Dr. Florence Comite

You can look fantastic on the outside.

He looked fantastic.

He's a thin guy who bikes all over hills and mountains.

And he changed.

And he actually had to show his doctors there what was going on because they couldn't believe it.

Another factor is...

Did you have inheritance that showed up?

Because in this lifespan, we are living with poor food sources so that even though we think we're buying healthy food when we buy a bunch of kale, which looks phenomenal, we're really buying kale that's been grown to look big and to get volume but doesn't have nutrients because the soil is depleted.

so there are a lot of factors that can affect one human being that might not carry on but it means the propensity is there it was built into your genetic profile and in fact pretty recently there was a study that showed we now are beginning to believe what i believed for a very long time

And there's data based on hundreds of twins out of Northern Europe that shows that more than 50% of expressed disease is genetic.

And it used to be a very simple thing.

Oh, genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger.

And most people would say it's 35% genetics and it's 65% lifestyle.

And in fact, that's

Absolutely really not true because there are some conditions that are 100% genetics.

For example, malignant melanoma.

It happens where the sun doesn't shine.

It happens inside your body, in your brain, and in places that doesn't see the sun.

So why is that?

Whereas squamous cell and basal cell cancers, which can start out with actinic keratoses that should be treated so you don't get them, can happen because you're exposed.
