"The authors of Super Brain present a bold new understanding of our genes and how simple changes in lifestyle can boost genetic activity. The leap into "radical well-being" is a promise waiting to be fulfilled. "You are not simply the sum total of the genes you were born with," writes Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi. "You are the user and controller of your genes, the author of your biological story. No prospect in self-care is more exciting." Learning how to shape your gene activity is at the heart of this book. You will always have the genes you were born with, but genes are dynamic, responding to everything we think, say, and do. They are our strongest allies for personal transformation. The authors discuss the exciting research in epigenetics -- any process that alters gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, but these modifications in gene activity can be transmitted to daughter cells. When you make lifestyle choices that optimize how your genes behave, you can reach for a state of health and fulfillment undreamed of even a decade ago. The impact on prevention, immunity, diet, aging, and chronic disorders is unparalleled. Deepak Chopra is a pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. TIME magazine has described Dr. Chopra as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine." Rudolph Tanzi is a professor of neurology and the co-author of Super Brain with Dr. Deepak Chopra, and is the host of the Super Brain presentations on the PBS Television Network"--Provided by publisher.
