How Epigenetics Can Help Balance Our Hormones

Hormonal imbalances can cause weight gain, migraines, insomnia, acne, loss of libido and much more.  On this week's episode, we speak to the authors of Our Hormones Our Health: how to understand your hormones and transform your life about cutting edge ways to balance our hormones. Dr. Susanne Esche-Belke and Dr. Suzann Kirschner-Brouns share new research in the study of Epigenetics which can help midlife women balance hormones and maintain a healthy lifespan.  Epigenetics studies how your behaviors and the environment can affect the way your genes work.  Are you drinking from plastic water bottles?  What is your stress level?  How much sugar do you eat?  There are many factors at play. 99.9% of humans share the same DNA.  It is in that small window of difference where the causes of disease may be found.  We discuss how environment and behaviors may switch a gene on in one person but not another.
