Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier – Unlock Your Epigenetics

Myths & Facts About Epigenetics

Myth: Low-fat diets are best for your health.
Fact: Diets vary by region, culture, and individual biochemistry.

Myth: A cookie creates a worse spike in blood sugar than a banana.
Fact: This varies from individual to individual. For each person the response is different, with the cookie being better in some instances.

Myth: Genes are a set of hard-wired instructions for our bodies and health like the hard drive on a computer.
Fact: Genes are actually like interactive, changeable, flexible software.

Myth: Stress is inevitable, unavoidable, and harmful.
Fact: Managing negative stress is an important skill to develop; however, some forms of stress can have a positive effect on gene expression.

Myth: We can influence our genes but not how long we will live.
Fact: We actually have a great deal of influence over our telomeres (epigenetic marker for aging) and can influence our life expectancy to a significant degree.

Myth: Influencing our genes will take many years.
Fact: Our epigenetic expression changes by minutes and hours. At maximum, our Epigenetic Profile takes 10-12 weeks to change.

Myth: Testing for our genetic profile is in its early stages and is not accurate.
Fact: There’s a great deal of hype and misleading information on the internet about genetic testing but several companies are doing this accurately, based on solid science.

During this 6-part video training, leading epigenetics expert Dr. Kenneth Pelletier will show you:

• The real science behind home DNA tests and your epigenetics
• Exactly how the revolution in genetics is meaningful for your health — and the health of your family and friends
• Leading-edge, yet practical, wisdom to empower you to become your healthiest based on your genetics
• Which parts of your genes you have the most influence over
• Why popular food plans and “healthy” diets may NOT be for you
• The 7 pathways in the body that translate your genetic expression into the biochemistry of either health or illness
• Two types of stress which have a direct impact — either negative or positive — on your gene expression
• How to create a balanced immune system so your body can do what it’s meant to: protect against bacteria, viruses, toxins, and other influences
• Simple spiritual practices that can positively influence your gene expression
• Your “Epigenetic Profile” — with personalized recommendations on stress, diet, meditation, physical activity, and environmental influences
• How to compare your Epigenetic Profile to the 12 well-researched habits of “Centenarian Communities,” where people live into their 100s in optimal health — and make changes so you can join this select group
• Why the “fact” that all inflammation causes disease is actually a myth. You’ll discover which types of inflammation causes disease and which types don’t — and how to use this knowledge to prevent disease and feel your best
• The truth about detoxification — your body needs to detoxify from environmental and food toxins, yet “flushing out the body” can be as problematic as eating bad foods. Ken will share what you should be doing instead

In this module, Ken will provide an overview of the astounding revolution in genetics. This powerful information can change your understanding of your health and longevity.

You’ll discover:

• Exactly what the revolution in genetics means for your health — and the health of your family and friends
• In-depth details about epigenetics, the new science of how our daily activities directly influence our genes
• Why your genes are NOT your destiny — and how you can change and influence the expression of your genes
• Ken’s reliable, accurate, scientifically based Epigenetic Profile that can provide you with specific recommendations on stress, diet, meditation, physical activity, environmental influences, and social support
• What biomarkers are, and whether yours are in the optimal range
• The differences between disease prediction (which is NOT what you’ll be focusing on during this course) versus healthy biomarkers (which you WILL be working with), and how you can regulate optimal health and longevity

This module will also be the perfect time in the training to order your Epigenetic Profile, a comprehensive test to help you understand which diet works for YOU — all in a turnaround time of just four to six weeks. Though ordering this profile is optional, your test results can empower you to take the fascinating concepts you’ll be learning in this course and put them into action right away, customizing them for your daily life.

Once you’ve received your test results, Ken will walk you through the most meaningful biomarkers in Module 4, a two-part module.

In this module, you’ll learn about the seven basic pathways in the body that translate your genetic expression into the biochemistry of either health or illness. You’ll then learn how to regulate and influence each pathway to optimize your Epigenetic Profile.

