During this episode you’re going to learn how you can change your own genes? Not change the genes themselves but change which genes are turned on and which ones are turned off so that you can live longer and live healthier for longer.

Hannah Went is a molecular biologist who is changing what it means to age well. Hannah used to work for the International Peptide Society as their Director of Research and Content. Then, she saw an opportunity for methylation based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020.

Since TruDiagnostic’s inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 75,000 patients tested to date. Hannah has since created Everything Epigenetics where she shares insights on how DNA regulation has an impact on your health.

In this episode Hannah ranks the top 4 habits that will help you live longer and the top one isn’t what you’d think - it’s not nutrition or exercise.

Hannah also takes us through her daily routine and tells us what habits she does and what supplements she takes to ensure a long healthy life.

What can we eat to decrease our cholesterol?

What are the top 4 things we can do to reduce the chances of getting Alzeheimer’s disease?

Today’s episode with Dr. Matthew Dawson - the CEO and Co-Founder of Wild Health - is a special one.

In this episode Dr. Dawson and I dive into my bloodwork results, my genetic testing results, and he tells me what to take away from it, and how you can leverage these tests to improve your health as well.

Dr. Matthew Dawson has had an obsession with performance optimization for a long time. This obsession started in high school and college when he was competing in two sports. He then carried this obsession with him through medical school and into his profession as a physician, earning numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership on account of his research and approach to health care.

Dr. Dawson crystallized this approach to providing patients with true health care, rather than sick care, by building Wild Health – a Precision Medicine service providing personalized, genetics-based care to help patients achieve optimal wellbeing.

In that, Dr. Dawson has also trained thousands of physicians in Precision Medicine through online education, and has lectured in over twenty countries around the world.

Today you’re going to learn from the Food Freedom and Fertility expert Lindsey Lusson about what damages female hormone health, how to eat to regain your period, the dangers of undereating, the role fat plays in our hormone health and more!

Lindsey is a Registered Dietitian, momma, Christian wife, and food freedom enthusiast. She didn’t always have such a free and positive relationship with food, but her experiences have allowed her to connect with and support others in a very real way.

Lindsey has studied nutrition and exercise for 15 years and is well aware of what under-eating can do to your health and hormones. For over a decade, she didn’t have a natural period. When she and her husband wanted to begin trying for a baby, she felt lost with no direction on how to get pregnant.

By the grace of God, she found a book about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). She decided to stop all exercise and eat much more. In less than a month, she got her period back! Three months later, she got pregnant naturally despite being told she would need fertility treatment to start a family.

This week I felt compelled to forego an interview episode and break down the new Netflix Documentary called You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment. In this documentary, they took 22 identical twins and had one of the twins eat a plant-based diet and the other an omnivorous diet which is a diet of meat and plants.

The documentary claims its goal is to see which diet is the healthiest when two people who have the same DNA consume it.

In this episode, I’m going to break down the 4 factors that determine how many calories you burn on a daily basis.

I’ll define all 4, talk about how big of factor they are, and how you can modify them so they work for you and not against you.

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is made up of 4 factors:

1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
2. BMR accounts for 60-70% of TDEE
3. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)
4. NEAT accounts for 15-50% of TDEE
5. Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT)
6. EAT accounts for 15-30% of TDEE
7. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
8. TEF accounts for 8-15% of TDEE

*percentages were taken from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition*
