Genetics asks how much of who we are is written in our DNA, and how much is up to us. London Real has spoken to an evolutionary biologist, an ageing researcher, a developmental biologist and a doctor who builds health plans around genetic data. They discuss the selfish gene, epigenetics, why we age and whether our beliefs and habits can change how our genes behave. Guests share their own views, not medical advice. Every full interview is free to watch.
From evolutionary biologist and The Selfish Gene author Richard Dawkins and Harvard ageing researcher Dr David Sinclair to The Biology of Belief author Bruce Lipton and precision medicine doctor Dr Daniel Stickler: what your genes decide and what you can change.
Richard Dawkins, whose book The Selfish Gene explains evolution from the gene’s point of view, talks about nature, humanity and consciousness. Dr David Sinclair, an Australian biologist known for his research on ageing and epigenetics, explains why we age and why he believes we do not have to. Bruce Lipton, a developmental biologist, goes further: he argues that a person’s beliefs can influence how their genes and DNA behave. Dr Daniel Stickler, a former vascular surgeon, explains why he moved away from treating illness as it arises towards personalised plans for long-term health.
