“Your love lives on through your kids.”
— Allison Villa
If you’re a regular listener of this podcast, I know that you prioritize your romantic relationship. But what you may not know is that love really IS eternal. (Or, at least, a lot more long-lasting than you may have thought).
This bite-sized episode explores the science and research that has shown that the love that you and your partner share lives on through your kids. Potentially, the love that you show one another and the love that you show your children today will echo on throughout many future generations.
And this is true on a physical level.
Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviours and environment may actually affect the way that your genes work, through changing the way that your body reads your genes — and part of that research has centred on how these changes can be passed down to your children... and even your grandchildren!
And the way that you and your partner demonstrate love? That’s definitely a piece of the puzzle.
In this episode of Couplehood, you’ll discover:
✔ The concept of epigenetics and what it means in the context of passing on your love
✔ The six lifestyle factors that can affect the way that your body reads your genes
✔ The Parents in Love movement — and why so many people are choosing to join
“How you are loved as a child changes your DNA.”
— Allison Villa
Highlights:
00:24 Introduction.
01:45 Science of epigenetics.
02:21 Cancer gene example.
03:06 Lifestyle factors, epigenetics, and love.
04:11 Cherry blossom and mice experiment.
04:42 Nutrition, exercise, and love.
05:39 The Parents in Love movement.
