In studying the larger factors outside the gene and human body that impact gene expression, we can better explain some of the gene-environment interactions that create disease conditions such as autism. We coined the term "macroepigenetics" to describe this research process in a 2012 article.

The term "macroepigenetics" never took off. Instead, the term "nutritional epigenetics" became the norm to describe gene-environment interactions involving prenatal diet and exposures to environmental toxicants.

We now offer our volunteers nutritional epigenetics training. To learn more about our online nutritional epigenetics training, please visit our volunteer page by clicking on this link.
