Want to Change Your Genes? Just Change Your Mind. (Epigenetics Explained.)

I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago about the nature of our genes and how we have far more control over them then once thought. Our genes respond to the environmental signals that we choose to expose them to.  So yes, we are in control of 95% of our gene expression. This is the basic premise of “Epigenetics.” Where this gets even more exciting is that we can pass on our good gene expression to... [Read more]
