It’s not your genetics!!! #health #healthyliving #podcast #podcastclips

You said genetics load the gun, but environment pulls the trigger. What's behind that is now even more research showing that 90% of the risk of chronic disease comes from environmental factors, not genetics. Genetics only account for about 10%. Nine out of 10 things that we could do to reverse or prevent disease involve just the choices we make about what we eat, how much sleep we're getting, how much we exercise, how we regulate stress, our sense of meaning, our relationships. Those are the things that drive our health and our longevity. Degenerative brain conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's are not just fate, which is what the conventional medical establishment has led us to believe. So we have, like pioneering research by Dale Bredesen and have shown that even early stage dementia and Alzheimer's in some cases can be either slowed or reversed.
