Ok, Folks - this is the most exciting interview that I have ever had! It is everything that I have ever wanted and more when I set out on this journey.
Dr. Randy Jirtle joins the show today to discuss his groundbreaking research that ushered in the era of epigenetics. Time Magazine nominated him for person of the year in 2007 and had this to say about him: “Dr. Jirtle’s pioneering work in epigenetics and genomic imprinting has uncovered a vast territory in which a gene represents less of an inexorable sentence and more of an access point for the environment to modify the genome.

Dr. Paul Smolen, pediatrician, author of two books and 11 year podcast veteran of Practical Portable Pediatrics is the inaugural guest on the Women and Children First podcast for many reasons. He is a mentor, friend and a transition guru for me moving forward in the new medium of podcasting.
