Your genes are fixed. You're born with a set of genes, but how those genes behave in their dynamic environment is influenced by things like good nutrition, exercise and so on.
Imagine your health being influenced not just by what you eat, but by what your grandparents ate. In this fascinating episode of 'American Medicine Today', author Judith Finlayson joins the hosts to chat about her book, 'You Are What Your Grandparents Ate'. The discussion dives into epigenetics, a field that studies how our genes can be affected by the diet and experiences of our ancestors.
It's not just about DNA; it's about how lifestyle choices can leave lasting marks on gene expression. Finlayson explains how biological memories might influence our health, potentially affecting future generations too. But there's good news! By making small changes to our diet and lifestyle, we can positively impact our gene expression. The Mediterranean diet, known for its anti-inflammatory benefits, is highlighted as a powerful tool in this process.
The episode also touches on the importance of maintaining a healthy microbiome, which is linked to mental health and overall well-being. With a mix of scientific insights and practical advice, this episode offers listeners a new perspective on how their everyday choices can shape their health and that of their descendants. Whether you're curious about the science behind your genes or looking for actionable tips to improve your health, this conversation with Judith Finlayson is both enlightening and empowering.
