Personalized nutrition, DNA testing, and nutrigenomics — the science that finally explains why the same diet, supplement, or caffeine habit works beautifully for one person and completely backfires for another. Dr. Z sits down with the researcher behind it all.

If you have ever followed all the right advice, eaten clean, taken the supplements, and still not gotten the results you were promised, this episode is the explanation you have been waiting for. Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy, Professor of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto and Founder of Nutrigenomix Inc., breaks down the science of nutrigenomics in plain language: how genetic testing is changing the way practitioners personalize care.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER

• What nutrigenomics actually is — and why it finally explains the maddening inconsistency of nutrition research
• The caffeine gene: why coffee increases heart attack risk in 50% of the population and lowers it in the other 50%
• MTHFR demystified: what this overhyped gene actually means, what it does not mean, and why folate intake can completely eliminate its risk
• Why your genes are not your destiny — and how the right dietary information can abolish even significant genetic vulnerabilities
• The micronutrients most people never test for — vitamin C, D, B12, choline — and why not knowing your genetic risk for deficiency is silently affecting your long-term health
