What is Bioindividuality?
Bioindividuality refers to the idea that each person has a unique biological makeup and therefore has individualized nutritional, physical, and emotional needs.
This means that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to your health and wellness, as your body will require a unique diet, exercise regimen, and lifestyle choices to maintain your optimal health.
Factors that can influence bioindividuality include genetics, epigenetics, environment, lifestyle, and personal health history. For example, if you have a genetic predisposition to a certain condition, such as inflammatory arthropathy, you may need to modify your diet and lifestyle in order to prevent or manage the condition, whereas someone without that genetic predisposition may not need to make those same modifications.
Understanding and embracing bioindividuality is the cornerstone I use to develop a personalized, tailored approach to your health and wellness—taking into account your body’s unique needs and characteristics.
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function and expression that occur without changes to the underlying DNA sequence. It refers to changes in the chemical modifications of DNA and associated proteins that regulate gene activity, without altering the DNA sequence itself. These modifications include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and other regulatory molecules.
Research in epigenetics is rapidly expanding, and it has significant implications for our understanding of human health and disease, as well as the potential for new therapies and interventions.
What is epigenetics?
Epigenetic changes can be influenced by environmental factors such as diet, stress, and exposure to toxins, and can be passed on from one generation to the next. They can play a role in the development of diseases such as cancer, as well as in the normal processes of development and aging.
