Publisher's summary

A leading expert in epigenetics - how genes switch on and off - provides a revolutionary, holistic, and personalized approach to better health by improving how your genes behave to prevent and reverse common ailments, chronic illnesses, and life-threatening diseases, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and more.

Your genes have a tremendous impact on your health. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Ben Lynch reveals that while you can't change the genes you were born with, you can change how they affect you.

When your genes are working properly, you feel energized and healthy. But when your genes are "dirty", or not functioning optimally, your health suffers. Some genes are "born dirty" - they have certain variations that can cause you problems. Other genes merely "act dirty" in response to your environment, diet, or lifestyle. You can optimize both types of dirty genes by cleaning them up through healthy eating, good sleep, stress relief, environmental detox, and other holistic and natural means.

An experienced researcher in the emerging science of gene abnormalities who has successfully treated thousands of clients, Dr. Lynch offers a simple questionnaire to identify which of the top seven dirty genes could be undermining your health. Then he offers targeted plans - including foods and recipes, supplements, and environmental detox - to clean up your dirty genes, eliminate symptoms, and optimize your physical and mental health.

Many of us have been taught that our genes doom us to the disorders that run in our families. But Dr. Lynch shows that you can rewrite your genetic destiny - once you know how. Dirty Genes provides a practical, personalized protocol to make the most of your genetic inheritance, now and for the rest of your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Eye opening book on epigenetics - Worthwhile Read!

Book is eye opening. This books explains how you genes can get dirty or how you can change your environmental factors to alleviate dirty genes. I've bought all 3 versions - hardcover, Kindle and audiobook.

The book refers to a reference file called "the enhancement" that is not yet loaded on audible.com. It is supposed to contain additional information, checklist and recipes, etc. Looking forward to the publisher to post the PDF file.

I would recommend that other audiobook reviewers hold off of putting a negative review because the PDF has not been loaded yet. The publisher has been notified to correct issue.

Such a good summary for general health

I found this book to hit all of the major components for health. Even though Dr Lynch is big on Snps, the book is not really focused on that. It focuses more on General Health. It does not offer quick fixes but would not be overwhelming for beginners. Someone just starting on their health Journey could benefit from this book. but it's also an excellent summary even for someone more advanced and knowledgeable on current health trends. it's not super long but gives you tools to dig deeper for those who wish to do that. genetic testing before reading the book might would be helpful, but again he doesn't focus on the snps. you could absolutely benefit from this book without ever having your genetic testing done. Possibly equally as much.

Wonderful!

A wonderful & detailed explanation --yet in understandable layman's terms, for those seeking to understand their genetic make-up. I bought the hardcopy, as well. As a board certified doctor of natural medicine who has just begun my journey down this path, I found Dr. Lynch's book to be a fabulous and solid introduction.

This Book is a Must Read !!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Dirty Genes to be better than the print version?
I am a believer ! The Human Auditory system is truly amazing. Thanks to Audible. The Imaginary through ears then reach out Brain? It’s Cool. The DNA book is so easy to follow by reading as listening through Audible. I use lots of Reading Books thru this Audible. Not only I can save my time but I can comprehend better and quickly.Clearly it seems my Sensory Gene seems effecting. I use this tool while I workout, walking and Driving etc ....

What an Awesome Tool !!! Thank you ! Reading Books thru Our Ears are best tool ever and I am loving it ! I believe in Neurosciences. Skills to connect Ear to Brain :)

What other book might you compare Dirty Genes to and why?
At first, What a Powerful Book to read.I almost felt like new learning @Genes will Not Lie “. Everyone has Polymorphism (++) We all got it. Ben’s idea is Let’s band aide, let’s Not turn on Switch if we got alert. I wish I knew this book 25years ago. Because, I was nearly died at NYU by Dr given’s Pain Meds calls NSADs. My body does not have Good Ability to break theese meds down in Liver( genetically @P450 ). I had No idea that time, but I’ve asked my 6 Drs at NYU. The bill was $275k. Today wil, be a half million dollar ! Yikes…..

