Your body is a protein making machine, and needs the right nutrition to support the making of these proteins. The expression of protein is the expression of life. In order for our cells make proteins a gene has to be regulated. If we are living in survival mode/fear (perceived or real), then certain proteins will be made, if we are living in safety (perceived or real it is the same) then other proteins will be made based off that gene expression.
Born genes do not create disease. Only small percentage, 1-5% of us are born with a true genetic condition. The other 95-99% of disease is created by lifestyle and behaviors and reactions to the environment.
Genes are a library of possibilities. You can down -regulate genes for disease, and up-regulate genes for health
Learn how to give your body the proper nutrition it needs to support protein synthesis for muscle health, and learn how to train your body & nervous system to up-regulate genes to produce proteins that support health and wellbeing.
