What if everything you've been told about genetics and disease is keeping you trapped as a victim instead of empowered as the author of your health?

In this profound episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with the legendary Dr. Jeffrey Bland, biochemist, researcher, and the father of functional medicine, whose work has transformed the lives of millions by shifting healthcare from "what do we call it?" to "how did we get here?"

Dr. Bland reveals the life-changing truth that our genes don't determine our destiny—they simply offer potential. The real power lies in how we treat those genes through our daily choices: what we eat, how we breathe, how we move, and even how we think.
