We’re In Control with the Help of Epigenetics
Matty Lansdown Notable Quotes
“Humans are predominantly controlled by the environments in which they put themselves in, and their inner environments as well—the thoughts they think, the food put in their body, and that information then engages and interact with the DNA to produce the expression. And the expression is different for everyone.”
– Matty Lansdown
“We want to help inspire people to take control of their life, take control of their health, and really let them know that they’re in the driver’s seat because the social narrative that’s being pumped into them through TV shows, the news, through the media, through universities, is that you are just a victim to your genetics…when the truth is, you’re totally in control.”
– Matty Lansdown
Episode Summary
When we’re optimizing our health, it’s not just looking at one thing, like our diet, tweaking it, and expecting everything to snowball into optimum health from there. That’s not how we’re supposed to approach optimizing health—we’ll need a holistic approach from our interactions with food to the thoughts that we have. And that’s not at all woo-woo.
In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to scientist and nutritional consultant Matty Lansdown to shed some light on how we can optimize our health by taking a non-judgmental, holistic approach.
