Epigenetics are our destiny

Research in the last few decades has revealed an epigenome containing epi-alleles that exists within us all. The science of epigenetics has discovered that up to 98% of our genetic expression is influenced by our environment, through factors almost completely under our control. On a daily basis our genes are up-regulated and down-regulated, optimizing or diminishing our health and overall physical and mental state. Our environment, nutrient intake, lifestyle and even our thoughts and emotions influence our unique epigenome steering our biology in any which direction. Through optimizing sleep, food, drink, bacteria exposure, movement, our mind, and reducing our toxin load we can not only influence our current physical state but ourselves on a molecular level as well. Roughly 10 percent of diseases are caused strictly be genetics, while the environment, and lifestyle known as the exposome, contribute to the vast majority of chronic and degenerative diseases that plague the modern day man.
