The Diet Myth explores the hidden world of gut bacteria and why fad diets fail, while Identically Different investigates how genes are far more flexible than once believed.

Through the emerging science of epigenetics, genes can be switched on and off by our environment, lifestyle and experiences, and these changes can even echo into future generations.
