals hundreds of noncoding variants that alter gene expression. The work uncovers evolutionary trends and examples of convergent evolution, including an enhancer of KDM8, a gene involved in tumor progression, that was completely silenced in both archaic and modern human lineages through different mechanisms: motif disruption in Neanderthals and Denisovans, and hypermethylation in modern humans. Gokhman also introduces a way to reconstruct anatomical profiles from DNA sequence and methylation, using it to model Denisovan anatomy and scan the fossil record. The results suggest that the Harbin and Dali fossils were likely Denisovans, while Kabwe may have been related to the ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans, helping to clarify the regulatory changes underlying human evolution.

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD breaks down the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, reframing them not as magic weight-loss shots but as hormone replacement therapies that reveal how dysfunctional most people's "weight-health hormones" have become. Ashley shares how digestion, nutrient status, genetics, and modern environmental pressures diminish the body's natural ability to regulate appetite, cravings, metabolism, and fat distribution — and why GLP-1 drugs can offer clarity but not a cure unless the underlying issues are addressed. She dives into muscle preservation, the limitations of BMI, the importance of fat-mass vs. scale weight, the root-cause approach to sustainable weight health, and what the future of GLP-1s means for generational wellness. This is a powerful conversation that blends science, personal insight, and actionable strategies to improve metabolic health — with or without medication.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what coccidia actually is, how it functions inside the gut, which strains are the most dangerous, and why stress and environment play such a big role in outbreaks. I'm also sharing the major shifts we made in genetics, kidding season, and management that completely changed our coccidia situation. After years of losing show goats to coccidiosis, we haven't had a single case in our main herd in three years—and I'll walk you through exactly why. And I'll touch on some natural, tannin-based supplements that some producers use to support gut health in herds that battle chronic coccidiosis pressure. We're incorporating one into our mineral mix right now, mainly for our show-goat breeders, and I'll share updates as we see results. Finally, if you think a kid might be dealing with coccidiosis, I explain why getting your vet involved quickly makes all the difference. In This Episode, I Cover: What coccidia is and how it functions in the intestinal lining How infection spreads and why kids are most vulnerable The strains of coccidia that cause the most damage The genetic component: why some goats struggle more than others How stress, moisture, overcrowding, and management influence outbreaks Our real-world experience with coccidiosis in show goats How shifting genetics and kidding season broke our coccidia cycle Why chickens donot give goats coccidia Natural tannin-based supplements some producers use for gut support When it's time to call your vet and why timing matters Key Takeaways: Coccidia are microscopic protozoa that damage the gut by destroying intestinal cells. The most pathogenic strains includeEimeria ninakohlyakimovae, arloingi, and  Stress + moisture + high oocyst load = ideal conditions for coccidiosis. Genetics and kidding-season timing have a huge impact on resilience. Chickens cannot give goats coccidia—the strains are species specific. Tannin-based supplements may support gut health in high-pressure herds. Bottle kids remain more vulnerable due to stress and barn exposure. Good management prevents most cases—but if you suspect coccidiosis, contacting your vet early is critical. Mentions: 86 | Can Goats and Chickens Live Together?

    This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor answer listener questions about BMI cutoffs, weight cycling, metabolic adaptation, trauma, GLP-1 differences, and why some people gain weight on ultra-low calories. Dr. Cooper explains what's really happening inside the metabolic system and why individualized treatment—not dieting—creates sustainable change.Key Questions AnsweredIf my BMI doesn't “qualify” for GLP-1s, is Naltrexone + Bupropion helpful—and what labs matter first?Does being overweight always indicate metabolic dysfunction, and why are U.S. rates so high?If diets damage metabolism, what do you do when you're already 80 pounds overweight?How long does it take for leptin and ghrelin to stabilize with mechanical eating?How can someone gain weight on 1,200 calories/day?After sleeve gastrectomy, how do you eat enough while on a GLP-1?Is set point theory real—and how does the melanocortin pathway influence it?If obesity runs in my family, will I need meds like Zepbound for life?How do trauma and stress alter long-term metabolic health?Can GLP-1s offset weight gain from steroids, mood meds, or hormones?Why might Ozempic work well while Mounjaro causes weight gain?Key Takeaways1. BMI rules don't reflect metabolic truth.A mid-20s BMI can still mask significant dysfunction, especially with weight cycling.2. Weight cycling is metabolically stressful.Repeated losses/regains increase visceral fat, insulin abnormalities, and cardiovascular risk.3. Obesity is a multi-hormonal disease.Most people need pharmacology plus sleep, fueling, and movement—not restrictive dieting.4. Metabolic adaptation is powerful.Under-fueling lowers thyroid output, suppresses fat-burning, and slows metabolism dramatically.5. After bariatric surgery or on GLP-1s, frequency matters.Frequent, nutrient-dense snacks protect muscle, metabolism, and energy.6. Set point changes with better signaling.GLP-1s and related therapies help the brain accurately detect weight and lower the defended level.7. Genetics often mean lifelong support.Family patterns of obesity usually indicate long-term need for metabolic medication.8. Trauma amplifies metabolic risk.Childhood trauma disrupts IGF-1, sleep, stress hormones, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin.9. Medications can cause weight gain—GLP-1s can help counteract it.Steroids, mood meds, hormonal agents, and more can be metabolically unfriendly.10. “Newer” isn't always better.Some people respond poorly to the GIP component in Mounjaro/Zepbound. Individual physiology rules.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsRequest deeper evaluation: DEXA, visceral fat, fasting insulin/glucose, leptin, reproductive hormones.Stop restrictive dieting permanently—mechanical eating protects metabolic stability.Work with a fueling-focused dietitian (often ED-trained).Review your medication list for drugs known to cause weight gain.Don't switch GLP-1s or chase higher doses if your current regimen works.Notable Quote“Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a metabolic disease, and when the underlying system is supported, the body finally has permission to change.” — Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

    Can a COVID-19 infection flip a hidden switch in your immune system—triggering arthritis or other autoimmune conditions? Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains what she's seeing in clinic, the science behind post-infection immune shifts, and why treatment and vaccination choices must be tailored to you.What You'll Learn:From infection to inflammation: Real cases of new-onset inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid, psoriatic) and PMR emerging soon after COVID-19—and how clinicians decide if it's causation or coincidence.The “two-hit” model: Genetics and risk factors (family history, smoking, stress, adiposity) can lie dormant until an infection like COVID-19 triggers overt autoimmunity.Immune overdrive & treatment overlap: Why severe COVID-19 sometimes responds to steroid/IL-6/TNF-blocking therapies—tools also used for autoimmune disease—plus what that tells us about shared pathways.Treat what's in front of you: If your labs/exam meet criteria for RA/PMR/vasculitis/lupus, treat per standard rheumatology care—regardless of whether COVID was the spark.Post-COVID (long COVID) nuance: Dysautonomia, fatigue, exercise intolerance often require team-based care (coaching, nutrition, PT, psychotherapy) to rebalance sympathetic/parasympathetic systems.Vaccination decisions: Not one-size-fits-all. Context matters—prior reactions, exposure risk, location, and current therapies (e.g., IVIG may already provide community antibodies)—so decide with your rheumatologist.Science evolves, partnership endures: Cutting through misinformation with clear, individualized education and a strong patient-physician relationship.What's next: Details on Dr. Amigues' upcoming holistic inflammation webinar and group coaching designed to speed remission and build resilience.If an infection can nudge a predisposed immune system into autoimmunity, which lever will you pull this week to lower baseline inflammation—sleep, stress care, movement, nutrition, or community support?

    Dr. Jason Vassy, is a primary care physician at the VA Boston Healthcare System. He leads the Genomes to Veterans Research Program, which focuses on bringing genomic tools into everyday Veteran care. His goal is help VA use genetic information in order to improve Veterans health, he emphasizes, “How can we use a Veteran's genetic makeup to help improve their healthcare?” he clarifies that while not all conditions require genetic testing, “in the areas where we know doctors should be using genetic testing… how do we make it easier for them?” This work shows how VA is staying ahead when it comes to health and technology.In Dr. Vassy's VA study on pharmacogenetics for depression, he found that Veterans who received DNA-guided medication choices fared better, stating, “Patients that got that kind of testing were more likely to have a medication that was a better match for their DNA and had lower rates of depressive symptoms.” His team also used data from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) to identify Veterans with a genetic form of extremely high cholesterol, noting, “We reached back out… and got them connected to clinical genetic testing, increased surveillance, and treatment.” These actions helped Veterans and their families reduce their risk of early heart disease.In addition, Vassy leads the nationwide PROGRESS Study, which uses genetic risk to guide prostate cancer screening for men ages 55 to 70. Vetertans can enroll online and submit a saliva kit from home. “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men,” Vassy said, and genetic guidance may allow VA to detect dangerous cancers earlier while reducing harm from over-screening. He also stresses that VA protects genetic information with the strictest safeguards: “These data are password-protected, encrypted… only people with a right to access it can do so.”Looking ahead, Vassy believes genomic medicine will increasingly shape preventive care as technology advances and costs fall. He encourages Veterans to start by knowing their family history and talking with their providers about potential genetic risks, noting, “Genetics is just another tool in the toolbox for how to manage a concern you bring to your provider.” Veterans can explore opportunities to participate in ongoing research and learn more about genomic testing throughout VA's national programs.Resourceshttps://www.genomes2people.org/research/genomes2veterans/https://www.research.va.gov/mvp/https://www.progress-study.org/https://www.va.gov/washington-dc-health-care/programs/pharmacogenomics/https://www.va.gov/southern-nevada-health-care/stories/pharmacogenomics-and-how-the-va-is-improving-the-efficacy-of-medicine-through-dna/ https://www.research.va.gov/services/amp/precision_oncology.cfm
