Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the world has experienced fear and confusion due to copious amounts of information surrounding transmission, symptoms, etc. making it frustrating to distinguish fact from fiction. In this episode, Laurence Katsaras provides clarity with easy to understand evidence, supported by clinical research to inform you on the latest developments of COVID-19. Laurence will also talk you through natural ingredients, lifestyle interventions and diet tips to support the immune system.
\n\nIn this episode, Laurence is joined by Naturopath, Researcher and host of the Metagenics Clinical Podcast, Nathan Rose to discuss how lifestyle factors, diet, stress and body composition can create genetic programming that’s carried through from the father to their child, impacting the health of the child for its entire life. Learn about how some simple lifestyle interventions, planning and nutritional support on the father’s part, can make a big impact on their child’s life and even future generations.
\n\nLaurence is joined by Naturopath and researcher, Joanne McNeill to discuss how a mother's health throughout pre-conception and pregnancy can greatly affect not only the child's health, but the family’s generational health and wellbeing.
\n\nJoanne and Laurence offer simple lifestyle interventions and what key nutrients mothers, and mothers to be can implement into their daily routine.
\n\n• Laurence and Joanne discuss recent research into inheritance of genetic expression and health.
\n\n• Defining environmental exposure and an example of the causal link between environmental exposure and genetic expression- the Dutch Famine.
\n\n• The critical window for Mothers- 3-4 months prior to conception.
\n\n• Nutritional status- one of the most important factors of a mother's lifestyle to consider during preconception. Let's consider the connection between weight loss, fertility and the health of your child.
\n\n• How to approach metabolic health and body composition with your Practitioner, and the benefits of visiting a Practitioner during preconception. Laurence and Joanne also offer a useful resource to easily track your nutrients during pregnancy.
\n\n• Although looking at nutrition holistically is beneficial, a few key nutrients are worth focussing on throughout pregnancy- Folic Acid, Iron, Folate, B Vitamins, Choline, DHA, Iodine and Vitamin D.
\n\n• The profound impact of supplementation of EPA/DHAs throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, including helping the mother go full term and reducing risk of the child developing atopic conditions such as allergies and eczema.
\n\n• How sufficient Vitamin D intake by the mother can reduce the risk of immune conditions and improve neurodevelopment for the child.
\n\n• The microbiome of the mother and epigenetics of the baby- will taking probiotics during pregnancy effect the baby? Which strains should you be taking?
\n\n• If you're considering renovating your home in preparation for your newborn, consider toxic exposure.
\n\n• How to diversify your child’s microbiome to build his or her immune system –green time, playing with pets, reduce contact with antimicrobials.

Following on from episode 15, Laurence Katsaras and Naturopath, Nick Breen, are back to discuss different lifestyle factors that could be impacting your testosterone levels.
\nTestosterone production naturally decreases with age, however, there are factors that can speed up this process, such as inflammation within the body, nutrient deficiencies, sleep deprivation and poor diet. Testosterone reduction in the body can cause a number of adverse symptoms.
Laurence and Nick run through key nutrients and supplements that will assist in supporting healthy testosterone levels, as well as vital exercises to manage stress and improve your insulin sensitivity. The guys also talk about how exposure to toxins in our environment that we may not be aware of, could be impacting our health and mimicking oestrogen activity.
\n\nThis information is designed to educate and inform – if you suspect that your testosterone levels are low, it’s important that you work alongside a Healthcare Practitioner who can help support your hormonal health.

\n\nLaurence and Nick discuss how and where in the body testosterone is made and regulated, how your body uses it, and the areas of health that testosterone impacts. If testosterone levels become imbalanced, adverse symptoms can occur. Learn about the signs and symptoms that can help identify low testosterone, how testosterone levels drop with age, and discuss the concept of ‘andropause’, which is the drop of testosterone in the ageing male.
\n\nThis information is designed to educate and inform, if you suspect that your testosterone levels are low, it’s important that you work alongside a Healthcare Practitioner who can help support your testosterone alongside your general health.
