We all want to live long and happy lives…
… yet most of us are not taking advantage of the scientifically proven ways we can influence our own genetic expression — and future — to boost our wellbeing, quality of life, and longevity.
Epigenetics is the science of the ways your daily activities — from what you eat to how you exercise to your spiritual practice — directly influence your genes. Basically, what we think and how we live create feedback loops that up-regulate or down-regulate certain genes.
(In this life-enhancing course, you’ll have access to a discounted assay test for blood biomarkers to help you customize your influence on your epigenetics in clearly targeted, personalized ways.)
Current science estimates that we actually have the capability to influence more than 90% of our genetic expression through our lifestyle choices and mindset. Your genes are not your destiny!
When you understand how to make epigenetics work for YOU, you can begin to do seemingly miraculous things such as improve your memory, increase bone regeneration, enhance your immune system, and revitalize your health and wellbeing at every level — even greatly extend your lifespan. And share your discoveries — and a more vibrant you — with those you love!
In this 7-week online program with integrative medicine pioneer and epigenetics expert Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier, you’ll dispel the media myths and avoid expensive genetic testing services (which often are more hype than hope) to learn exactly how to optimize your unique genetic profile and health to promote a long and healthy life.
You’ll even have the opportunity to purchase a greatly discounted InsideTracker Essentials Assay Test that uses blood biomarker analysis and science-backed guidance to provide the tools you need to optimize your health and longevity from the inside out.
(Purchase is not required, yet test results can help you zero in on your unique genetic expression. Either way, you’ll receive valuable personal guidance from Ken throughout the seven weeks.)
Ken will show you that the key is focusing on the 40 or 50 biomarkers (measurable indicators in DNA health tests) that hold the highest levels of prediction.
He’ll cover how your body’s unique biomarkers can present some surprising information about which foods are ideal for your genetics.
This information will open the door to truly “personalized” medicine and allow you to skip over the trial-and-error cycles of testing various diets that are ultimately unsuccessful — because they weren’t compatible with your personal biochemistry.
When you have this powerful new information about your genes, you can then customize ALL your lifestyle choices to become the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself.
You’ll learn about the seven basic pathways in the body that translate your genetic expression into the biochemistry of either health or illness. Most importantly, you’ll discover how to regulate and influence each pathway with every choice you make.
To really understand your own genetic makeup, you need to know how these pathways work... and most of all, how you can regulate them.
You’ve certainly heard a lot about inflammation and detoxification, for example.
This life-enhancing seven weeks with Ken will also provide you with easily accessible ways to alleviate stress, which has the single most direct impact on our genes — both negative and positive.
You’ll learn how to identify which types of stress are short-term and necessary for our daily functioning (also known as Type 1 stress), and which kinds of stress are long-term and damaging (Type 2 stress).
You’ll learn about breakthrough research from UCSF and Harvard that reveals how you can destress AND change your gene expression through meditation in less than 20 minutes a day.
Peer-reviewed scientific studies confirm that you can create your own reality through your biology — by systematically and deliberately triggering specific processes in your genes.
Each thought you have signals your brain to create new neural connections. You can learn to use this power consciously and direct the formation of the neural tissue, which leads to substantial brain changes.
Over time, your brain becomes habituated to process the signals of optimal health — reshaping your experience of reality, and your life.
With the emerging field of epigenetics, you can take your health into your own hands — to lose weight, address chronic conditions, break the legacy of genetic diseases you've thought were your fate, boost longevity, and more.
Dr. Pelletier is a clinical professor of medicine at the UCSF School of Medicine and former clinical professor of medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine.
It’s incredibly rare to have the opportunity for a celebrated leader in the field of epigenetics to mentor you through the process of interpreting your epigenetic profile and creating a lifestyle plan to optimize it.
This was a fabulous course! Easy to follow with a mix of great research as well as practical ways to positively influence your epigenetics. Dr Pelletier was wonderful: kind, knowledgeable, and a great presenter. Highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to take charge of their health and happiness.

At the publication of the original edition in 2019, many of the early findings on epigenetics and lifestyle were speculation, but now they are accepted as solid scientific facts. In particular, we know a great deal more about the extremely important role of the microbiome, or intestinal tract, in immunity, intelligence, digestive health, and even brain chemistry. This chapter covers the exciting new findings in these areas and more.
This was an incredibly helpful and informative course. What really made it come alive was having the ability to participate in the genetic assay tests and to have representatives from both Day Two and DNAFit available to explain the company focus, how to understand the information received in the test report, and how to make use of their app. Dr. Pelletier was an engaging speaker and certainly has a thorough knowledge of epigenetics. His presentations were great! I found the whole experience fascinating and gained much more than I had expected. On a practical note, the information supplied by Day Two has been tremendously helpful for learning how to keep my blood sugar stable and for offering a way to adjust my diet without feeling that I have to eliminate any foods. This was one of the most practical and beneficial courses I’ve ever taken. My thanks to Dr. Pelletier and the faculty for a superb job!
