Epigenetics - The Medicine Nobody Told You About28 Jul

Season 2, Episode 3: The Fabric Of Your Life

Everything you do enters your body through four doors. The bloodstream, the nervous system, the hormonal cascade, and the microbiome. Every meal, every night of sleep, every stressful call, every walk, every drink of water passes through one of these four channels and becomes, on the other side, information for your cells.

In this episode, we walk through each of the four doors and see how they actually work. We look at estrogen recycling and why the gut has more to do with hormones than most people realize. We meet a businessman whose morning routine looked perfect from the outside, and whose afternoons quietly undid everything he had built in the mornings. And we set up the bridge into the next episode, where we go deep into methylation, the switch behind everything else we have discussed.

If you have ever wondered what actually happens to a meal or a stressful conversation once it enters your body, this is the episode where the machinery gets visible.
