Your epigenome is the map your cells use to access your DNA; it decides which genes are active and which ones are not in a dynamic way, constantly changing in response to environmental, dietary, and lifestyle influences. Utilizing several processes like DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and non-coding RNA, your genes are switched on and off. These changes are not always favorable, since exposure to pollutants, bad habits, sedentary lifestyles, and poor diets will compromise your epigenome, activating disease-causing genes and silencing essential ones; for that reason, the origin of most chronic, age-related conditions like diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and cancer can be traced back, at least in part, to harmful epigenetic changes that accumulate over time. But the good news is these changes are reversible; this is where Epigenetic Enhancement Therapy (EET) comes in.

What is EET?

Epigenetic Enhancement Therapy is a new, promising medical approach that is actively changing the way we perceive medicine. While traditional medicine focuses on treating the symptoms of diseases after they appear, EET prevents them before they start. It is a set of interventions designed to optimize your epigenome. These interventions range from simple lifestyle changes like:

1. Regular exercise will unlock your body’s full potential.
2. A healthy, rich diet supports your overall health.
3. Ditching destructive habits like smoking and excessive drinking to avoid harmful changes to your epigenome.

to more complex approaches like:

1. Targeted gene therapy, which uses advanced techniques to directly influence gene expression and even edit short sequences of certain areas of genes, is particularly promising for cancer treatment.
2. Epigenetic drugs that target the rate of gene methylation and acetylation are useful for cancer therapy, and they are being explored for neurological and autoimmune disease treatment.

These interventions modify gene expression without changing their sequence by influencing the methylation of DNA and histone acetylation. EET aims to enhance the expression of genes responsible for cell repair, performance, and cognitive function while suppressing genes linked to inflammation and age-related diseases, expanding health and longevity.

The connection between EET and personalized medicine.

Just as each one of us has a unique genetic code, our epigenome is also distinct, shaped by our different lifestyles and environments. To maximize the effectiveness of EET, interventions must be tailored to fit your epigenetic profile. That’s exactly what we do; we utilize precise, science-based epigenetic tests to map your epigenome and find what works best for you. These epigenetic tests include:

• Biological age tests use DNA methylation to estimate biological age and aging trajectory and assess potential risks of age-related diseases. Unlike chronological age, your biological age reflects how your lifestyle choices are changing your body at the molecular level.
• Disease-specific epigenetic panels screen for epigenetic markers associated with different diseases like neurological disorders, rare genetic syndromes, and cancer. For example, if a test detects high levels of methylation markers, this could mean that your tumor-suppressor genes are silenced, increasing cancer risk. This insight warrants interventions like whole-body MRIs and other screening tests that detect tumors at early stages, making their treatment easier or preventing them altogether.
• Environmental toxins panels: These are a series of tests that detect exposure to different toxins in your environment. They are useful to identify what’s exactly messing with your epigenome for you to avoid it and remove it from your environment in the detoxifying process. They include:

1. Heavy metals and toxic elements tests look for lead, mercury, and arsenic in your blood, urine, and hair.
2. Pesticides and chemical toxin panels screen for harmful chemicals that get in your food.
3. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) panels evaluate exposure to chemicals that disrupt your hormones, like phthalates, bisphenol A, and phytoestrogen.

The detoxifying strategy that suits you best depends on which environmental toxin you are exposed to; for example, we use chelation therapy, natural binders, and glutathione when you’re exposed to heavy metals, but if exposure to EDCs is your concern, we prefer using DIM and other natural detox strategies like sweat-based detox through sauna and exercise, curcumin, and cruciferous vegetables.

Our skilled and experienced healthcare team utilizes these tests to ensure that you get the best possible plan that’s personalized to your specific needs, which will diminish your risk of getting most chronic diseases and help reverse the damage if you already have one, making sure that you live as long and healthy as possible.

Whether you want to boost your energy, sharpen your mind, or simply live a longer, healthier life, Epigenetic Enhancement Therapy is the answer. EET is giving you control over your future; will you take it?
