E-book Category: Parenting E-book Title: Born Smart Author: Jeanette Bolvary Book Description: Hi, my name is Jeanette Bolvary and I would like to share my story with you. At the age of 35, after one miscarriage and another year of struggling to conceive, I finally fell pregnant with my son.
At 27 weeks, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I searched for every bit of information I could find on the topic and discovered that gestational diabetes can, not only cause serious complications for mom and baby, but is also linked to low IQ and speech problems in children.
I was shocked and upset, but counted myself lucky to be pregnant and decided to do everything in my power to protect my baby. It did not matter that my baby would not be the smartest kid on the block, I was desperate to have a baby.
My pregnancy continued without any further complications and my son was born a very average 7.8 pounds.
Can you begin to imagine my astonishment when this baby started doing incredible things for his age. Instead of slowed development he developed much faster than babies born to mothers that had normal uncomplicated pregnancies!
Why? I had to ask the question. Why would a mother with a condition like gestational diabetes, known to be responsible for lower IQ and speech problems in children, have a child that walks around the house at 9 months like he's been doing it for years. Does not stop talking all day until he shuts his eyes at night, and I am not referring to senseless babble. Clear speech, large vocabulary and complicated words like "dangerous" (at the age of 19 months!).
I needed to know and began my research. What I found was astounding, scientists already have the answers! Several discoveries in genetic studies pointed to many of the crucial things I did during my pregnancy, explaining how these actions I took can influence brain development. That was the day I started writing my book.
If you are the type of person that wants your child to be intelligent, healthy, happy and successful in life, let me show you how you can make all the difference for your baby, before he is even born.

Let's me uncover two of the biggest Smart Baby Myths right now - Smart babies inherited smart genes from their parents
Not true, smart babies can and have been born to parents that are of average intelligence. Not only do I know of other parents that have no history of extremely high intelligence in their families, but I am also living proof of this.
- Educational toys makes babies smarter
Not true, a recent study on shapes compared University students with same aged individuals from a third world country that never had access to any educational toys. The University students scored no higher on the tests and confirmed what many parents already know, you can toss the shape sorter on the scrap heap.
How is it possible to increase a baby's intelligence before birth?
We used to believe that a baby inherits his Genome from his parents and that his destiny is, from the moment of conception, forever set
But in the last 10 years this thinking has completely been discarded with the discovery of the Epigenome. Soon after conception a baby starts to switch genes in different cells on or off, mapping his epigenome.
This works not only with switching genes on or off, but also by turning genes up or down, explaining the differences between siblings, darker hair, different eye colors, differences in strength and intelligence.
It is during the mapping of your baby's Epigenome where you can make all the difference.
3 Steps You Need To Take To Increase Your Baby's Intelligence Before Birth.
Step 1. Nutrition, this is a no-brainer. Everyone knows you need to eat well during pregnancy. Yet there are still some healthy foods that are better than others, not because they are more nutritious but because they help you accomplish step 2.
Step 2. Balance your hormones, this is really important. Hormones have enormous influence when it comes to genes. Chemical messengers, hormones activate and deactivate genes according to their levels present in your body.
In a 2006 study findings suggested that the nutrient copper and its transporter, a gene called ATP7a, are vital to human thinking.
Another study on copper found that a pregnant mothers hormones regulate the gene ATP7a, the transporter of copper that are critical for developing the hippocampus and dentate gyrus, the higher learning and higher thinking areas in the brain.
* The key is not to supplement but to allow the hormones to regulate the nutrient naturally, too much copper can be dangerous! What you are looking for is food sources only!*
But don't worry, my guide is very simple and you don't need to be an expert in biology.
Step 3. Toxin Free Environment, this sounds very simple but it's really not as easy as it sounds. You may be very surprised to find how many everyday products in your home, even cosmetics and some foods in your diet is causing a mountain of obstacles for your poor baby, working hard to develop best he can.
Some toxins also mimic hormones and can potentially alter your baby's genes.
