Skin Repair and Circadian Rhythms

Skin Repair and Circadian Rhythms

The changing of seasons displays how brilliantly nature creates periods of rest and restoration to manage its energy resources. These innate cycles called circadian rhythms are natural processes that respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including humans, animals, plants, and even microbes. One example of a light-related circadian rhythm is sleeping at night and being awake during the day. I can’t help but wonder how we might be able to sync our daily habits and rituals to maximize our own cycles.

Pollution and Epigenetics

Pollution and Epigenetics

Have you ever heard a story of 2 twin siblings separated at birth that meet later in life and look completely different from one another? This phenomenon can be explained by epigenetics.

The genes we inherit from our parents hold the instructions for building all our body parts and contain lots of information that make us unique like hair, skin tone, body shape and eye color even predisposition to certain health issues. However, the old ideas that genes are “set in stone” or that they alone determine development have been disproven. Nature vs. Nurture is no longer a debate—it’s nearly always both! our environment and lifestyle choices can change the way genetic information is accessed and used.
