Epigenetics

Bioenergetics is the study of the flow and transformation of energy within biological systems, particularly focusing on how living organisms acquire, store, and utilize energy to sustain vital processes. It encompasses the understanding of various energy-related pathways, such as cellular respiration as well as the interplay between ATP production, conversion, and utilization in different biological contexts. In this module, we focus on the requirements for energy production (light, water, magnetism, vitamins, minerals, nutrients), the impedances to energy production (toxins, heavy meals), mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial biogenesis, and more.

Evolutionary Medicine combines information from different disciplines such as evolutionary biology, anthropology, and zoology with human medicine in order to create new paradigms or understanding human health and disease. It recognizes that many aspects of our biology and physiology are shaped by natural selection and evolutionary processes. In HOMeHOPe, students will learn leverage proximate explanation (i.e how things work) and evolutionary explanations (i.e why certain functions exist) to address the question: What can we do about them clinically to help our clients?
