Integrative Conversations Ep 39: Decoding Your Energy: Genetics, Stress & Personalized Healing with Dr. Greg Naccarelli (USA)

In this episode, Meli sits down with Dr. Greg Naccarelli, a genetics-focused naturopath who specializes in how our DNA shapes metabolism, stress resilience, inflammation, recovery, and long-term health. Together, they explore how understanding your genes can give you clarity about chronic fatigue, burnout, hormone imbalances, and why your body responds the way it does under stress. Dr. Greg breaks down complex science into simple terms, how genes turn “on” and “off,” what epigenetics really means, and the specific pathways that influence cortisol, inflammation, energy production, and mitochondrial function.
