Your DNA is more than just a code — it’s the foundation for nearly everything your body does. And while 99.9% of it is the same as everyone else’s, how you live can shape how your genes show up for you. In this episode, we unpack what DNA is made of, how it functions, and how daily choices like food, sleep, and stress impact gene expression. This is your starting point for a deeper understanding of your body — and how to support it at the cellular level for a more intentional, upgraded approach to health.

We throw the word “wellness” around a lot—but if you don’t understand what’s happening at the cellular level, are you really upgrading your health? In this kickoff episode of Season 2 of The Upgrade Effect, we zoom in on the eukaryotic cell—the complex, powerhouse structure that makes up you. From mitochondria to the Golgi apparatus, we break down what each organelle does, why it matters, and how it all connects to the way your body feels, functions, and heals. Whether you're focused on nutrition, hormones, energy, or brain fog—this is your biology foundation. Because true wellness starts with understanding what’s actually happening under the surface. Let’s build your wellness knowledge from the inside out—starting at the cellular core.
