#10 - Dr. Kenneth Pelletier: Change Your Genes, Change Your Life

Blake Season 1 Episode 10

Contrary to the mainstream view of genetic determinism, the new science of epigenetics tells us that we have control over 95% of our genes and can turn them on or off. This is a huge shift in the narrative and allows us, as individuals, to take back the reins of our health. Say goodbye to the victim mentality of needing drugs and doctors, and say hello to a new paradigm built on empowering individuals to create change through their actions.

Discover in this episode what epigenetics is and how we can start implementing what researchers are finding into our everyday lives. We delve deep into the current state of the scientific community and how it is receiving the change that epigenetics is bringing. Although we may think that science has our best interests at heart, some are resistant to the change because of the entire model shift that comes with it.
