Change How You Age: Rewriting Your Wellness Through Genes and Daily Choices

GENE EXPRESSIONS

We used to think of our genetic code as fixed — a script we inherited and couldn’t change. But we now know that our lifestyle choices can influence how our genes behave. What we eat, how we move, even where we live — all of these factors can shape our biological outcomes.

In The Aging Myth, we link these shift to metabolism, the microbiome and mental health. Disciplines like molecular biology and biochemistry serve as our “ Rossetta Stone” for decoding gene expression.

This is the field of nutrigenomics, where biology meets behaviour. It helps us understand how our food, environment and habits can switch genes on or off — guiding everything from metabolism and immune health to mood, skin and energy. It’s a powerful reminder that we are not simply the product of our genes, but active participants in how they’re expressed.

“ We are entering an era where technology aligns with biology. Tools like light therapy, microcurrents and cellular nutrition allow us to influence gene expression from the outside in. We are no longer just maintaining health — we’re optimising it.” - Dr. Joseph Chang

It’s also a reminder that ageing isn’t something we must simply surrender to — many people unknowingly give up too soon, believing that decline is inevitable. But what if your future health could be shaped more by your actions than your age? You might be surprised what small, consistent changes can unlock.
