Epigenome Programming

Meaning

Epigenome programming refers to the clinical and lifestyle-based strategies used to modify the chemical tags on DNA and associated proteins (histones), thereby regulating gene expression without altering the underlying genetic code itself. In the context of hormonal health, this means actively influencing which genes, including those for hormone receptors, synthesis enzymes, and metabolic pathways, are turned “on” or “off.” This is a key focus in precision longevity medicine to optimize cellular function and mitigate age-related decline.
