あらすじ・解説
In this episode, I chat with Alisa Bloom, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in genetic-focused nutrition coaching. We discuss the difference between genetics and genomics, what your DNA can tell you about your wellness needs, and how discovering any genetic variations (like MTHFR and MTHFD1) plays a role in creating a more targeted health plan. Alisa shares insights on managing inflammation, debunks common weight loss misconceptions, and explains who the best candidates are for genomic testing.
