SCIENCE CAFE presented by Women, Life and Science

Women experience epigenetic marks throughout life, shaped by hormonal cycles, pregnancy, trauma or stress, cancer risks, and aging.

But here’s the reminder: your genes are not your destiny. You have the power to silence harmful genes and activate protective ones.

Through epigenetics, lifestyle choices, supportive environments, and medical care, it’s possible to “reprogram” how your genes behave—helping you build strength and resilience.

Why attend this free networking event?

Well aside from meeting like-minded women, you’ll gain new learnings! For this month's Science Cafe, you'll meet Dr. Melissa Overman, who at the core of her practice, use genetics and epigenetics to tailor care. She integrates tools like functional testing, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), Ayurveda, and autonomic nervous system work to support healing. She will give practical ways to support your genes through everyday habits and gain insights from real research on women’s health and resilience.

Who can most benefit from this event?

This session is especially valuable for women navigating midlife changes, health-conscious individuals, caregivers, and anyone curious about how science connects to daily living.

Want to practice activating your protective genes?

Join us at our Science Café on October 13, 2025! Same place, same time, with the same goal of learning something new!