You’ll discover how to transform your biochemistry for optimal health through:

• Methylation: The pathway that provides an operating manual for good cells to replicate. Optimal methylation positively influences neurotransmitter production, detoxification, fat metabolism, cellular energy, and more.
• Inflammation: “All inflammation causes disease” is a myth. What is healthy inflammation and what isn’t — and how can you reduce the latter to prevent disease and feel your best?
• Oxidative Stress: Every cell needs oxygen to burn nutrients for fuel. Unhealthy stress, poor diet, and other factors can lead to excessive, damaging oxidative stress. Antioxidants in plants in the form of vitamins A, C and E, selenium, and more help you fight back against “free radicals” caused by oxidative stress — and keep you healthy.
• Detoxification: Your body needs to detoxify from environmental and food toxins. Yet, “flushing out the body” can be as problematic as eating bad foods. Intermittent fasting can help you reset your body’s natural reboot, lose weight, decrease cholesterol and insulin in your blood, and lessen the amount of unhealthy inflammation in your body.
• Immunity: The key isn’t to boost your immunity; rather, it’s to create a balanced immune system so your body can do what it’s meant to: protect against bacteria, viruses, toxins, and other influences. Your overall wellbeing, from your energy levels to the complexion of your skin, is influenced by a balanced immune system.
• Lipid Metabolism: Metabolizing healthy fats influences gene expression and the production of healthy cells. Which fats are good for you and how do you raise or lower your metabolic levels, based on your health biomarkers?
• Mineral/Micro-Nutrient Metabolism: Zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, also known as micronutrients, govern a great deal of your health. Discover which are essential for optimal cell functioning, how much of them your body needs, and the exact foods containing these vital micronutrients.

The single most direct impact on our genes — both negative and positive — is stress. Fortunately, we’re not passive victims of the causes of stress, whether it comes from our external environment or internal world.

During this fascinating class session, Ken will walk you through breakthrough research from UCSF and Harvard that reveals how you can change your gene expression through meditation in less than 20 minutes.

You’ll also discover:

• Why stress in our genes can create mutations leading to many different diseases — and how to prevent this from happening
• How to identify which types of stress are short-term and necessary for our daily functioning (also known as Type 1 stress), and which kinds of stress are long-term and damaging (Type 2 stress)
• Your own individual, distant early warning signs of excessive stress that can lead to illness
• Which parts of your genes you have the most influence over
• How to create an “Optimal Performance Zone” to generate the best level of health and performance in your daily life
• How to influence your genes using mantras and visualization practices

At this point in your journey, you’ll have a solid understanding of epigenetics and how it works. You’ll have even taken in some fascinating, high-level scientific research.

In this 2-part module, you’ll have received the results of your DNA test, and you’ll likely be wondering what it all means. Ken will be your guide as you put all your new knowledge into action over these next two sessions…

Ken will walk you through your results, help you interpret your biomarkers, and create a plan to move towards YOUR optimal levels of each one.

During this 2-part module, Ken will be your mentor as you:

• Interpret your test results, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together to reveal the details of YOUR optimal health and longevity
• Create a personalized life plan — with specific steps in each health category (meditation, dietary consumption, physical activity, details of your physical environment, and more), based on your individual Epigenetic Profile
• Interpret each of the 7 pathways highlighted in your Epigenetic Profile so you have specific next steps to take along in your journey toward optimal health and a long life
• Compare your life plan to the 12 documented and well-researched habits of “Centenarian Communities,” where people live well into their 90s and 100s in optimal health. Together, you and Ken will decide what changes to make to your life plan so you can join this select group…

As amazing as epigenetics research is today, we are only at the beginning of a revolution in optimal health and longevity.

In this final module, you’ll look over the horizon at leading-edge biotechnologies and research that will provide us with even greater opportunities to attain optimal health and longevity in the near future.

