You’ve seen this before. A genetic report comes back loaded with red SNPs.
MTHFR. APOE. COMT, and suddenly everything feels more complicated. More supplements. More restrictions. More second-guessing.
That creates overwhelm.
In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie breaks down how to actually use genetics in practice without turning it into a list of problems to fix. SNPs aren’t diagnoses, and they don’t tell you what to do on their own.
What matters is how those variants show up in the body.
You’ll learn how to step back, look at pathways instead of individual SNPs, and connect genetics with labs, symptoms, and physiology, so your decisions actually make sense.
If genetic testing has ever made things harder instead of clearer, this will change how you approach it.
What’s Inside This Episode?• Why genetic testing often creates overwhelm instead of clarity
• The problem with focusing on individual SNPs like MTHFR and APOE
• Why SNPs are variants, not diagnoses or mutations
• The shift from “red flags” to pathway-based thinking
• How to integrate genetics with labs, symptoms, and physiology
• What to look at instead of reacting to every variant
• How to prioritize interventions using systems thinking
• Why sequencing matters more than stacking protocols
