About this item

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.

I wish I had had this book about 12 years ago and my health wouldn't be in the state it is now. I had implants put in me and were in me for 14 years valves never closed and I believe this contributed to my environmental dirty genes. Highly toxic chemicals in shell. Anyhow I had some really bad "born" dirty genes too. I did some genetic testing and some other tests prior to reading Dr. Lynch's book but there were some things I just couldn't understand or seem to find anyone who could interpret all of these. I haven't even finished the book but I couldn't put it down today and am almost already through it. I have so many dirty genes and I think a lot of it was caused by my toxic implants. I luckily got them taken out 2 years ago and I have a 52 page report confirming just how toxic and pathogenic they were. I was literally so excited to read this book because it really tells you everything you need everything I have been looking for as far as what nutrients you need, recipes to eat even, and so forth and so forth. If I were to pick out what I would have wanted in his book before he wrote it I would have picked exactly what he wrote. It explains every question I haven't been able to get answered in years. An NMD I have was able to touch on some of the things in his book but not all. I dido another reviewer if you read only one book for your health read this one! $20 it's well worth the $20. I would have bought it for way more and it still would have been wroth it. Dr. Ben Lynch thank you and you ROCK!

I participated in a live FB webcast with Dr. Lynch, and he is just phenomenal at taking something complex like genetics and explaining their effect on health while giving people a practical guide as to how they can work WITH their unique genetics to regain or improve their health. He takes the unpopular but mostly true stance that our health destinies are not written in stone by our genes, but are influenced, both positively and negatively not just by genes, but by diet, lifestyle, toxic exposures, stress, and even mindset.

In the book, he identifies the seven genes which, when "dirty", have the greatest impact on our health and well-being, and explains that a gene can be "dirty" (not functioning optimally) either because of nature (genetics) or nurture (environment). He recommends a 2 week "soak and scrub", during which time a person can function on "cleaning" all of their genes - focusing on diet, exercise, sleep, stress relief, and avoidance of toxins to the extent possible. After that period of time, if a person is still having issues, they can do what he calls "spot cleaning" of specific genes - MTHFR (methylation),PEMT (choline/phosphatidylcholine, important for cell membranes, liver, digestive, and brain health), DAO (diamine oxidase, breaks down histamine in the gut), MAOA (monoamine oxidase - breaks down/helps regulate neurotransmission, mood), NOS3 (produces endothelial nitric oxide, important for cardiovascular health/blood pressure regulation), GST/GPX (glutathione, the body's master antioxidant and important for detoxification), and COMT (metabolizes catecholamines, also involved in mood/personality). And the good thing for the majority of readers is that genetic testing isn't necessarily required, because Dr. Lynch includes a checklist for each gene that a person can use to assess whether or not that gene is or is behaving "dirty" and needs attention. Personally, I like having the hard data, but both methods are useful, since even a mutated gene may NOT be causing problems if it is being properly supported.

He also includes a recipe section, with descriptions as to how they support each of these genes and recommendations for modifications if you have issues with different ones. He also has a recommended ORDER for "spot cleaning" if you have multiple issues that need to be targeted specifically.

The nature/nurture argument has been going on for decades, but I feel that Dr. Lynch has made an excellent case for concluding that it really isn't either/or but BOTH, and this book is a wonderful tool that people can use in order to take charge of their own individual health.

Resolute!

Most POWERFUL Health Book EVER

Dr. Lynch has given me a perspective of health beyond ALL other books I have ever read!!! I love what this doctor delivers!!! You will learn things that will blow your mind if you are open to understanding a little bit about how the chemical reactions in your own body affect your health via your genes. The book is NOT complicated to get through and I love it that Dr. Lynch recommends food and minor supplements (if needed) but really wants you to heal naturally through food! If you follow what he recommends you will not only being to feel really good but.....you will feel for the first time in your life that you are taking control over your health!!!!!! The power belongs with you and what you will learn will put you back in the driver seat for your health. I have done so much note taking as I read along I will purchase a second copy. I also bought it for a family member and I have recommended this book many times over. I want other to heal too! I love Dr. Lynch for how he has helped thousands of people!!!!!

It all starts with the genes

For medical detectives trying to learn WHY and WHERE disease begins…. this is a gray read.

The best book out there on this subject!

I have read and re-read this outstanding book and have gifted it to many people including my Naturopath. Some may think it is hard to read, but it is not. Just do the checklists as you go along and it will make it more relevant and interesting. I found Dr. Ben Lynch while researching MTHFR and his work has done wonders for me. We all need this book in our healing library!
