Change Your Genes, Change Your Life: Creating Optimal Health with the New Science of Epigenetics with Dr. Kenneth Pelletier Our DNA doesn’t rigidly determine our health and disease prospects, as the previous generation of geneticists believed. According to the new science of epigenetics, our genes are shaped by what we think and what we do. An endless supply of new studies is showing that the vast majority of our genes are fluid and dynamic. Our genetic profile may signal an inherited vulnerability to a disease, but those genes cannot predict your future. Instead, our daily choices and lifestyle behaviors determine whether these vulnerable genes will be switched on or switched off. And that means our actions have a direct and powerful effect on our genes, changing their expression so that we can achieve optimal health. Kenneth R. Pelletier, PhD, MD is a Clinical Professor of Medicine part of the Department of Medicine; Department of Family and Community Medicine, and Department of Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine (UCSF) in San Francisco. At the University of California School of Medicine he is Director of the Corporate Health Improvement Program (CHIP), which is a collaborative research program between CHIP and 15 of the Fortune 500 corporations.
