Genes versus Triggers for Genes: Epigenetics and Disease

In today’s program Dr. Anderson will outline and take a deep dive into the differences between your genes (genome) and those things that trigger genes toward health or illness (epigenome). For example there are some cancer related genes that people have but only a portion of those people actually develop that cancer. Why? Or you may have a family history of some problem (heart, memory etc.) but some in the family develop the problem and others do not. Why? What does the epigenome do in its role of gene regulation and how can you keep it operating well – so you avoid disease.
