This also explains why you go through transformations throughout your life.
Puberty, aging itself, losing weight, gaining weight, building muscles.
All these transformations underlie epigenetic mechanisms.
And here's why you should be excited.
Most of these marks are written in pencil, not in pen.
Every day they are rewritten by enzymes.
We scientists actually call writer and eraser enzymes.
And guess who controls these editors?
Every single thing you do.
What you eat, how you move, how you handle stress, these send signals to the writer and the eraser enzymes.
And that's why in epigenetics, you are not just a passive reader of your genetic code, but an active writer of your health story every day with every choice.
Genes are recipes for proteins, the building blocks of everything in our body.
Okay.
These recipes are written
in DNA and variations in the DNA sequence determine variations in the function of these proteins that can affect the way we respond to nutrients, the way we look, even our predisposition to disease.
But here's where people get confused about genetic risk.
Not all genetic variants are created equal.
You hear people say genes load the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger.
And here's where epigenetics comes in.
A landmark study published in 2016 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
