Dr. Lynch lives in Seattle, WA with his wife and three sons.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Dr. Lynch and I discuss how genes can greatly impact children’s health and development. By breaking down how genes work, Dr. Lynch gives examples of environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle factors that contribute to each unique gene's optimal function. By addressing gene function, families can tackle chronic health issues including anxiety, digestion, obesity, autoimmune disorders, and more. It is important to know that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to supporting genetic health. Dr. Lynch encourages parents to expand their knowledge of genetics before investing in genetic testing and a supplement regimen.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where to learn more about Dr. Ben Lynch ...</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight:
