Your genes are not a prison, they’re a roadmap. In this episode, Dr. Mark Sherwood unpacks how stress, trauma, and environment—not just DNA—shape your long-term health and healing.

Have you ever felt afraid to learn what your genes say about you?

You’re not alone—but here’s the truth: your DNA isn’t destiny. It’s a draft. And in this week’s powerful conversation with Dr. Mark Sherwood, you’ll learn how to rewrite that draft every day through your lifestyle, mindset, and even peptide-based medicine.

Dr. Sherwood shares how environmental stress, trauma, and cortisol can shut down healthy gene expression and what to do instead. We also explore the most misunderstood SNPs (like MTHFR and APOE4), the hype around direct-to-consumer testing, and how personalized medicine is evolving into a future powered by proteomics and peptides.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

Why knowing your genes isn’t the problem - misusing them is
How trauma and stress suppress your body's ability to heal at the cellular level
What peptide-based therapies and proteomic testing mean for the future of personalized wellness

Your genes might explain your tendencies, but they don’t dictate your outcomes.
