Nature vs Nurture Debate: Insights on how nurturing your body correctly can influence positive genetic expression leading to better health outcomes.
Impact of Stress & Environment: The podcast touches upon how stress during pregnancy and peer influence during childhood can affect gene expression.
Genetic Potential & Health Expression: An explanation of how thoughts, toxins, trauma (the other 3 T’s), combined with one's unique genetics result in an individualized health profile.
Scientific Research Highlights:
- Bacteria memory transfer within colonies.
- Generational effects observed in mice studies.
