Transform your Mind
Transform Your Mind is a health and longevity podcast at the intersection of mental health, trauma recovery, and physical vitality. We explore how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system shape your biology, aging process, and long-term wellness—because true longevity begins in the mind and lives in the body.
Through expert interviews and solo episodes, we dive into nervous system regulation, emotional healing, epigenetics, addiction recovery, and performance optimization to help you live longer, stronger, and more fully alive.
Hosted by Myrna Young, trauma recovery expert, the show features functional medicine doctors, researchers, and wellness experts sharing insights on longevity science, nervous system regulation, metabolic health, emotional healing, and regenerative approaches to aging well.
If you’re seeking practical strategies for living longer, improving vitality, and optimizing mind-body health, Transform Your Mind delivers conversations that help you transform both your mind and biology, relationships and your mental health.

Hey Transformers, as we close out our longevity series, I’m bringing back a powerful TYM Classic — and I’m re-airing this episode very intentionally.
When we recorded this episode on epigenetics, it completely reframed the way I think about health, longevity, and regenerative health. It wasn’t just science — it was empowerment.
So many of us have been told that our genes determine our future. That if something “runs in the family,” it’s inevitable. But this discussion opened up a different narrative — one rooted in research, lifestyle choices, and the power we actually have to influence how our genes express themselves.
Summary: Myrna Young engages in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Matthew Dawson about the transformative influence of epigenetics on health. Understanding the pivotal role of epigenetics in shaping our DNA destiny, Dr. Dawson elaborates on how lifestyle choices markedly influence gene expression, highlighting that genetic predispositions only contribute a fraction to overall health outcomes compared to epigenetic factors. The episode delves into the importance of personalized healthcare plans, as demonstrated through case studies such as Dr. Dawson’s mother, who effectively managed her risk of Alzheimer's through personalized lifestyle adjustments.
Key Takeaways:
- Epigenetic Influence: Lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, are crucial in turning genes on or off, significantly affecting health outcomes.
- Personalized Healthcare: Utilizing genomics and epigenetics can lead to tailored healthcare plans that can mitigate genetic risks.
- Biological Age Understanding: Biological age tests offer a more precise measure of health and longevity than chronological age.
- Resource Utilization: Tools like Wild Health and True Diagnostic can aid in personalized health planning and prolonging health span.
