Matt Kelly explains why two people with identical detox enzyme levels can process chemicals differently: genetic variants and epigenetic changes that activate or silence detox genes. Clinicians who ignore genomic signatures miss the real picture of how someone's body handles toxins.

You can look at the same detoxification markers, but if you're not also looking at the genomic, so the genetic signatures that are different from one patient to another that code for those detoxification pathways, if you've epigenetically had your bad genes turned on and now you're a poor detoxifier, you're going to deal with chemicals differently than someone who has the same exact levels of those enzymes.
