Epigenetic Reprogramming: Evolutionary Synergies for the Prevention of Emerging Diseases
Author(s): Claudio Lombardo*
From the perspective of systems theory, human health results from a dynamic balance between environmental, biological, and behavioral factors [1]. The interaction between endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), sedentary lifestyles, ultra- processed food consumption, and disconnection from natural stimuli disrupts circadian rhythms, metabolism, and brain functions, generating a state of neuroendocrine dysregulation and systemic inflammation [1,2]. Exposure to EDCs compromises hormonal and neurochemical regulation, with transgenerational effects that increase the risk of psychiatric and metabolic disorders in future generations, exacerbated by the role of adipose tissue as a bioaccumulator of toxins [3,4]. Emerging diseases, once exclusively associated with viral infections (such as COVID-19 and the Zika virus), now also include metabolic, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric disorders th.. Read More»
