In this episode, Dr. Scott A. Johnson explores the fascinating relationship between essential oils and gene expression through the lens of epigenetics. He discusses how epigenetics serves as a control system for our DNA, influencing gene expression through mechanisms like DNAmethylation and histone modification. The conversation highlights the impact of lifestyle choices on epigenetic changes and how essential oils can positively affect our health by modulating gene activity. Dr. Johnson emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts to enhance overall wellness and improve biological age.
