Epigenetics

New research in epigenetics is proving very valuable - especially for health and wellness. For many decades, people were told that their health condition was "genetic"; one was doomed for disease just because their parents or grandparents carried the disease trait.



All of that is changing! Epigenetics is a field of research that demonstrates which genes are expressed in the genetic code. Every cell of your body has all the same genetic code; the differences of each cell come from the genes that are expressed.



Current research demonstrates that one of the major factors that determines the genes that are expressed come from our habits - nutrition, emotion, activities of daily living, etc. What you eat, think, and do is who you are or will become! The responsibility for health lies within each individual regardless of genetic coding.
