Today, we’re going to talk about epigenetics. I want to share with you, in simple terms, a little bit about this exciting field.

What is epigenetics? Epigenetics means “above genetics.”

Epigenetics explained:

• Genes are small sections of the DNA.

• DNA is the blueprint for building a body.

The DNA and genes can be compared to a CD with a playlist in a certain order. But, you need someone to play the CD—that’s what epigenetics does.

The DNA or gene is not set in stone. Just because you have certain genetics doesn’t mean anything. It’s really the epigenetics.

You are in charge of your DNA. You can do something about your genes, and it has to do with the epigenetic triggers. These environmental triggers turn on or off the genes.

0:42.3	It's a very exciting field, but let me just explain what it is.
0:46.7	So you have the genes, and genes are small sections of the DNA. The DNA is the blueprint, instructions for building a
0:58.6	body. And this DNA gets copied as something called RNA.
1:05.0	It's a copy of the DNA.
1:07.0	And the DNA is a double strand.
1:09.0	RNA would be a single strand.

1:17.6	then the RNA goes outside the center of the nucleus of the cell, goes to a protein factory where it makes body tissue, different
1:27.8	proteins.
1:28.8	So that's basically what DNA is and then a section of the DNA would be a gene.
1:34.6	So this right here would be compared to a CD.
