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

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.

But yeah, blue eyes is just this one individual.

Interesting.

That's really interesting.

Yeah, so I mean our genes are constantly changing how they're expressing based on what environmental stimulus is coming in. So we have these changes that happen on the order of minutes or hours or things like that. Then there's also changes that we're finding out are happening kind of over generations. So we now know that there can be epigenetic changes. So these are changes –

So we now know that there can be epigenetic changes.

So these are changes –

you know, little modifications to the genome that happen by things actually, molecules actually attaching to the genome and changing how genes express, that can be passed down.

So this is really interesting from the perspective of things like trauma.

You know, we know that, you know, refugee populations actually have some of these changes that they've inherited from their parents, even if they weren't, you know, victims of the event that caused them to be refugees.

Yeah, it's a very good question.

Yeah, it's a very good question. You know, in the case of trauma and refugees, I'm not sure. I do know in terms of starvation, that's been something that's been studied as well. So there was a famine that affected Dutch people several hundred years ago, I think. And that was actually also kind of recorded in these epigenetic changes.
