Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier
Optimize your health and boost your longevity with scientifically validated practices customized (for you!) to directly influence your gene expression and revitalize your wellbeing at every level.
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.
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-module 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.
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 join Ken for this health-optimizing, longevity- boosting seven modules, you’ll:
- Receive expert guidance in interpreting your epigenetic profile and creating a lifestyle plan to optimize it
- Find out which parts of your genes you have the most influence over
- Learn about the 7 basic pathways in the body that translate your genetic expression into the biochemistry of either health or illness
- Discover your own individual, distant early warning signs of excessive stress that can lead to illness
- Experience meditation as an immediate stress reliever with an advanced practice that includes visualization to enhance healing of the body, mind, and spirit
- Explore research on adept meditators who can control pain, bleeding, and infection with this powerful practice
- Understand the microbiome, or trillions of cells that govern your health and moods
- Examine antioxidants with specific dietary recommendations and identify top antioxidant foods for healthy aging and longevity
- Learn about the most significant trends in the aging of the population in the USA and globally
- Explore the most promising “life extension” products — including nutraceuticals — and services and practices to extend your life
- Understand the importance of having a sense of purpose to promote longevity
- Explore ways to incorporate physical activity, dancing, and healthy sexuality into your advanced years
- And much more…
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 modules 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.
“Dr Pelletier was wonderful: kind, knowledgeable, and a great presenter.”
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.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part online training, Ken will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully optimize your unique genetic profile and health to promote a long and healthy life
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Ken. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to interpret your epigenetic profile and create a lifestyle plan to optimize it.
Module 1: Discover the Keys to Optimizing Your Genetic Expression For Health, Happiness & Longevity
Gain an up-to-date overview of the astounding revolution in genetics. This powerful information can change your understanding of your health and longevity.
You’ll learn powerful practices for managing stress, following personalized dietary guidelines, exercising consistently, and being mindful of the relationships you foster…
…to alter your genetic expression and optimize your health and longevity — and even break the cycle of a longstanding family health issue. It does not have to be yours, too!
In this class, you’ll:
- Explore the newest scientific findings in epigenetics
- Discover the positive influences of various healthcare systems throughout the world on genetic expression
- Learn practical, applicable steps for optimizing your genetic expression
- Find out which parts of your genes you have the most influence over
- Learn about fascinating medical studies done on twins and how their varying lifestyle choices influenced their genetic expressions
- Gain an initial overview of the practical steps you’ll take to optimize your genetic expression over the next 7 sessions
Module 2: Translate Your Genetics Into Health & Longevity With the 7 Pathways to Your Optimal Health
Learn about the seven basic pathways in the body that translate your genetic expression into the biochemistry of either health or illness. You’ll learn how to regulate and influence each pathway to optimize your epigenetic profile.
In this class, you’ll learn about:
- Methylation: The pathway that provides an operating manual for good cells to replicate. Optimal methylation positively influences neurotransmitter production, detoxification, fat metabolism, cellular energy, and more.
- Inflammation: “All inflammation causes disease” is a myth. What is healthy inflammation and what isn’t — and how can you reduce the latter to prevent disease and feel your best?
- Oxidative Stress: Every cell needs oxygen to burn nutrients for fuel. Unhealthy stress, poor diet, and other factors can lead to excessive, damaging oxidative stress. Antioxidants in plants in the form of vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, and more help you fight back against “free radicals” caused by oxidative stress — and keep you healthy.
- Detoxification: Your body needs to detoxify from environmental and food toxins. Yet, “flushing out the body” can be as problematic as eating bad foods. Intermittent fasting can help you reset your body’s natural reboot, lose weight, decrease cholesterol and insulin in your blood, and lessen the amount of unhealthy inflammation in your body.
- Immunity: The key isn’t to boost your immunity, but rather to create a balanced immune system so your body can do what it’s meant to: protect against bacteria, viruses, toxins, and other influences. Your overall wellbeing, from your energy levels to the complexion of your skin, is influenced by a balanced immune system.
- Lipid Metabolism: Metabolizing healthy fats influences gene expression and the production of healthy cells. Discover which fats are good for you and how to raise or lower your metabolic levels based on your health biomarkers.
- Mineral/Micronutrient Metabolism: Zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, also known as micronutrients, govern a great deal of your health. Discover which are essential for optimal cell functioning, how much of them your body needs, and the exact foods containing these vital micronutrients.
Module 3: Explore the Mind-Body Connection & Profound Ways to Alleviate Stress, Positively Influence Cellular Regeneration & Extend Longevity
The single most direct impact on our genes — both negative and positive — is stress. Fortunately, we’re not passive victims of the causes of stress, whether it comes from our external environment or internal world.
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).
Ken will also walk you through breakthrough research from UCSF and Harvard that reveals how you can destress AND change your gene expression through meditation in less than 20 minutes.
In this class, you’ll:

A Key Chapter on the Microbiome From Change Your Genes, Change Your Life
PDF of Chapter 7 From Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier’s book
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.
What Graduates of Ken’s Courses Are Saying…
“Dr. Pelletier was an engaging speaker and certainly has a thorough knowledge of epigenetics.”
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!
