The more we find out about our genes, the more fascinating our potential becomes.

It\u2019s important to realize that our genes don\u2019t control our lives. In fact, in many ways it\u2019s the opposite. There are thousands of things we can do to influence our genetic expression. And that\u2019s where the real adventure begins.

Today you\u2019re going to discover some little known facts about your genes that might just change your life forever. You see, even though we humans have upwards of 20,000 genes we share collectively, some of those genes can misbehave.
