Epigenetics, the newest science focused on health and wellness. But what exactly is this science?
Epigenetics is the study of changes in genetic expression, expression that comes from outside the genetic code, but that creates lasting alterations that can be passed on from parent to offspring.
Let’s take a look at a caterpillar. We’ll speed through the metamorphosis and arrive at… a butterfly? Going from a dozen-or-more legs to only six, and growing two beautiful wings…
Some may think that the caterpillar and the butterfly are two different animals, but they’re the same organism. The key difference is, different genes are activated, and then expressed! Simply put, epigenetics is the science that allows a caterpillar to turn into a butterfly!
