Decode Your DNA for Better Health | Dr. Sam Shay on Functional Genetics & Personalized Wellness

This episode explores the rapidly evolving field of functional genetics and how it’s changing the future of healthcare. Dr. Sam Shay shares how understanding genetic predispositions can help individuals make smarter decisions around diet, exercise, recovery, inflammation management, and stress resilience. Rather than viewing genes as fixed destiny, Dr. Shay explains how epigenetics allows us to influence gene expression through lifestyle choices. He breaks down complex genetic concepts into simple, actionable insights and explains why personalized medicine is the next frontier in health optimization. Listeners will gain practical strategies for understanding their own biology and learn how inflammation, nutrition, detoxification, vitamin D receptors, methylation, and exercise genetics all contribute to long-term wellbeing.   ◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:    Dr. Sam Shay is a functional medicine expert specializing in fatigue, brain fog, hormonal balance, personalized wellness, and functional genetics.
