Genes, we all have them. They are a part of our individual build and control everything, from our eye and hair color, to how we metabolize different foods. However, some people have genes which are not functioning optimally. They are so-called ”dirty genes”. So, what are dirty genes? And how are they influencing our health and well-being? This week, I am talking to Dr. Ben Lynch ND, who is a pioneer in the field of epigenetics and author of the book ”Dirty genes”. He will share his personal view on the ”dirty genes” and why these might not be as bad as we often are made to believe.
