How to Change the Expression of Our Genes

March 22, 2022 by Liz Carter

How to Change the Expression of Our Genes

The concept of changing the expression of genes sounds unreal, but when we look at how technology is evolving, and the world is growing, even genes modification seems possible. Gene modification is quite an interesting field because of its practical applications. And the process of gene modification entirely depends upon the expression of our genes which is altered by genetics and epigenetics. 

Genetics is not changeable, but epigenetics depends upon our behaviors and environment. The expression of the genes is dependent upon epigenetics, which encodes information into the genes to make the protein. 

Here is how genetics and epigenetics are interlinked to change the behavioral pattern of an individual.  [Read more…]

Why the Gut Microbiome Is Crucial for Our Health?

The human body is full of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are collectively known as the microbiome, and their totals are impressive, numbering in the trillions.

While some bacteria are associated with disease, others are extremely important for your immune system, heart, weight, and many other aspects of health.

What is the Gut Microbiome?

Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microscopic living things are referred to as microorganisms, or microbes, for short.

Trillions of these microbes exist mainly inside your intestines, with some also known to be on the skin. It is here that most of the microbes in the intestines are found, in a “pouch” at the junction of the small and large intestine called the cecum. The microbes found in the cecum are generally referred to as the gut microbiome. For various reasons, bacteria are widely studied even though many different types of microbes exist inside us.

Coaching 2021: A Summary

Coaching 2021: A Summary

Time is such a powerful force, it even trickles into the coaching world. There was a time when a coach could skate by through working with clients, without any formal education! If you are already certified as a coach currently, you know how crazy this is. But this was how things were 20 or more years ago.

But advances in coach training do not come at us as quickly as advances in other areas, say, for example, science. Changes in the coaching profession come from either different techniques and training and how coaching services are delivered, or they are changed by events like our current pandemic.  This results in a shift, whereby millions of people are forced to – literally – look inward at their own health.  But the pandemic has also slowed down the already trickle speed of coach training. We didn’t really get to learn too much in 2020 apart from COVID19, we were focused on survival. But now that 2021 is nearly over, we’ve learned a few things in hindsight. [Read more…]

Student Success Stories

Becoming a Certified Life Strategies Coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Now I have coaching clients, and also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.

Earning the Spencer Institute's Wellness Coach Certification was an excellent addition to existing education and experience. I now have a highly successful blog, healthy cooking business, cook books and much more. The sky is the limit.
