The Science Behind the Paleo Diet
41:15 - 45:13 (03:58)
The paleo diet is examined through the lens of molecular biology, including the impact of protein and IGF-1 on the body and how micronutrients can help repair damage. Some studies suggest that people who eat a paleo-like diet have lower levels of inflammation.

Summary
This podcast episode discusses the role of methylation in epigenetics and how it affects gene activation. Transcriptional factors such as Fox bind to the promoter region of a gene to activate it, and acetylation is another epigenetic mark beside methylation.
