Huberman Lab · Behaviors That Alter Your Genes to Improve Your Health & Performance | Dr. Melissa Ilardo · 26 May 2025 podcast

Thank you.

I think that's something we're still understanding at this point. I mean, I think every day we're getting more and more information about the ways that we can actually modify gene expression and these things that we thought were totally predetermined in the past. And so I think we're still learning with epigenetics and all of these new fields just how much we can actually change things.

And so I think we're still learning with epigenetics and all of these new fields just how much we can actually change things.

There are, of course, things that are kind of written in our genes, but I think we're learning that there's a lot more that we can change.

Yeah, just going back to eye color, because this is just one of my favorite genetics facts.

Yeah, just going back to eye color, because this is just one of my favorite genetics facts. So everyone with blue eyes descends from the same person. So at one point in human history, one person had a change in their eye color. And it's just like amazing to imagine this person who had blue eyes for the first time.

So everyone with blue eyes descends from the same person.

So at one point in human history, one person had a change in their eye color.

And it's just like amazing to imagine this person who had blue eyes for the first time.

And then through many generations, probably because that was a very attractive and interesting feature in that individual, you know, that spread throughout human populations as we know them. So I always just find that to be fun about blue eyes.

I think that's right. Yeah, I think it's the most rare.

I think that's right.

Yeah, I think it's the most rare.

Yeah, I think in the history of humans as a species, I think that was our original eye color. And so then, yeah, having these other eye colors arise in the population created these events. I think green eyes, if I'm not mistaken, there were multiple people, you know, that comes from different genes from different individuals in the history of humans.

Yeah, I think in the history of humans as a species, I think that was our original eye color.

And so then, yeah, having these other eye colors arise in the population created these events.
