Simple definition of Epi-genetics : "Genes may load the gun, but diet & lifestyle will pull the trigger." -Dr Rhonda Patrick, PhD

We are not living longer we dieing longer

BIG PHARMA, BIG CORP, BIG TECH, want us to be sick because the repeat customers are the best customers, money, money, money!!!

Excellent talk that is MOST IMPORTANT! I “Thank-You” for providing info I had no knowledge of + will share with others! Much appreciated!

Watching this while in pain now. God please help me.

He barely touched on epigenetics at all. He also failed to mention that epigenetics are a factor thoughtout our lives as different genes become active or inactive in response to our stresses and environment. The phenotypes of identical twins become less identical every year due to epigenetic changes. Our bodies are not fully predestined from birth as this talk seems to hint towards; it's actually the opposite. Our bodies are in constant flux and our genes have many possible ways to express themselves. Yes, the biggest changes occur before birth and the changes in childhood will be more significant than changes post-puberty, but our bodies and minds are still responsive to change throughout our lives.

内容も分かりやすいし、トークの構成も抜群！

Love it!!! This is one of the best educational video that I have heard in years. I think everyone should watch this video and learn how to improve their health. It is informative and exciting to learn about how important Geneology affects all of our lives. I needed to know about this years ago.

Education/knowledge changes the world👏 It isn't about me but about the others

Very good video ! Informative,factual and precise .Straight and unambiguous narratives help common folks like me to heed the messages being communicated by the speaker. Thank you and more success to your group !

My friends are dying in their 50's and 60's. We are killing ourselves, and don't care.

Excellent! I would also add chronic stress, trauma, anxiety, negative emotion also compromises our immunity. So some form of mindfulness, meditation, yoga is beneficial for total health along with whole nutrition and clean water.

THANX A MILLION HE HAS OPENED OUR EYES AND SAVED US N OUR NEXT GENERATION TO COME

This was a very educational video. I throughly enjoyed it!! I love that I have found a new way to think about my health and my children's health. I only wish I saw it years ago. Thank you to everyone who is doing this research. It is very essentially needed! I will spread the word as I hope others will do!!

I found that fascinating! Thanks for the layman's definition of epigenetics Dr Patrick.

Thanks a lot..That is amazing.

Ótima essa palestra. Um alerta em tanto! É hora de despertar, vamos lá pessoal!!

Each person's IS, IMMUNE SYSTEM, is unique and it reacts different to all medications. So many doctors gave me bad medication just because it worked for others.

Fascinating thoughts: "The egg that made me was nourished by my grandmother!...a two-generation effect - How you grow before you are born matters"

love his intro

Preach!

Thank you sir for such an eye opener talk .... Many mysteries unfolded with just 15 mts talk... Hat's off to you 🙏 Epigenetics rockzzz

What a great talk!

Excellent couldn’t have said it better myself

Very useful. Thank you very much

I will watch the other 4 TED speakers on this subject and maybe I will figure it out. LOL. Have a great day. :)

I love this talk. If absolutely everyone listens to this talk there is a chance things will get better

Simply awesome.

Excellent Important Health Information

Good information, thank you

Sad business indeed. Great talk.

Fascinating !

Wow ! Well worth a watch .

Time is the problem, people run after the $ and eat this fast food to kill themselves.

You can get the "oils" he is referring to ALA converted to DHA and EPA from Flax and Chia. No need to eat fish!

Great..great video sir

Amazing !

Amazing

I had a normal birthweight, but my spinal cord didn't develop as it should have, and I live with the consequences, which is chronic pain. So, even in my case, you make a point.

It is sad but the prediction of diabetes in our population is much worse than it was expected in 2015. The needed diet to correct diabetes is now known to be Low carbohydrate, no grains or refined products, healthy saturated fats, not sugar, and no seed oils.and meats that have not been subjected to fattening with grains or refined grains. He is so correct about us living longer and being less healthy is so on the money. Health care for people eating the American diet all of their lives is sky rocketing. The effect of the American diet is usually very slow in causing almost all of the chronic diseases they encounter as they age, so most of us never know what caused it.

Super Like .. Very great talk .. & very informative !!

Makes me so so sad as a type 1 diabetic. Give me a reason why I almost died multiple times as a young, seemingly healthy child? How will I be able to get pregnant without all this guilt and possible outcomes? 😢

Thank u dr P

It is very tight range, most scientific studies show no increased risk in bweight as low as 6lb

Rather simplistic and doesn't take into account the huge increase in quantity and number of environmental pollutants. Also, no mention of the chronic mystery diseases that are rising at a huge rate. So people used to not live as long, then they lived longer, but it all caught up with us and now we are dying younger of heart disease. But many people did not used to have very good diets, yet diabetes and heart disease are what grew. And of course he has to use the opportunity to sell us a dietary dogma. Not saying there is nothing here, but pretty arrogant to think we have it all figured out.

well said

I recommend a Ted Talk with Dr. Sebi. He talks about diseases as well as a diet to cure those diseases!

