Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that occurs due to an accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. It affects over 5 million Americans of all ages, particularly those over 65 years of age and is one of the leading causes of death in the US. Currently, there are no … Continue reading Protective Epigenetic Marks Go Awry in Alzheimer’s Disease
Exposure to Cold Temperatures Can Change Our Gene Expression and Fat Cells
Long-term exposure to cold temperatures could actually affect our gene expression and influence our fat cells, a recent study suggests. Research published in Nature Communications offers more evidence on how lifestyle choices and exposure to our environment can dictate the way our genes express themselves, an overarching theme of epigenetics. A group of researchers based … Continue reading Exposure to Cold Temperatures Can Change Our Gene Expression and Fat Cells
Diet and Good Gut Bacteria Could Epigenetically Change Your Gene Expression
There are many different diets available in the nutritional world today that could dramatically adjust our gut bacteria, depending on what we consume. High-fat, low-carb diets, low-fat, high-carb diets, fasting, and cleanses are just a few examples of popular diets, and even what some may call “fads”, which might leave a person confused (and hungry). … Continue reading Diet and Good Gut Bacteria Could Epigenetically Change Your Gene Expression
Could Broccoli Epigenetically Reduce Your Cancer Risk?
We’ve often heard that certain foods might have the power to reduce our risk of disease. There’s Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol found in green tea, that may help prevent tumor growth, or DHA, one of the major omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and nuts, that could protect neurons and perhaps lower the chances … Continue reading Could Broccoli Epigenetically Reduce Your Cancer Risk?
Social Deficits of Autism Reversed By Epigenetic Drug
It is estimated that 1 in 59 children in the United States fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects the nervous system and is characterized by challenges with speech, social skills and communication. Many factors can determine a child’s predisposition to developing autism, such as genetic mutations during … Continue reading Social Deficits of Autism Reversed By Epigenetic Drug
Recent Epigenetic Discovery Could Help Revitalize Immune Response to Cancer and Viruses
A recent discovery out of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital finds an epigenetic cause to why T-cells fall ineffective in immune responses to cancer and viral infections. T-cells, a type of cell produced by the thymus gland, are a critical combatant in the human immune system. Their main job is to fight foreign invaders such … Continue reading Recent Epigenetic Discovery Could Help Revitalize Immune Response to Cancer and Viruses
Epigenetic Mechanism Shows Promise in the Fight Against HIV Latency
HIV is a chronic viral infection that attacks the immune system, eventually incapacitating its ability to fight infection leaving the person vulnerable to the development of AIDS, which often leads to death. Anti-retroviral therapies can help to control the virus, but complete eradication of the virus has been tricky to achieve due its stealthy ability … Continue reading Epigenetic Mechanism Shows Promise in the Fight Against HIV Latency
Why Food Is The Most Powerful Drug | Dr. Mark Hyman

Bruce Lipton The Biology of Belief Full Lecture
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about life. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, Bruce Lipton demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound … Continue reading Bruce Lipton The Biology of Belief Full Lecture
Harnessing Epigenetics to Prevent the Immune System from Attacking Itself
Cannabidiol and Magnesium Help Treats Diabetes. As the weather gets cooler and winter begins to set in, we’re reminded that the immune system is our first line of defense against foreign pathogens and helps prevent us from getting sick. The immune system is comprised of different types of cells that are able to recognize and … Continue reading Harnessing Epigenetics to Prevent the Immune System from Attacking Itself
