On today's episode, Karen Hurd joins Luis to discuss epigenetics:  the study of how our behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way our genes work.

They parse apart the difference between DNA and genetic makeup, and the way the DNA translates, due to the foods we eat and the habits we practice. Karen highlights how sugar, caffeine, and perfumes and fragrances are so ubiquitous, and have the biggest impacts.
