She's So Lucky

Ending Generational Trauma with Epigenetics + Preparing to Conceive with Dr. Cleopatra

Listen Later

Is epigenetics the key to ending generational trauma? In this episode, guest Dr. Cleopatra shares why we have more power than we realize to change how our genes work, and which genes we can pass on to future generations.

Though we can’t change our DNA, we can change how our genes are expressed through epigenetics, the understanding of how our behaviors and environment impact our genes. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that is equal parts inspiring and informative.

Dr. Cleopatra is a scientist and tenured USC professor who pioneered the field of fertility biohacking and creating superbabies. To date, Dr. Cleopatra has scientifically studied tens of thousands of families and has helped birthing persons in 23 countries on 6 continents have their superbabies.

We also talk about…

  • Improving maternal health outcomes for marginalized people.
  • Understanding the mental, emotional, and social factors that can impact our fertility.
  • How to prepare for pregnancy physically and psychologically.
  • The Primester Protocol and creating our superbabies.
  • How we can prevent generational trauma from being passed down.