I live in Portland, and am willing to volunteer.

the grave yards are filled with really old people who lived much longer than anyone today.

Good talk, John Malkovich!

Chronic disease should not exist in a country with the so-called “best healthcare system in the world“.

So awesome!!😁

I’d like to know the name of the studies he talks about! Do anyone knows or can send me the links!? 🙏🏽

educational and funny at the same time. I am so glad I hit the right birth weight :)

Healthy body healthy mind

Lifespan increased....until the last 25 to 30 years or so...when death rates started exceeding birth rates. Baby Boomers will start showing as the early wave of people dying younger, generally, than their parents. I've been watching it in my family, in client's families, and others I speak with. I witness 3 generations of epigenetics happening: From the Irish potato famine immigrants included a great grandfather; boys about age 10 who experienced famine, spawn generations of male heirs who will likely develop diabetes type 2. My grandfather, and father, both developed DM2; It won't be long before we learn if my brother also develops it...because he also eats junk-food while traveling a lot ...then, his son, later. What each person experiences in their life, DOES change how genes express themselves, daily, cumulatively, into generations to come. Also, those genetic switches are not simple on/off switches...some behave more like rheostats. But his advising grains as healthy? Not these days...grains have mostly been GMO'd, contaminated with multiple rounds of poisons used to grow cosmetic, long-shelf-life 'foods'; and, other chemical exposures also are hormone interrupters--of all hormones; those and other things, all contribute to making entire populations into 'walking wounded'...heaven only knows what 60 years of increasingly intense chemicalization will cause...we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now....'tsunami' barely describes what's coming.

i like it when you said '' the egg that made me was made in my mother's.. ovary when she was in my grand's womb '' And this '' the egg that made her was made in her mothers womb when her mother was in her grand mother's womb'' you are powerful,

That is a life changing video! I have translated to my own language. How can I add the subtitle to your video?

Processed foods are all about reducing costs of production, to earn more profits, it is all about making more money. So as long as the generalized idea about more is better is replaced with the idea of enough is enough, or small is beautiful, or having more might be worse ( more food, more clatter, etc.), again as long the idea of more is better prevails, food companies will keep processing foods to be cheaper. We have to change the way we feel about what is enough.

Too much speculation. But still interesting.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made and nutrition is only one thing we can clean up. For physical health Light, water and Magnetism matter as well per Dr. Jack Kruse. And spiritually matters for both now and eternity per The Word of God.

Scary thing but true

Dr. Kent is just amazing. As a MPH student, I had an opportunity to hear him as a guest speaker in one of my classes. That was the first time I heard about epigenetics and the concept totally blew my mind.

When he said eat fish he meant actual fish, not stuff in tuna cans....

Don't understand why people that make processed foods don't make their foods better since WE KNOW THIS NOW. Why would any human continue to do something that we now know hurts everyone in a direct way or indirect way? How do they sleep?

Why isn't the baby size relative ethnically, like "small people" born "big" or "big people" born "small"?

In egg years, I'm a hundred...Funny yet interesting talk.

It isn’t just processed labeled foods that are hurting us. One more HUGE problem...glyphosate poisoning.

I really hate when a speaker doesn't state which type of diabetes they are talking about. They would only have to add two words (type one or type two) and it'd all be so much clearer.

I'm with him about eating a good diet, and about not eating processed foods, but to me that include rejecting grains and legumes and high carbs, NOT rejecting meat. Still this is four years old and re-examination of old data is proving the case against meat was biased and fiddled with and discredited and that meat is healthy and oxalates are not. Otherwise this was a really good and very enjoyable talk.

Chronic stress is the number 1 cause of premature death and chronic disease.

There is some fear mongering occurring and we should not be overly worried or concerned if we generally have healthy lifestyles.. We certainly should not tell our low or high weight birth children that they are predisposed to heart disease. All people who lack exercise and proper diet are predisposed to heart disease whether they get diabetes or not. We should be promoting healthy food to ALL of our kids no matter what their birth weight. The truth is, that if we believe we will get diseases and we fear them, we bring it into our lives. The mind is the most important instrument and is connected to the body. As we think so we are. If we think we are healthy, eat well, exercise, laugh, have meaningful relationships and activities and live with joy and with purpose following our passions we will out live most people. We are what we think we are. I’m not saying his studies are incorrect. I’m just saying there are other factors that can override them.

