The Silent Fire Behind Chronic Disease—and How to Put It Out

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show. And what we know about that is that 95% of chronic disease is caused by the exposome, not the genome. Meaning your genes are are affected by the exposures that then change the gene's function, which then lead to all these diseases. But it's not the genes that that are the problem, it's the exposome that's the major problem.
