In this eye-opening episode of Health Without the System, Dr. Tim Scott and Nurse Practitioner Mia Scott take you on a deep dive into the science of epigenetics—where your health story isn’t just written in your DNA, but in the choices you make every single day. Broadcasting from their Ohio farm (and yes, dodging a heat wave and a few chickens), they unpack how diet, environmental toxins, stress, movement, and even your childhood experiences can influence which of your genes get activated—and which stay dormant.
You’ll learn what epigenetics actually is, why the MTHFR gene mutation gets so much attention, and how methylation, histone modification, and microRNA function in the body. Dr. Tim and Mia break it all down into simple, relatable terms, showing how these cellular mechanisms impact everything from energy, mood, and detoxification to fertility, chronic inflammation, and mental clarity.
Whether you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, hormone issues, or just want to understand how to prevent disease and feel better in your body—this episode delivers the information you didn’t know you needed. You’ll walk away with practical, actionable tips on how to "clean up" your genes with lifestyle shifts, better nutrition, non-toxic living, and smarter supplementation.
If you've ever been told “your labs are normal” but you still feel off—this one’s for you. Your genes may load the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger. Dr. Tim and Mia are here to help you put the safety back on.
