- NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for medical advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and interpretation of epigenetics, lifestyle, and generational trauma.

How can identical twins can be so different? How do our biology, environments and experiences shape our development? This introductory talk about epigenetics helps explain how all of this works. Epigenetic mechanisms are internal biological processes that allow for us, and other organisms, to change and adapt to the external world. The field is more exciting than ever, with new technologies enabling us to learn more about how epigenetics is involved in cancer, mental health, and crop science, among other scientific fields. This speaker aims to plant the seeds of curiosity into every listener with this talk, empower them with scientific knowledge, and inspire them to use this knowledge to make the world a better place. Natalia Husby is a UD alumna who studied neuroscience and behavioral epigenetics for her master's degree. She now works for EpiCypher - a biotechnology company that develops research tools for epigenetics. When she’s not nerding out over science, she enjoys reading, hiking and spending quality time with her family, friends, and dogs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Well done Natalia! As a previous classmate I just have to say I am so proud of you! I learned so much in this TED talk about Epigenetics, very well explained and very helpful for everyone to understand, and you broke it down perfectly. Thank you for this and for your contribution to your field. As a licensed clinical therapist, this was very helpful in understanding how this can also relate to mental health. I’m curious to know more. 😊Education is so important. I am very excited to see where Epigenetics and the technology can go from here. And of course… where you will go from here in your career! Well done!
OK, the very first line of epigenetic defence is lifestyle factors. Lifestyle factors are pretty much free and cannot be patented. Because they can’t be patented, researchers aren’t talking about it. There’s no money in it.
1) a vegan diet, the branch chain amino acids in animal products stimulate MTor add also contain growth hormones. We don’t want growth in cancer.
2) practice intermittent fasting, having even a 12 hour daily window of not eating decreases your risk of cancer recurrence, it’s been studied.
3) if you can do a prolonged fast, 7+ days. Have it supervised by your physician. Look at the work of Dr. Valter Longo.
4)everything should be organic, especially in the United States. Conventional food is loaded with pesticides, they are carcinogenic, and it’s an easy switch.
5) exercise, it has many biological effects on the human body that contribute to making the body inhospitable to cancer. It lowers, inflammation, combats, obesity, helps regulate hormones.
6) get your weight into the low range of a healthy BMI. Obesity contributes to cancer. Obesity is very inflammatory.
7) meditation, stress, hormones can contribute to cancer. Meditation helps control that.
8) get rid of all unhealthy relationships
9) make sure you have an actual purpose for living. Get a five year plan a 10 year plan, etc. have a future to look forward to.
10) join a community, a positive community. People who are going through what you’re going through where you can openly talk about what is really on your mind without retribution. Not a community of people who are anticipating a horrible death. A community of people who are hopeful and excited for the future. They are all over the place, on Facebook, meet ups, etc.
Great comment. It's refreshing hearing all of that and knowing that I'm doing a lot of what you said. There are a few things I need to add to my practice. Epigenetics is a fascinating topic.
