Gene Genius: Understand your DNA and create your own genetic roadmap to health and happiness
This fascinating book tells us how we can understand our DNA and create our own individual genetic roadmaps to health and happiness.
It explains how to unravel the mysteries of our DNA and shows us how our DNA can define the diet and exercise that’s exactly right for each of us, and how tiny changes to lifestyle can make a huge difference to our whole lives.
So if you’ve ever wondered why someone on exactly the same diet as you loses weight much faster than you, why you crave a sugar fix at 4pm and your work colleague never does, and why your best friend stresses far less than you, then you should know: the answers are all in your genes! And Gene Genius tells us how to interpret the evidence, and work with our genes for much better results.
Today, we sit on the threshold of the most far-reaching health revolution of our times, and now Gene Genius gives us the power to identify some of the key genes that make a huge difference to our individual make-ups. By explaining the science of DNA and genetic inheritance, it takes the reader on a journey through the human genome, shedding light on how your genes influence your mental and physical health and showing how you can plot a clear path to a healthier you.
Leading genetic scientist Dr Margaret Smith, along with health writer Sue Williams, offer a way forward for how to deal with any problematic genetic inheritance, such as a predisposition to weight gain, mental illness, stress, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, drug or alcohol dependencies and much more.
Their sensible, informed advice reveals how you can transform your health and wellbeing by working in harmony with your genes to achieve life-changing results.
Gene Genius by Dr Margaret Smith with Sue Williams, was published by Harlequin in September 2015
Reviews
“An excellent, no-nonsense layperson’s guide to epigenetics and nutrigenomics (the study of the effects of foods and food constituents on gene expression). This book is all the encouragement I need to find out my own genetic predisposition to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, certain types of cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease, and to introduce some serious lifestyle changes accordingly. Highly recommended.”

Goodreads
“If you are fascinated by how the human body functions and why you crave (or not) things that can be bad for you then this will be an interesting read. This book, Gene Genius, was written by doctors and is more like a handbook or text book style read. All about DNA and your genes. What I really liked about this book is that it imparts a hell of a lot of knowledge to the reader in a very easy manner.”
