What We Discuss:

00:04:40:23 - If you asked us 10-years-ago if we were going to be running a genetic company we would have laughed at you. It came out of frustration. it came out of knowing that there were better options for practitioners than we even knew about.
00:06:03:01 - Why privacy is important in genetic testing: who should you trust?
00:07:04:13 - What kind of diet is perfect for you? Your genes truly control all the protein metabolism, all the enzyme function of your body to essentially make all the chemistry happen as it ought to.
00:07:23:01 - People who have anxiety, maybe they can't eat certain kinds of cheese. People who are prone to insomnia, maybe they need more B12. We can literally look at your genes and pinpoint specifically how you function as a whole and how we can personalize and prioritize your health journey.

00:17:33:22 - The BS they're feeding themselves is that "medicine has all the answers" because it doesn't.
00:19:58:06 - I was extremely active as a child...I can look at a piece of lettuce and gain ten lbs, something was going on and we couldn't figure it out.
00:23:55:21 - There's a gene for eating your emotions? There is a gene for addictive and emotional eating... so if you get bad news and want to get chip faced with that ice cream, then that can be blamed on your blueprint
00:27:17:17 - 27:16 a huge part of our weight loss programs for our patients is just getting inflammation under control. we don't even talk about the scale until we have inflammation under control, hormones under control, sleep under control. you're not going to be an ideal weight unless all the other factors are ideal.
