Is picky eating genetic? In this episode of How to Un-Picky Your Picky Eater, Christine Miroddi Yoder breaks down the science behind genes like MTHFR, TAS2R38 (the “bitter taste” gene), FUT2, DAO, and HLA-DQ2/DQ8, and how they can influence your child’s eating habits. Learn the visible signs genetics may be playing a role, why environment still matters just as much as DNA, and three practical steps you can take right now to support your child. If you’ve ever wondered whether picky eating runs in families—or if your child’s struggles could be more than “just a phase”—this episode will help you connect the dots.
