This is one of those must listen episode!  

In a world where self-help gurus seem to outnumber the general population, everyone seems to have a prescription for how you should live your life.  From how you should approach weight loss, work, relationships and even how you should think. 

The thing is, many of these recommendations have value, but not for everyone.  Just because something worked for someone, and they wrote a book about it, doesn’t mean it will work for you.  In fact, it could be outright detrimental.  

What really annoys me, is when you apply the “method” or philosophy of the guru, with sincerity and effort, and it still doesn’t work out. Often, the insinuation is, it’s your fault.  You didn’t do it right because there’s something wrong with you.  Most likely, that’s not the case.  

You have your own unique set of values, beliefs and needs.  More than that, you’re a biologically unique individual, and what is sage advice for one person, can be absolutely incorrect for another.  

My Guest is Dr. Cam McDonald.  In this episode we discuss how your environment impacts gene expression to help you to survive and thrive as a human being.  

How does our embryological development before birth effect the hormonal and genetic dominance that shapes our individual traits?  

How can Epigenetics help us to answer questions such as:

What time should you get up in the morning? 

Why do you tend to behave the way you do?  

Is selfishness and generosity influenced by our biology?   

How many meals per day should you eat?  

Why do some people struggle to lose weight, even when on a low-calorie diet?  

Which of the 6 primary epigenetic archetypes are you?  And what does that reveal about who you are and what you need in order to live a successful and satisfying life, on your terms?  

Cam will answer all these questions as well as share other fascinating insights.  You are going to love this episode.
