In this episode of Wellness Focused, I’m sharing an exciting breakthrough from Harvard on MUC1 kidney disease, a rare genetic condition that causes toxic proteins to build up inside kidney cells. Researchers have discovered a compound, BRD4780, that can clear these proteins and may one day offer a real treatment option.
But while we wait for clinical trials, there’s so much we can do today. Using the science of epigenetics, we can influence how our genes behave through nutrition, fasting, lifestyle, and targeted supplements. I’ll walk you through simple, science-backed strategies that reduce inflammation, boost antioxidant defenses, and strengthen kidney health—even if you carry genetic risks.
Your genes are not your destiny. The choices you make every day can rewrite your story.
