Episode Notes

The journey to a healthier body can sometimes be a struggle. Some foods help, some don't. Certain exercises are supposed to be good but don't show everyone the same rewards. That's where our genes could unlock the path to personalized health.

Kyler Ockey shares some of the breakthroughs that Shed is working on to help people individualize and personalize their health journey. Turns out our genes play an important role in how food, exercise, and our environment affect our physical body. Without knowing how to optimize our genes, we could be doing "everything right" and not get the results we want.