During this class, Ken shares:

• Research by NASA on Astronaut twins that provides clear and compelling evidence of the power of epigenetics
• The new blood draw technology that will eliminate the dreaded needle of blood draws and replace it with a vacutainer that painlessly draws a blood sample through the skin in under 45 seconds
• The emerging realm of Nanotechnology — the biotechnology of the ultra-small — we’ll see ingestible computers the size of the head of a pin. They can travel through your intestinal tract to transmit 30-40 biomarkers of your hormones, stress cycles, sleep patterns, and other biomarkers so you can KNOW the immediate impact of your diet, exercise, and stress levels

Together, as you, Ken, and your fellow students arrive at this truly empowering point in your journey, you’ll know so much more about who you are as a vibrant, evolving, unique, complex human. You’ll be fluent in an array of biochemistry to guide you in your daily choices toward a life of optimal health and longevity.

In this video dialogue, Dr. Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and provocative look at the developing science around the connection between the mind and the gut. His findings teach us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies.

Dr. Emeran Mayer is the Executive Director of the Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress, and Co-director of the CURE: Digestive Diseases Research Center at UCLA. As one of the pioneers and leading researchers in the role of mind-brain-body interactions in health and chronic disease, his scientific contributions to U.S. national and international communities in the broad area of basic and translational enteric neurobiology with wide-ranging applications in clinical GI diseases and disorders is unparalleled. Most recently he has focused on several new areas of brain-gut interactions, including the role of food addiction in obesity, the role of the brain in inflammatory bowel disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and on the role of the gut microbiota in influencing brain structure and function.

Ken chose Dr. Robert Rountree for this video dialogue because he is really the master of integration of the big to the small, of the global to the individual. We have gotten to a place in microbiology where there’s a bit of a paranoia about microbes and what’s out there because we tend to think that most of them are bad. If we can change people’s attitudes toward microbes and stop thinking, well, you’ve got to sterilize everything, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to nuke all you food so that you don’t, God forbid, get exposed to bad things, then we can change our whole relationship to microbes. This is especially true for the gut, for the nose, for the lungs, realizing that most of these microbes are acting in a friendly way and that we really need them — we desperately need them.

Robert Rountree, MD, received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill in 1980. He subsequently completed a 3-year residency in family and community medicine at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, after which he was certified by the American Board of Family Practice. He’s a diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. He has augmented his training with extensive postgraduate studies in nutritional and herbal pharmacology along with certification as a master practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming. Dr. Rountree has provided his unique combination of traditional family medicine, nutrition, herbology, and mind-body therapy in Boulder, CO, since 1983. He has recently opened Boulder Wellcare, a private practice specializing in individual healthcare consulting. He is coauthor of three books on integrative medicine, Immunotics: A Revolutionary Way to Fight Infection, Beat Chronic Illness, and Stay Well; Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child; and A Parent’s Guide to Medical Emergencies.

In this article from Alternative and Complementary Therapies, the leading journal delivering practical and evidence-based research on integrating alternative medical therapies and approaches into private practice or hospital integrative medicine programs, Dr. Pelletier and Dr. Roundtree discuss the compelling topic of healing with the mind.

You’ll receive a series of in-depth, academic articles from Dr. Kenneth Pelletier which are wonderful for those who want to delve into the compelling scientific research which Ken has published. He and his colleagues have been able to demonstrate, among other things, that we can reduce our chances of getting degenerative diseases if we commit ourselves to managing stress effectively. The evidence provided in his research also demands a call to action to increase awareness of effective nonpharmacologic treatments for pain, and to train healthcare practitioners and administrators in this evidence base. You’ll also receive an article which helps in sorting fact from fiction in the realm of conventional vs. integrative medicine.

You’ll receive the following articles from Ken:

• Conventional and Integrative Medicine: Evidence Based? Sorting Fact From Fiction
• Mind Matters: Turn Off Genetic Vulnerabilities by Reducing Stress
• Evidence-Based Nonpharmacologic Strategies for Comprehensive Pain Care
