Epigenome Framework

The epigenome is the system that controls which genes are switched on and off

Problem it solves

People whose fear or anxiety responses in peak performance contexts prevent them from taking the courageous actions required for meaningful progress.

Best for

People interested in understanding the biology of aging and how to slow it down or reverse it

Not ideal for

People not interested in science or health

Overview

Why this framework exists

The epigenome is the system that controls which genes are switched on and off. It is a complex system that is influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress levels.

Common mistakes

2 traps

Not understanding the epigenome

Not taking the time to learn about the epigenome and how it controls which genes are switched on and off can lead to a lack of understanding of how to influence the epigenome.

Not making lifestyle changes

Not making changes to your diet, exercise routine, and stress levels can lead to a lack of progress in influencing the epigenome.
