Epigenetics is a fascinating field of genetics that studies how the epigenome and environmental, nutritional and social factors affect gene expression. Josh and Chuck explain how epigenetics works in this episode.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of epigenetics, the cutting-edge science that's revolutionizing our understanding of genetics and inheritance. They explore how environmental factors like diet, stress, and trauma can actually alter gene expression through chemical "tags" that get passed down to future generations, challenging everything we thought we knew about nature versus nurture. From honeybee queens to PTSD inheritance and potential cancer treatments, this episode reveals how our lifestyle choices today might be affecting our grandchildren in ways Darwin never imagined.
