What is Epigenetics?
Your genes are not your destiny! While we inherit our DNA from our ancestors, our environment, lifestyle, and even our thoughts influence how those genes are expressed. This is the science of epigenetics —how external factors can turn genes “on” or “off” without changing the DNA itself.
Why does this matter?
Your health isn’t just about the genes you were born with—it’s about how they interact with your daily choices and surroundings.
✔ What you eat – Nutrients can support or hinder gene expression.
✔ How you live – Sleep, movement, and stress impact health at a genetic level.
✔ What you think – Your mindset and emotions can influence your body’s responses.
✔ Your environment – Toxins, pollutants, and even ancestral experiences play a role.
The exciting part? You have the power to change your health! By making informed choices about food, lifestyle, and mindset, you can influence gene expression and support long-term well-being—for yourself, your family, and even your pets.
