Conventional wisdom has long held that the genetic cards you inherent are yours for life—for better or worse. Despite what we’ve been told, we are not prisoners of our DNA.
Dr. Mark Pettus provides recent, compelling evidence that your genes are actually quite malleable, and that human beings are designed to change and adapt in response to our environment. How you bathe your DNA in food, love, stress, play and work ultimately influences your health now, and in the future! As one great Yogi [Berra] from the 20th century reminds us…”the future ain’t what it used to be.”
Dr. Mark Pettus is the Chief of Medicine at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany, NY. He is former Chief of Staff, Associate Chair of the Department of Medicine and the Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at Berkshire Medical Center. He is the author of two books: The Savvy Patient: The Ultimate Advocate For Quality Health Care and It’s All in Your Head: Change Your Mind, Change Your Health, and Change Your Life. Dr. Pettus has appeared on numerous TV and Radio venues nationally including Good Morning America, NPR and PBS.
