Don’t understand epigenetics? Don’t worry. There was a time when genetic analysis was hardly known or understood. Now, genetic analysis is performed by thousands of companies and your full genome can be decoded for less than $100. Epigenetics is how your behaviors change your outcome. Epigenetics gives us knowledge on how to change your life, and the ability to read biology to understand your current health status. You ARE in control. Your host, Hannah Went, is here to discuss the insights which can improve your life and health. She is here to bring you Everything Epigenetics, simplified.

    Men vs. Women: Who Really Ages Faster?

    Aging is a complex process, but have you ever wondered how it differs between men and women? In this week’s episode of the Everything Epigenetics podcast, Sara Hägg, an Associate Professor at Karolinska Institutet, and I discuss the fascinating differences in biological aging between sexes.
