What if someone was to tell you that you can change your genes? What would you say?

The long-standing nature vs. nurture debate has fueled many fires over the years, but what if science could demonstrate that such a change can be made? My many years of curious research and personal journey have led me to believe that such a gene change is possible. How you might ask? I will share a bit of pop science I have come to both learn and experience.

In a desperate attempt to heal my own life, the highlight of my search began when I first stumbled upon The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton, a former professor at the University of Wisconsin and a research scientist. He shares his revolutionary findings in a growing field of what is coined epigenetics. What this research showed using a simple petri dish filled with embryonic stem cells was this: The health of these cells were influenced by the medium they were exposed to.
