Nutrition from the right foods is one of the most potent ways to support your genes and brain function, no matter what DNA you inherited—unlucky or not.
This understanding comes from the latest science on epigenetics, which teaches us that our genes can be healthy or sick, just like we can. They are exquisitely sensitive to how we treat them, which can be reflected in our behavioral patterns, including addictive tendencies.
