“The mapping of the human genome was truly one of the greatest scientific undertakings of the past century, detailing with incredible accuracy the blueprint of our species. It also paved the way for the field of epigenetics, which has shown that when it comes to our genes, nurture is inextricably linked with nature. Dr. Pelletier, a true pioneer in mind-body medicine and integrative health research, makes a compelling case for why understanding our own unique genetic make-up can allow us to each make lifestyle and medical choices that can truly alter the trajectory of our lives. Scientifically based, informative, and thought-provoking.” —Tieraona Low Dog, MD, Professor of Medicine, University of New Mexico School of Medicine; Author, National Geographic’s Fortify Your Life

“Dr. Pelletier’s “Change Your Genes-Change Your Life” will revolutionize the belief that we are inexorably controlled by our genes, and provide the same opportunity for redefining health as his landmark book “Mind as Healer-Mind as Slayer” did for the body-mind revolution in 1977”. — Jeffrey Bland, PhD, FACN, FACB, President, Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute

 

“So you think health is all in your genes? Think again. It in your epigenes! Dr. Pelletier once again show he is a master translator of this complex science into the simple and useable. Read it. Use it.” — Wayne Jonas, MD , Executive Director, Samueli Integrative Health Programs; Former Director, Office of Alternative Medicine at the NIH; author of How Healing Works

“Dr. Pelletier has been a trusted colleague for many years as well as an inspiration on the journey for health and wellness. In this book he has tackled the difficult subject of genomics and given us all hope that we still have control over our destinies as they relate to health. The introduction of any new technology requires the science to mature in order to provide a more complete understanding of its relevance and appropriate use. Dr. Pelletier has taken this information and broken it down into an interesting, informative read complete with advice on optimizing our own health. I am confident readers will walk away from this ground-breaking book reassured that lifestyle and environmental changes can make a big difference in each of our lives.” — K. Andrew Crighton, MD, Past Chairman of the Health Enhancement Research Organization

“Not only does this book provides a scientific basis for our ability to shape our health trajectories through belief and lifestyle choices, but it also outlines the emerging power of personalized medicine.

“Dr. Pelletier continues in his visionary streak of anticipating and informing people about critical emerging trends in health promotion. In this newest book, he turns his sights on understanding the potential of lifestyle choices on changing the expression of the genes that shape our health. It is refreshing to see precision medicine focused on lifestyle change as an underappreciated complement to the development of pharmaceuticals. The book distills the complexities of genetics and metabolism into easy-to-understand concepts, metaphors, and examples that make these often arcane topics accessible and applicable to practical health improvement solutions.” —David S. Sobel, MD, MPH, Adjunct Lecturer, Stanford University School of Medicine; Former Director of Patient Education and Health Promotion, Kaiser Permanente Northern California; author of The Mind & Body Health Handbook

“I found genetics to be the most complex subject in medical school. Now, fifty years later, the field is one hundred times more complicated. But leave it to Kenneth Pelletier to once again not only tackle the importance of this rapidly evolving field but, as with his other timely books, to make the practical application of these breakthroughs easy to understand for most readers. No one does it better.” —Steven E. Locke, MD, Associate Clinical, Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Chief Medical Officer, iHope Network
