Have you ever blamed something on your genes? Perhaps you’ve
said things like “I can’t change that, it’s in my genes”. Now it’s
true that we inherit our genes from our parents. However,
once you understand epigenetics, you will realize that this does
not mean that your health and your life is dictated by your
genes.
Something else has to happen for your genes to be switched on.
Epigenetics is all about the study of the other factors that
control whether genes are switched on or not. This is known
as gene expression in the field of epigenetics.
By listening to this podcast, you will realise that you have far
more control over your genes. Even if your parents had bad genes
that made them more susceptible to certain diseases, it does not
mean that this will affect you as well. Once you learn about
epigenetics, you will realise that you can take charge of your
health and your life.
