The Switchboard of Life: Epigenetics in the Fight Against Alzheimer's

Can we control how our genes behave? In this episode of Science for Care, host Anca Petre explores the fascinating world of epigenetics—where our environment and lifestyle can influence the way our DNA operates. Joined by Dr. Semira Gonseth Nusslé, a specialist in preventive medicine, we dive into how epigenetic mechanisms act like a switchboard, turning genes on or off in response to factors like diet, stress, and toxins.We explore how these epigenetic triggers could play a key role in the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s, where lifestyle choices may influence up to 95% of cases. With breakthroughs in detecting "epigenetic clocks" and the possibility of resetting harmful gene expressions, epigenetics could pave the way for revolutionary treatments in preventing and managing diseases. Discover how the choices we make every day can shape our health and well-being at the deepest level—our DNA.Podcast by HealthTech for Care Production: MedShake Studio Host: Anca Petre Guest: Dr. Semira Gonseth Nusslé Hosted on Ausha.
