Have you considered how the choices you make today shape the health and destiny of your children before they’re ever born?
What if the most important gift you could ever give your future child is the health and resilience you build in yourself today?

Science shows that the health of our children is determined not just by genetics, but epigenetics. Your health at the time of conception is a snapshot or time capsule that contains the genetic and epigenetic blueprint for your child for the rest of time.
It’s a shocking realization, especially for men: Your lifestyle choices during preconception will forever affect the genetics and health of your children (and their children!).
That means optimizing your health and fitness is not merely an exercise in vanity, but an opportunity to give your future children the best chance at health and success.
After all, the biological definition of fitness is the ability to produce healthy offspring.
Today, we’re exploring how the choices we make today shape not just our own health, but the health of our future children and even generations to come.
