What if your genes responded to the way you feel? Think of genetics as a library, each gene is a book. Epigenetics is the choice of which books are going to read. And in your own personal library, you’re the one in charge. How you feel influences gene expression from health to disease. In this episode we explore the pathways to cancer, to anxiety and ADHD, and to healing. You’re not enslaved by your genome, so claim your power back*! Follow the timestamps for specific topics:
