Don’t understand epigenetics? Don’t worry. There was a time when genetic analysis was hardly known or understood. Now, genetic analysis is performed by thousands of companies and your full genome can be decoded for less than $100. Epigenetics is how your behaviors change your outcome. Epigenetics gives us knowledge on how to change your life, and the ability to read biology to understand your current health status. You ARE in control. Your host, Hannah Went, is here to discuss the insights which can improve your life and health. She is here to bring you Everything Epigenetics, simplified.

Detecting the Undetectable: Epigenetics in Early Cancer Detection with Dr. Joshua Routh

Sep 24 2024 58 mins  
Recent research from the University of Chicago shows that only 14% of cancers in the U.S. are diagnosed after the patient had a recommended screening test. 57% of diagnosed cancers do not have screening tests and account for 70% of all cancer-related deaths. 86% of cancer cases still go undiagnosed after recommended screenings. ‍16M+ life years saved in the U.S. from early-detect

Alzheimer’s Disease as an Epigenetic Disease with Dr. David Katz

Aug 27 2024 56 mins  
Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that slowly erodes memory, cognitive function, and the ability to perform even the simplest tasks. It’s heartbreaking not only for those diagnosed but also for their loved ones as they watch a gradual loss of the person they knew. This is exactly how I felt in 2015 when I watched my grandmother be taken by this aw
