165- Using Your Genetic Blueprint To Optimize Health with Teri Cochrane

By Bryan Carroll CFMP, NTP, FAFS

November 18, 2021


You've probably experienced a time when a "diet" that has worked for your friends did not work for you. This is a great example of how healthcare is not a one-size fits all approach, and we all have unique needs for our bodies.

Learning about our genes and what works well for them is a great start to creating a diet that is unique to you. Once we know our basic "genetic blueprint", then we can discover ways to turn on and off certain genes to optimize our health.

Teri Cochrane does a great job of this. She uses your genetic blueprint to figure out a plan for different foods and lifestyle changes to make to reach your health goals.
