We have been taught that epigenetics is about diet and stress. But there is a missing piece affecting you every single second. Your environment is ALSO code. The light entering your eyes. The temperature of your skin. The invisible electromagnetic fields filling your space. These are direct epigenetic signals that determine which genes are active and which are silent. In Week 3 of our 6-week epigenetics series, we dive deep into HOW your environment writes code to your genes. What you will learn: How light hitting your eyes literally changes which genes are active through ipRGCs, melanopsin, and CLOCK genes. Why red light therapy activates DNA repair genes with 300 plus genes changed in one session. How temperature is not about comfort, it is an epigenetic signal. What heat shock proteins are and why they are critical for longevity based on the Finnish sauna study showing 50 percent lower heart disease risk. How cold exposure activates genes that burn fat with UCP-1 activated 40 fold. Why EMF might be the most overlooked epigenetic disruptor of our time. Specific protocols to hack your environment for optimal gene expression. Episode callbacks to S2E2 on food as code, S2E1 on genes not being destiny, S1E22 on light and metabolism, and S1E10 on temperature as a metabolic signal. Next week we cover stress, cortisol, and methylation.
