In this episode I dive into the world of nutrigenomics and how your genetics and nutrition impact and influence your health.

I discuss 4 topics, and give examples within my practice of how I use this information to help my clients achieve the best outcome/results.

• How your genetics impact how you should eat
• How your genetics impact how you should exercise
• How your genetics impact what supplements you should take
• How your genetics impact choices for overall wellness and longevity
