TMHS 264: The Facts About Your Dirty Genes: Methylation, SNPs, & Drinking Wine - With Guest Dr. Ben Lynch

The more we find out about our genes, the more fascinating our potential becomes.

It’s important to realize that our genes don’t control our lives. In fact, in many ways it’s the opposite. There are thousands of things we can do to influence our genetic expression. And that’s where the real adventure begins.

Today you’re going to discover some little known facts about your genes that might just change your life forever.
