The foundation guiding maternal genomic insight, testing pathways, and practitioner education.
MGI's research methodology combines an individual's genomic data with:
-
Maternal Physiology
-
Nutrigenomics
-
Epigenetics
-
Hormone Literacy
-
Birth Education
-
Known maternal risks (anesthesia, Pitocin response, mood disorders, hemorrhage, etc.)
-
Postpartum Recovery Science
Welcome to MGI
The Maternal Genomics Institute was created to bring clarity to the rapidly developing intersection of genomics, physiology, and maternal health. Our research framework outlines how we interpret evidence, evaluate genetic findings, and integrate insights into
educational pathways for mothers and practitioners.
Maternal Genomics Institute provides personalized maternal genomic reports that offer insight into how genetics may influence health and wellness across pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
These reports are designed to support informed conversations and collaborative care with a trusted healthcare provider, not replace it.
The Six Pillars of
Maternal Genomics Institute
Our work spans the full continuum of maternal wellness:
1. Cycle Health and Fertility
2. Pregnancy Physiology
3. Birth & Perinatal Factors
4. Postpartum Recovery
5. Maternal Mental Health
6. Women's Hormonal Health
​
-
MGI does not diagnose, treat, or replace clinical care​
-
MGI Practitioners operate within a non-clinical educational model
-
All recommendations remain informational and physiological-based
-
Any clinical decisions must be made with licensed healthcare providers
-
We prioritize maternal safety, informed consent, and evidence transparancy in all educational content
Our infrastructure is built on the latest research,
ensuring evidence-based practices.
We are committed to supporting ongoing research in the field of maternal health, striving to provide mothers
with the best care possible.