As someone who has inherited a gene (HLA-B27) that has given me Crohns disease and Ankylosing Spondilitis in my 20s, I have had to experiment with my diet. I have seen an obvious and dramatic change in my inflammation since I went on a very low carb ketogenic diet. Beforehand I had frequent gastro problems and lower back pain and inflammation in my hip joints so sever that some days I could not even walk. The longer I am on the diet, the more my symptoms disappear. I am mostly pain free and can move around now with little issue. Perhaps my diseases will eventually go into complete remission if I strictly stick to this diet. I am now beginning to think that my curse has actually been a blessing in disguise. If I hadn't have had such health problems I wouldn't have noticed the obvious anti-inflammatory and health benefits of going keto. Having these diseases and changing my diet probably made me healthier in the long run. Also, when on ketogenic diets the body uses the ketone beta hydroxybutyrate as fuel instead of glucose and this molecule circulates through the blood stream. It then can be readily used up by all tissues and cells in the body. Not only is this an alternative fuel for metabolism but it has also been shown to have a secondary function as an epigenetic hormone that literally has effects on gene expression. It could be entirely plausible that I am slowly turning off the HLA-B27 gene in my cells on this diet which could be one explanation for my results. It would also make sense as I lived for 25 years without Ankylosing spodilitis or crohns disease and then one day the gene must have been expressed epigenetically as a result of some combination of environmental factors. If it could be turned on, it must be possible to revert it back to being off. I am also not the only person to report this finding, many other people with the same or similar chronic diseases that doctors have told us are incurable and progressively degenerative have noted the same results when on a ketogenic diet. It's about time they seriously studied this. I predict that in a few decades they won't be administering glucose in iv drips in hospitals, but beta hydroxibuterate.

He might have gone a step further and insisted we select organic foods.

watching this right after I spent $12 on Jack in the Box...

point of correction Sir, i am seeing 1879 , but you said 1897. so i don't understand why.. may be because so time are tough still now. and not only that times were tough before the civil war...

not just processed food, but poisoned food.

Our body is a sophisticated machine..You take care of your body by living healthy lifestyle and fasting once a week and body will take care of you. Imagine how Nature wants us to live.

Great talk, but surely low birthweight could be caused by smoking during pregnancy? When the ‘Baby boomers were born in the 1950-60’s up to 30% of women smoked. Babies of women who smoke 11-40 cigarettes a day are on average 435g (1 pound) lighter than non-smokers babies. They would have been exposed to a suite of toxins in utero, so possibly this the cause of subsequent health problems.

What about the high mercury levels found in fish. Wild caught is better than farm raised fish that has parasites . That would transfer the Mercury to the the gestational baby. Rather take 3rd party lab tested omega threes and eat organic nuts , plants, some grass fed dairy, organic meats. Your own garden if you can.

I prefer meat and natural plants and I will live in a lean-to down by the river not in a care facility. Thank you

The human lifespan has always been the same. The difference is that infant mortality has reduced and the dying process has slowed down.

Answer to the first question：Probably not until it's too late.

I noticed he didn't have the courage to mention the importance of breastfeeding of children on a generational scale. That would have changed some of those cheers to jeers. Otherwise an excellent presentation. We and our unborn children need real food.! And yes I realize that breastfeeding can be a problem for some mother's. Is it any surprise we are finding poisons in most of the baby formulas, that our causing many serious problems to our children. Convenient solutions can have devastating consequences. The bottem line is we our the solution to most of these problems by the choices we make. I reversed my diabetes only after I took responsibility for my own health.

Short people and people who eat healthier are going to sometimes have lower birth weight children. I don't think the low birth weight heart disease connection can always be made.

How can a pre diabetic eat a diet full of fruits and whole grains. Don't they spike insulin?

How can I get tested? I have 13 different conditions. I am veteran. I need help.

What a beautiful presentation.

The new herbicide for soybeans is 2-4-D & banvel .because weeds are becoming resistant to roundup

I would think increased life expectancy figures are influenced by huge declines in infant mortality rather than people living longer pursea

Why is this supposedly a talk about epigenetics when it barely mentions that?

sorry , did I miss the point? Did he explain why processed food is so bad for nourishing babies?

We won't, because corporations like money. Getting rid of chronic disease would destroy a source of profit, which is the antithesis of what various aspects of the medical industry actually want to do. Most normal nurses and doctors totally want to help, but at the roots of that 'family tree' lies corporate greed, just like in any other industry. Pain, deterioration and even death are products. And until we, as a society, quit viewing them as such this will not change.

change your food......change your life and the life of the planet

I understand and it is true, however the price of medicine is outrageous...

It's slightly ironic he recommends pregnant mothers eat fish 2-3 times a week. Mercury is a major factor in epigenetics. Despite the distorted data to downplay its significance, even the WHO recommend mothers minimise fish consumption.

No mention of vaccines?

Ted Talks has become synonymous with charts based on averaged statistics.

Dr Edos on youtube channel can help on chronic disease.

what is this? how is genetics n chronic disease linked is not clear at all
