Is the year 2020 an epigenetic risk factor? Yes, she says. What you are thinking and feeling affects your health through the epigenetic effect on your genome.

The physician, psychiatrist and executive board member of the Aspen Brain Institute explains how our environment and actions influence epigenetics, how this affects our genes, and the role this plays in our health and aging process. Breaking down some intimidating terminology — genetics, genomics, and epigenetics — she helps us understand how to take control of our health through many small actions.
