Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “I wish I had a different hair color or eye color.” What about more muscle, less body fat? What about more brain power, better eyesight, more empathy?
Contained within our genetic code is the raw untapped potential of the human condition. Within that same code is the negative potential of that condition where cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s are switch away.
