Genes
detoxification pathways
detoxification pathways
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the chemicals we use, the stress we carry, and the amount of sleep we get affect the way our genes work. These influences cause epigenetic changes that can make our genes behave well or poor. Food is one of the biggest influencers of our genetic expression.
detoxification pathways
detoxification pathways
detoxification pathways
Foods plays a role in all phases of our detoxification pathways. What, when, and how much we eat influence the body's ability to break down nutrients and medications and eliminate dangerous compounds that we eat, breathe, or absorb through our skin.
Hormones
detoxification pathways
Hormones
Thyroid hormones, insulin, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, and neurotransmitters that affect mood and cognition are influenced by the nutrients, fats, and the amount of sugar we consume.
