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.
