Can Your Genes Predict Your Health? with Dr. Sam Shay

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging and your unique genetic blueprint be the missing link behind your energy, inflammation, and long-term wellness?     In this fascinating episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with Dr. Sam Shay, chiropractor, genetic health expert, comedian, and creator of the NeuroSpicy comedy special. Dr. Shay explains how genetics influence everything from carb tolerance and caffeine sensitivity to exercise recovery, inflammation, methylation, and overall health outcomes.     They unpack the truth about MTHFR, why genetics are far more complex than a single gene mutation, and how personalized nutrition can outperform one-size-fits-all wellness advice. Dr. Shay also shares his personal experience with Asperger's syndrome, discusses AI's growing influence on healthcare, and explains why understanding your DNA can help you make smarter lifestyle decisions.     If you've ever wondered whether your body is wired differently than everyone else's, this episode offers practical insights into personalized health optimization.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Dr. Sam:   Website:  https://drsamshay.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrSamShaydotcom/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsamshay/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwow0ZGmR2K2X_b0dyDF4Lg YouTube Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auxjQWEGFCQ   Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  https://lisafischersaid.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/
