As we started last week, into my buckets of well-being.

As we started last week, we are discussing physical well-being.

As a base for understanding wellness, we must understand illness as well and eventually what are the ways we can

counter what feels like the uncontrollable.

One of the most interesting findings in recent years is that only 5% of disease-related gene mutations are fully penetrant.

A gene mutation is a genetic error, a mistake, like a spelling mistake or a typo in a word and the gene is made up of words called DNA and if these

words are in the wrong sequence or upside down or if a word is missing or there's an extra letter not a

word missing let's say yeah word missing or even an alphabet missing that's

called a mutation a genetic variation or a mistake.

Only 5% of these are severe enough to guarantee the disease, which means they predict the

disease. If somebody has a gene like braca gene

for breast cancer, then that person

is going to get the breast cancer.

And soon there will be technologies for actually cutting and pasting genes, just reading

the barcode of a gene, deleting a harmful gene, inserting a healthy gene. But even when we do that, we'll only be able to cure only 5% of

disease. The remaining genetic mutations that are thought to cause disease actually

increased the likelihood of disease but do not guarantee the disease.
