The article published in the European Society of Medicine Vol 13 No 6 (2025): Vol.13, Issue 6, June 2025 explains that the health and well-being of both parents before conception can shape the health of their children—and even future generations—through epigenetic changes. It connects the global obesity crisis and poor nutrition from ultra-processed foods to systemic issues, while highlighting the power of community-led efforts to promote real, nourishing food.
Dr. Myers-Morrison proposes an “Intergenerational Family of Choice” model, where people form supportive, mixed-age networks—similar to recovery groups—to foster connection, resilience, and healthier outcomes across generations.
