'Epigenetic pioneer' Ben Lynch examines the role that our genetic code plays in our health and suggests how we can keep our genes 'clean,' healthy, and free from the 'blemishes' they gather throughout our lives.

Our genes define who we are. They make up our DNA and can play a huge part in the health of our bodies and minds as we age.

But our genes do not define our health, and according to naturopath Ben Lynch, we can influence them just as much as they influence us by maintaining good genetic health.

In his 2018 book, Dirty Genes, Lynch explains how our genes can become 'dirty' over time, and how this can affect us. He also shares tips on the best ways to have a clean bill of genetic health.
