What Is Epigenetics?

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment, which includes food choices, can cause changes that affect the way your genes work.  Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence.  Epigenetics...

Thousands of people now use DNA methylation age tests to measure the effectiveness of diet and lifestyle changes.

If you’re changing your diet or lifestyle, testing your biological age will show if the changes are beneficial. Plus these tests are starting to tell you what part of your body needs attention (inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, etc.).    Epigenetics is your body switching genes on and off depending on...

Control How Your Genes Work. Changing Gene Expression To Prevent And Resolve Health Issues.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment, which includes food choices, can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence. Epigenetics impacts cell differentiation and shapes how cells function in your body.

Look to Food First As The Game Changer If You Want To Heal!

Fruits & vegetables are incredibly dense in phyto-chemicals and epi-nutrients which are essential for optimal health and longevity.  The incredible compounds in these foods have the extraordinary ability to regulate gene expression, meaning that they have an epigenetic effect which is to say that the compounds in these foods cause changes that effect how your genes are expressed.

Have you heard of betalains?

We love beets for their rich betaine content, which is an excellent methyl donor, helping to improve methylation and recovering your DNA. Beets are also an epigenetic modulator, guiding changes to DNA that regulate whether genes are turned on or off.
