Shownotes Transcript

What if you could completely change the way your genes are expressed, without using any crazy sci-fi, new-agey machines or drugs?

Gray Graham) is here to explain exactly that. Gray is the lead author for the book “Pottenger’s Prophecy)” and expert in epigenetics.

If you're not familiar with the term epigenetics quite yet, don't despair (heck, spell check doesn't even recognize the word!). But this field of study is definitely something you don't want to dismiss: epigenetics has revealed that we have the power to literally reprogram our genes in favor of being lean and strong (instead of fat and flabby).

"What we know now is that genes can be turned on or off...based on what we do in our environment: food, exercise, and toxins." - Gray Graham)  In this week's show you'll hear about:

How you can literally reprogram your genetic expression to live longer

Why what you eat has massive implications on the health of your children

Why being 100% Paleo or 100% Vegan might be hurting you

What nutrition has to do with sexual dysfunction.

And much more

"The mistake is thinking a diet worked for me then, so I should maintain it for the rest of my life." - Gray Graham) Updates from the world of The Fat-Burning Man:
