A short YouTube talk (by Vishen Lakhiani) explaining that while DNA sequence doesn't change, gene expression can be altered by external and interpersonal factors. The speaker asserts that food and social interactions (positive or negative) can change which genes are turned on or off, and claims these changes can occur immediately during interactions or bites of food.

What is causing genes to get turned on or off. You can't change your genes, but you can change the expression of your genes. You can change how those genes work, which ones are turned on or off. And there are a whole host of things that influence that. And it's not just your genes. It's the. It's the food that you eat that changes your gene expression. It's your social interactions and connections that change your gene expression. We now know that if you have somebody who you're with and you have a deep heart connection with them, and a positive interaction, you literally can change each other's gene expression in the moment. And if you have a negative interaction, you can change your gene expression in the moment. The same thing with food. With every bite of food, you're changing your gene expression.
