from Feel Freaking Amazing™ · host Dr. Sam Shay, Dr. Wendie Trubow, and Dr. Ed Levitan

What if the genes you've been blaming for your health struggles were never the problem to begin with? Your "bad" genetic hand might actually be a survival advantage in disguise, and the issue may be that you're not optimizing your lifestyle to the genes you have. In this episode, Dr. Sam Shay, founder of FitGenes and a genetics expert with over a decade of clinical experience, explains why analyzing the right genes matters far more than chasing trendy ones, such as MTHFR. If you've ever felt betrayed by your own body, this episode offers a completely different, more empowering way to see your genetics. Listen now and start optimizing your body today!
