Epigenetics & DNA
Every person has approximately 23,000 genes. Genetic variants determine our appearance, behavior, and health-related factors, such as our eating habits, food intolerances, nutrient absorption, how we cope with stress, and how effectively our bodies neutralize and eliminate toxins. Genetic testing makes it possible to visualize our genetic blueprint. In this context, epigenetics describes the modifiable part of DNA. This involves mechanisms of gene silencing (methylation) and gene activation (acetylation). Through targeted micronutrient supplementation, it is possible to address individual needs in a precise manner.
