Pushing The Limits

Why Your Diet Isn't Working - And Why It Might Be Your DNA


Listen Later

What if the diet you've been following diligently — eating all the right things, tracking your macros, staying committed — is actually wrong for your specific biology?

In this solo episode I share the anonymised case of a real client who gained eight kilograms following a ketogenic diet perfectly. Not because she was doing it wrong. Because her genetics made her one of the worst possible candidates for high saturated fat eating — and nobody had ever looked at her DNA.

We go deep on the three specific genetic variants that predicted her poor response to keto, what her full microbiome mapping revealed that standard testing would have completely missed, and how her hormonal picture and chronic stress were silently driving the whole metabolic picture.

This episode is for anyone who has tried hard, followed the advice, and still isn't getting results. It's time to stop blaming yourself and start looking at your biology.

We cover why Instagram diet advice is genuinely dangerous for people with different genetics, what comprehensive functional testing actually looks like — DNA panels, microbiome mapping, DUTCH hormone testing, detailed bloodwork — and the universal dietary principles that apply to almost everyone regardless of their genetic profile.

Your body is not broken. It just needs the right instructions.
