SYSK Selects: Can Your Grandfather's Diet Shorten Your Life?

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of epigenetics, exploring how your genes can be turned on and off by chemical tags called methyl groups, and how those changes can actually be passed down to your kids and grandkids. They explain that while your DNA is like computer hardware, epigenetics is the software that controls which genes activate or deactivate based on your environment, diet, stress levels, and even your parents' experiences. From honeybees to mice to humans, the hosts break down mind-blowing research showing that your choices today could literally affect the health and traits of your descendants for generations to come.
