We are all born with certain genes that help determine our height and the color of our eyes as well as our likelihood of developing certain diseases. The genes don’t change, but their activity can change significantly in response to living conditions.
The field of epigenetics has been developing rapidly over the past few decades, and we now have much better understanding of how exercise, diet and other lifestyle factors influence gene expression. And our genes are not the only ones that matter: billions of bacteria that live in and on us have genes, the microbiome, that are profoundly affected by what we eat and what we do.
When you listen to the interview with Dr. Gaynor and read his book, you will learn exactly what foods are best for preventing chronic disease. You’ll also find out which supplements can be most helpful for specific conditions. Get the information you need on meditation and other activities that can have a surprisingly powerful effect on gene expression.
This Week’s Guest:
Mitchell L. Gaynor, MD, is the founder and president of Gaynor Wellness. Dr. Gaynor is also clinical assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. His new book is The Gene Therapy Plan: Taking Control of Your Genetic Destiny with Diet and Lifestyle.

I’m happy to have heard this program, and am doing the combo offer (though I’d prefer a transcript of the program to the CD). I’m particularly interested in this topic since I am a 9 1/2 year breast CA survivor. I developed an aggressive UTI last October, which led to a diagnosis of sepsis, and a 6-day hospitalization, 3 days in ICU. The admitting doctor in Emergency requested imaging because he suspected a kidney stone, but the test ultimately revealed that the breast CA metastasized to my spine. My oncologist believes that the CA was already there, dormant in my spine prior to the lumpectomy, because, for 9 years there was absolutely no indication of any spread either in the breast or beyond even though I did have spine surgery about six years ago. A PET scan did confirm the involvement in my spine, blood tests also confirming that it was the same CA. Now, 6 months later, things seemed to have stabilized, even some regression of the CA, which I credit to having adopted dietary habits emphasizing fruits and veggies. Guess that was the way to go! I am also very interested in what Dr Gaynor has to say because I had been put on a short regimen of DES in my third pregnancy, because of a prior miscarriage. The daughter born has proved to be infertile, and I’ve always been concerned about the implications of the DES.
