Description

Our biology is no longer our destiny. In this newly expanded and updated book, world-renowned integrative medicine pioneer and bestselling author Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier reveals the new frontier of personalized medicine and steps each of us can take to change our genetic expression for a lifetime of vitality and longevity.


We now understand that our inherited DNA does not rigidly determine our health and disease prospects as geneticists once believed. In fact, scientists have confirmed that the vast majority of our genes are actually fluid and dynamic! An endless supply of new studies prove that our health is an expression of how we live our lives, what we eat, how we process thoughts, manage our daily stress, and shield ourselves from the toxicity of our immediate environment creates an internal biochemistry which has the ability to turn genes on or off. This era of epigenetics provides new avenues of prevention, treatment and reversals of heart disease, intestinal disorders, cancer, arthritis, stress conditions, as well as Alzheimer's disease. Managing these biochemical effects on our genome is the new key to radiant wellness and healthy longevity. State-of-the-art technology now constructs precise, high-tech genomic assays that provide highly detailed personalized profiles to guide our health choices. Genomic data, combined with microbiome assessments, will soon analyze trillions of gut bacteria for markers of epigenetic influence.


Dr. Pelletier explains what will soon become the standard reference for measuring which specific lifestyle changes are required to optimize a given individual's health and open the door to what futurists call personalized medicine.

Critical Reviews

"Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier's intent has always been to lead us to discover what more each of us can do to make healthier choices. While the right equation may not be "mind over matter," it is profoundly true, as Ken likes to say, that our mind matters!" - DR. ANDREW WEIL

A must read for consumers and clinicians." -WOODSON MERRELL, MD, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE, MT. SINAI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, CHAIRMAN, INTEGRATIVE HEALTHCARE SYMPOSIUM


"The book distills the complexities of genetics and metabolism into easy-to-understand concepts, metaphors, and examples that make these often arcane topics accessible and applicable to practical health improvement solutions." - DAVID S. SOBEL, MD, MPH, ADJUNCT LECTURER, STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE


"So you think health is all in your genes? Think again. It in your epigenes! Dr. Pelletier once again shows he is a master translator of this complex science into the simple and useable. Read it. Use it." - WAYNE JONAS, MD


"Dr. Pelletier has taken this information and broken it down into an interesting, informative read complete with advice on optimizing our own health." - K. ANDREW CRIGHTON, MD, PAST CHAIRMAN OF THE HEALTH ENHANCEMENT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION


"Dr. Pelletier has integrated decades of experience and research - on how our genes truly respond to our lifestyle, on the role of stress, consciousness and gut health - and he offers us our own dashboard of markers, guidance systems and practices to fulfill our potential as radiant, thriving beings." - FOSTER GAMBLE, CO-CREATOR, THRIVE MOVIE AND MOVEMENT


"I have always found the pioneering research and writings of my longtime friend Ken Pelletier to be invaluable. I highly recommend this book to anyone hoping to lead a healthy long life."- KEN DYCHTWALD, PH.D.


"Dr. Pelletier unravels the mystery of your genes and the epigenetic inputs throughout life that continue to program your genes. Reading this book is an essential epigenetic input that will help you optimize your gene expression." - RICHARD CARMONA, MD, MPH, FACS, SEVENTEENTH SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES


"Not only does this book provides a scientific basis for our ability to shape our health trajectories through belief and lifestyle choices, but it also outlines the emerging power of personalized medicine." - EMERAN A. MAYER, MD, PHD,


"I found genetics to be the most complex subject in medical school. Now, fifty years later, the field is one hundred times more complicated. But leave it to Kenneth Pelletier to once again not only tackle the importance of this rapidly evolving field but, as with his other timely books, to make the practical application of these breakthroughs easy to understand for most readers. No one does it better." - STEVEN E. LOCKE, MD, ASSOCIATE CLINICAL, PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRY AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, DISTINGUISHED LIFE FELLOW OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, IHOPE NETWORK
