Folate helps cells replicate properly and transfer Folate helps cells replicate properly and transfers important epigenetic information from mother to child, which makes it a critical nutrient for babies' very early development, in the days and weeks following conception. Often in the time before you even know you’re pregnant. Good food sources of folate include dark leafy greens, legumes, eggs, liver, and sunflower seeds. And we also recommend that you take a supplement that includes your RDA for folate (400-600 mcg) if you are thinking of becoming pregnant or if there is a possibility you might become pregnant. Thanks for highlighting this, @romillyhodges!

Eating more methylation adaptogens and methyl donors isn’t hard. They’re everywhere if you know what to look for. To that end here’s a short list of some of my favorite Methylation Diet and Lifestyle approved vegetables.

I wanted to share another simple recipe that we ar I wanted to share another simple recipe that we are all enjoying at the Sandy Hook Clinic this week: Chia & Flax Pudding. This recipe is anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidants, and a rich source of fiber. Even better, it's delicious enough to be your kid's dessert and healthy enough to be your breakfast. Thank you to our C.O.O. @karenaboutnutriton for sharing!

This is exciting and not surprising. "Evidence fro This is exciting and not surprising. "Evidence from both experimental and clinical research has uncovered a protective role for ketones in cardiovascular disease. Although ketones may provide supplemental fuel for the energy-starved heart, their cardiovascular effects appear to extend far beyond cardiac energetics."
