Epigenetics


The way you move, eat and even think affects the expression of your genes. The reason I prescribe the movement, activity and eating patterns I do is because I have found these patterns to lead to the most favorable expression of ones genetic profile. Health has little to do with calories, target heart rate, etc. We want to turn the "good" genes on and leave the "bad" genes off.

The identical twins above have expressed their genetics in very different ways through their eating and movement patterns.

We are not slaves to our heredity.
