Episode Overview
- Nervous system dysregulation affects genetic expression through oxidative stress.
- Lifestyle changes can help manage oxidative stress and improve health outcomes.
- Antioxidants play a key role in protecting DNA from oxidative damage.
- Emotional and nervous system health are crucial for managing genetic risks.
- Hope exists for those with genetic conditions through nervous system regulation.
"Two sisters can have the same BRCA gene, and one gets breast cancer and one doesn't."
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of The Biology of Trauma™ with Dr. Aimie Apigian tackles a unique angle on genetic health conditions, focusing on the BRCA gene mutation and its relationship with nervous system dysregulation. Rachel from Texas poses a question that many might find themselves asking: Why do two people with the same genetic mutation experience vastly different health outcomes? Dr.
Aimie sheds light on this by exploring how oxidative stress, influenced by nervous system states, plays a critical role in genetic expression. With engaging anecdotes and a sprinkle of scientific jargon, Dr. Aimie explains why one sibling with the BRCA mutation might develop breast cancer while another remains healthy. Dr. Aimie highlights the importance of nervous system regulation in managing oxidative stress, which in turn affects DNA expression.
The episode also delves into practical steps for incorporating antioxidants and lifestyle changes to support a healthier nervous system. The discussion is both educational and supportive, offering hope to those who feel at the mercy of their genetics. As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this episode is especially timely, offering insights that could change how we view genetic predispositions. If you're looking to understand the connection between trauma, stress, and genetic health, this episode offers a fresh perspective.
It might just inspire you to consider how your own lifestyle and emotional health could be impacting your genetic expression. Are you ready to take charge of your health destiny?
