Thanks Ken I always appreciate hearing more of your thoughts on this stuff!

Ken have you heard of epigenetics? I care way more about that! How environment or certain factors effect genetic expression, causing certain genes to turn on, OR off. That interests me way more! Probably because people in my life have always chalked bad things up to poor genetics and kind of thrown their hands up about it, but that was never enough for me! Plus it puts things in a different perspective and helps convey how adaptable we as humans can be, and that so many negative health conditions can be reversed.

years back i started researching a lot about epigenetics and was really into it for awhile.

I think these biomechanics are probably the primary thing that allows genes to express themselves.

Which is why my general belief is if u focus on getting the biomechanics right for a growing child, the gene expression will happen correctly. And so u dont need to think about it separately.

What ive observed in growing kids over the years is exactly this. If biomechanics are right, everything else just works.

So if there's a genetic propensity for heart disease or endometriosis that runs a family "genetically," I'm more inclined to ask WHY and what could be causing those genes to trigger. I know you don't care as much about the why and I appreciate that haha, sometimes the quick and dirty approach is the way to go without getting lost in all the details 😂. But I think this applies to biomechanical collapse as well.

i am not a strong believer in this 'genetic propensity' stuff.

Because a mother compensates her child while in the womb.

And that will mimic genetic propensity.

Also i think this genetic propensity completely disappears once u go back more than 3-4 generations.

So it's 'genetic propensity' that was silent for many generations but then all of a sudden appeared in the last couple. Which doesnt make sense to me
