“ the discovery of the code of the human genome, and the recognition that our function is determined by much more than just our genome is a revolution and thinking. Space our health and disease patterns after infancy are not “hardwired“ deterministically by our genes, but rather a consequence of the interaction of genetic uniqueness with environmental factors. our experiences wash over our genes to give rise overtime to how we look, act, feel, and our disease pattern. This is truly a change in thinking about the origin of disease that requires a similarly bold change and how we treat disease.” Dr. Jeffrey Bland.
