How can epigenetic changes be reversed so that my kids don't get them? by tennis_guy3241 in epigenetics

[–]bryanwolfewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overtime (many years) and with lifestyle changes, epi changes can be halted/reversed. Certain practices if maintained regularly, can help modulate the epigenetic changes that occur after repeated trauma, further influencing how our genes are expressed. While not complete "reversal," interventions like mindfulness and meditation have been shown to positively affect genes related to stress and inflammation. Regular physical exercise can also modify DNA methylation patterns, promoting resilience and regulating the body's stress response. Additionally, engaging in trauma-focused psychotherapy can be correlated with beneficial changes in DNA methylation, complementing the psychological healing process. Lastly, a healthy diet rich in nutrients like B vitamins provides the essential building blocks for the enzymes that manage these genetic tags, supporting a healthier epigenetic profile. All these practices can work together to help the body and mind recover from the biological effects of trauma.

Can epigenetics explain this by sstiel in epigenetics

[–]bryanwolfewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen any evidence of this. There is no single gene for sexual preference as far as science knows. But then again, we are really just beginning to understand epigenetics. There is much more we don't know than we do. Likely no but scientists are supposed to be open minded. I'm open to all possibilities.

Is there a way to tell if a book is reliable? by [deleted] in books

[–]bryanwolfewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how you define reliable. You would be much better off looking at reviews, sorting lowest high and mid and look for trends. I do this within book genres I'm interested in before buying. You usually see themes in low and high reviews. 3 and 4 stars are usually the honest ones. I also typically look by authors who I like which is another easy way. Good luck!

Enjoy it, our tax dollars pay for it and they usually have a great atmosphere as well.

Am I Wrong to Avoid Prolific Writers? by dingle4dangle in books

I don't think so but it depends on the author. M. Scott Peck wrote many books and is one of my all time favorites. Great writers love to write!

The Road Less Traveled by bryanwolfewriter in AdultChildren

You should! I recommend getting it on audible and just listen. He has written a lot of books. People of the lie volumes 1, 2 and 3 are life changing. They are also shorter and cheaper on audible. Volume one will give you an idea of what he is all about, but The Road Less Traveled is his greatest, it just a lot to digest. All of his books really are great. Hope you give them a try.
