We have all heard someone say, “she has great genes” or “it must be in his DNA.” But is that what is really going on? Are we really just a product of our genetic makeup, or is there more to it? Consider case studies of identical twins separated at birth, raised in drastically different environments, and observed to be completely different. How much influence did genetics really have? The modern argument is no longer nature vs nurture, but now it is genetic vs epigenetic.
In this episode, we are going to explore why epigenetic pioneer, Dr. Ben Lynch, claims that “your genes are not your destiny.” We will cover the basics of genetics, epigenetics, gene expression, methylation, and genetic polymorphisms. Most importantly, this episode will offer actionable advice to ‘clean’ up your genes and become the Beethoven of your life.
