Food is Information: How Food Talks to Your Genes

We are discovering that food is so much more than carbohydrates, protein, fat, water, vitamins and minerals. Food is actually information, sending healing or hurting messages to your genes and cells. It’s a brand new way of looking at “new-trition”! This talk is an introduction to the field of epigenetics and nutritional genomics, and the gut microbiome. You’ll discover how to change your health potential with food, spices, and supplements. You’ll also learn about the pros and cons of genetic testing.

Dr. Liz Lipski, Ph.D., CCN, CHN, CNS, is the Director of the Nutrition and Integrative Health program at Maryland University of Integrative Health. She has been working in the fields of nutrition, holistic health, herbology, and lifestyle management for more than 30 years.
