#169: Lucia Aronica, PhD- Epigenetics and Ketogenic Diets, How Low-Carb Living Changes Genetic Expression
Stanford University scientist Lucia Aronica, PhD, goes into details about how different diets—especially low-carb—affect our DNA structure (aka epigenome). You might recall that your epigenome is the modifiable “scaffolding” that regulates your genes. (A tweak in the epigenome can either activate or silence your genes.)

P.S. Happy holidays! Hope you enjoy this gift of information about diet and gene function from Stanford’s Lucia Aronica, PhD. Read the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/169 Watch the interview: https://youtu.be/v-6ONF_PZpc?list=PL0ovt_TbvVmYvrI48Tzs1vhe4o2eUn8qU