Why aren’t we running genetic testing more? Today we can know. I highly recommend you to know your genes. when we are Born into this Earth ? I simply thought ‘ Why aren’t we trying Any of DNA Tests, My needs were PharmachoGenetic Testing would have saved a year of my life. if you are going to become a Mom or a Dad ?don’t you wish a healthy babies ??
I had 106 lb, dropped to 83lb. One after one Visiting Drs who could not identified my illness. 8 hospitals, straight 7 days, 101-1-2 f fever. luckily I was saved. Truly lucky not having eye blind, brain injury but many had does by my disease. I Could Not Walk by my Feet after a week later. The cytokine storm, I had encountering….

I had 6 drs my sides. All these Drs said to me I got a Miracle. Most people die from this disease or lose eye sights or brain injury. If I known a little of Genetics, it could have saved tons. I absolutely believe that I could have avoid this miserable experience. I had to do rehabilitation from 1.2.3 of Walking. Thankfully, Remembered ABC. If I known My Detox Gene, I believe that illness was Avoidable….these are my real personal life.

So, why I recommend this book ? It’s a begging of Preventions in modern life. It is about wealth of information for you and your family to start understanding our life can protect, prevent and proactive we can become using tools like this. I was actually shock to use these tools are really available today. Have you seen Gene Drs ? It’s connecting dots to this book. We must accept and to the understanding about Health's " Root Cause " is important today. because, our Climates are changing faster and I really wish our children to be living easy life and joyful life, Not harder life…

It is absolutely astonishingly changed a way of thinking @" My Medicines & My Diet "and I remember Dr.Bruce Lipton at Stanford Dr He talks about Stress could change our Gene. I highly highly recommend you to open it too. These 3 merge perfectly. It’s Not because somebody else recommended Keto, or Fasting is good for uou ? No…it’s your gene can tell you if it’s better for you or May not good for you and I. For the truth is this is the Individualized Bio-Medicine we shall learn, the message is in this book Ben send us to understand how valuable and worth ….

Thank you for Awesome Mind Blowing.

I recommend this book to : You, if you have Brain Fog, Depressed or ADHD like me ? Or being Bit depressed? Hard cranky PMS or you got COVID or May not but recent flu made you some down fall and seems that body is acting long haulers? If answers are 2 yes, then We can and we must to know some of our weakness. So that we can do something Correct way or better ways and not like in a big maze we wondered. are you a person who Cannot get energy Spark, or Newly Mom & Healthy Babies ? or If you are like me went thru hell by Meds allergy, Fpod allergy, MASTCELL ? These wired names anyone given to you ? " Why is my medical doctors aren't fixing my illness after 5 Drs 8 Meds ? " this is how I became myself to a Practitioner too. Near the Death Exp has obviously changed my mind and my life in Grateful, that’s why I run DNA test. The result to Much more accurate Directions we can know.Preventive to Management, we can know by Genes.it isn’t all. But we just started.

By the way, many of lives were able changed too by today. I never wish anyone to go through what I have gone through. The 1 med / The 1 nutrient / won't fit everyone ".

This experience, I run DNA Tests and Pharmacogenetics tests.

Within this book, if anyone seeks Dementia Alz Prevention ? a Big discover was " Brain & Folate B9 Connection like twilight zone map".it was absolutely a big help to my first Brain Fog ! it was scarcely, frighten but I was lucky to profound these amazing nutrients " Folate, B12, GSH " - I call Brain Cocktail Combination. Or more so Like Mitochondrial Cocktails. Don’t forget PPC Choline. PhosphatidylCholine. It’s gene support too. 🤭 I Truly believe that we can prevent or to delay Dementia to Degenerative nerve diseases.


Thank you so so much for Reading through ….

Riko

🙏😉



Any additional comments?

Ps. Search : " Deplin Ingredients " iDeplin Folate Pathway. You be surprised what you discover. Open a Map. If anyone who is depressed, Worth checking. If you are/have Depressed etc ... then Search " Folate gene, B12 and Glutathione (NAC)". then watch Youtube " Ghost in Your Genes". I bet your Skin will be chilled as I did ! My brain was absolutely stunning by these :) FolateGene MTHFr of 677 & 1298. Worth checking with MTRR. Then go back Deplin. Compare it.
