The study of how behaviors, environment, and lifestyle factors can modify gene expression without changing the DNA sequence itself, influencing health and aging.
Epigenetic mechanisms — including DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA expression — act as switches that turn genes on or off. Diet, exercise, stress, sleep, toxin exposure, and social connections all influence epigenetic patterns. This means that genetics are not destiny; lifestyle choices can powerfully influence which genes are expressed.
Patients interested in understanding how their lifestyle choices affect their gene expression and long-term health outcomes.
