Listen and learn about Dr. Lynch’s story- his WHY and mission. 

Do you watch his IG for updates on coronavirus protocol to stay healthy on the inside and out…maybe add how our genes, epigenetics and supplements needed to thrive right now?

1. We start by reviewing the basic terms on epigenetics and “DIRTY GENES”
2. How do we use our genetic reports to create an individualized health building program using nutritional therapy and lifestyle improvements (THE WHOLESTIC METHOD!)?
3. How do endurance athletes know if they are fit and healthy… if they are going to train for endurance events- what can they do to optimize their health at a cellular level to improve fat loss, athletic performance and longevity?
4. How can we use genetic reports- StrateGene to optimize our health, performance and longevity? 
5. Chronic stress, accumulation of external and hidden internal stressors- how does this impact our health and how does our genetics influence our outcome
6.  We talk about how we can’t out supplement poor lifestyle habits (including over training and under recovery) to support, stimulate or substitute as we say as FDN Practitioners…

Substitution: for missing vitamins and minerals that are no longer in the food supply, even organic food can lack nutrients

Stimulation: most vitamins, minerals and herbs. For example, vitamin B-12 provides stimulation to the liver, echinacea stimulates the immune system

Support: temporary support or support for vital voids, for those who may be lacking in normal production. Examples, digestive enzymes and HCl, adrenals, etc.

“Dirty Genes is an empowering, actionable, and practical guide on how to optimize our health and make the best of our genes. I highly recommend this book to every person who is struggling with health challenges or simply wants to optimize their health.”

 “After suffering for years with unexplainable health issues, Dr. Ben Lynch discovered the root cause—“dirty” genes. Genes can be “born dirty” or merely “act dirty” in response to your environment, diet, or lifestyle—causing lifelong, life-threatening, and chronic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, obesity, cancer, and diabetes.

Based on his own experience and successfully helping thousands of clients, Dr. Lynch shows you how to identify and optimize both types of dirty genes by cleaning them up with targeted and personalized plans, including healthy eating, good sleep, stress relief, environmental detox, and other holistic and natural means.

Many of us believe our genes doom us to the disorders that run in our families. But Dr. Lynch reveals that with the right plan in place, you can eliminate symptoms, and optimize your physical and mental health—and ultimately rewrite your genetic destiny.
