In this podcast, we're going to talk about genetics. How much of your disease is genetic, and how much of your health is genetic?

Are diseases genetic? People often think they simply have "bad genes." But, that's not true. Only 5-10% of disease is caused by a genetic defect that has been passed on by your parents. 

Most gene mutations are not inherited; they're somatic mutations. Somatic mutations mean it's not inherited, but caused by your environment. 

Epigenetics means above genetics. For example, think of DNA as a DVD and epigenetic as the DVD player. You can select what you want to activate and control. 90-95% of your health, and whether you get a disease is epigenetics. 

Exposome is the accumulation of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. We're talking about the exposure to your environment, which started when you were still in the womb. Everything adds up and can trigger certain genes, which leads to certain diseases.
