Rhonda Patrick: Nutrigenomics, Epigenetics, and Stress Tolerance
Why Hacker News recommends it
Cited as a reference in threads on telomeres, lifespan extension and longevity research funding, mainly for the nutrigenomics and epigenetics material.
What it is
Rhonda Patrick gives an IHMC talk on how genetic variation affects micronutrient absorption and metabolism, and how diet changes gene expression. It also covers epigenetics, including heritable changes, and stress tolerance.
