We're back at Rosetta Chiropractic in Belfast. After we wrap up on our Keto chat from last year, Nick talks about his newest passion - epigenetics and the 'Triage Theory' of macronutrients.

Imagine knowing what health issues you may be prone to based on your genetics. Imagine being able to act on such information and better your health as a preventative measure. Turns out, we all might be able to do exactly that.

This is just half of our interview, part 2 coming soon.

As always we share a plant based recipe :)
