Epigenetics: How Your Choices Affect Your Genetic Expression

December 8, 2010 By Roland Phillips (D.C.)

To put it in a nutshell, we all have inherited genetic strengths and weaknesses.  However all to often in the office I hear from clients “it’s in my genes”, my mother, father, sister, aunt had x,y,and z so the default through inadequate knowledge and faulty logic is that they are just powerless victims of their inherited genes.

False! As cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton explains ” It is now recognized that the environment (our choices) and more specifically our perception (interpretation of reality=subjectivity) of the environment directly controls the activity of our genes!  Environment controls the gene activity (and protein synthesis; the foundation of life) through a process know as epigenetic control.”

So to simplify; you and I are not a slave to our DNA, it’s our choices, more specifically how I perceive reality, that dictates how my body performs!  If reality is perceived as a threat my body will respond accordingly, just as if reality is perceived as a joy/dance with life my body will also respond accordingly.

In Health & Service,

Dr. Roland Phillips
