As a doctor of Chinese medicine, I’m always looking for ways to gettoxins out of my life.
Whether it be skin care products,clean eating, or plastics, health is affected by lifestyle behaviors.
This gives an individual a certain power over their genetic expression.
But first, you must understand your genes and epigenetics.
These expressions of change are included in the concept of epigenetics.
Epigenetics don’t change the DNA sequence, but theydo change how the gene is expressed1.
Luckily, epigenetic changes are reversible and can be influenced by dietary changes.
Lifestyle and environmental factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking can cause serious damage to the epigenome.
So, how can we influence our epigenetics for better health?
This is where detoxing comes in.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, however.
Our bodies process toxins differently, which can determine how effective a detox might be.
You never know what is going on in the body unless you test.
I know this because for years I was doing the wrong detox for my genes.
This helps pinpoint the best way to detox for their genes.
This helps me decide which foods to incorporate or reduce and which supplements to use in their detox plan.
These labs help us create a customized detox based on each individual’s genetic needs.
It could not get more personalized than that!
