DIFFERENT WAYS OF EXERCISING MAKES YOUR GENES ‘EXPRESS’ THEMSELVES DIFFERENTLY
Posted by: | Comments
So you want to change the way you look? Maybe add more muscle, and cut fat? Or just cut fat? In this post I’m going to be breaking down how different ways of exercising literally alters the way that our genes express themselves.
So what’s up with the picture below? Who are they? What the significance and relevancy? Otto and Ewald are two identical German twins, but you’d never know it by looking at them. Identical twins share virtually the EXACT same genetic blueprint. So how could they look so different? Answer: genetic expression. Specifically, the different ways they exercised and how it made their SAME genetic blueprint express itself differently.

GENETIC EXPRESSION 101: THE RABBIT HOLE OF ALL RABBIT HOLES
Posted by: | Comments
This is a topic I’ve been learning a lot about lately. Frankly, it’s blowing my mind and increasing my resolve to live right: all the time. In this post I just want to expose people to the emerging science of genetic expression. I’ve never claimed to be a scientist, but these understandings have helped me in unspeakable ways and I want to pass them along. This is just an intro, and I’ll be going into more depth in future posts. I would like to thank Mark Sisson for introducing me to this rabbit hole.
We hear a lot about genes, genetic dispositions, nature vs. nuture, etc. Limited understanding around genetics can create ALOT of limiting beliefs for yourself. I hear things like this quite often “I just don’t have the genetics for it, I have fat genes,” and on and on. Well the REALITY is that our genes are NOT set in stone. As more and more science has emerged around genetics, it is reinforcing the reality that WE ARE IN CHARGE. We really do control what happens in our lives. This isn’t some mumbo jumbo anymore, this is a scientific reality.
