So many of you are obsessed with the makeup of your genes in the mistaken belief that they affect nearly everything in your lives, and that you could be stuck with poor health even if you make all the right choices.
Dr. Kenneth Pelletier would beg to disagree with that misinformed assumption based on his legendary career in integrative medicine. Ken shares his vast experience as a pioneer in the field of epigenetics this time on Spirit Gym.
