In this episode, I chat with Alisa Bloom, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in genetic-focused nutrition coaching. We discuss the difference between genetics and genomics, what your DNA can tell you about your wellness needs, and how discovering any genetic variations (like MTHFR and MTHFD1) plays a role in creating a more targeted health plan. Alisa shares insights on managing inflammation, debunks common weight loss misconceptions, and explains who the best candidates are for genomic testing.    Resources shared in this episode: • Functional lab testing • The THR® Method Health Program   You can find Alisa Bloom on her website!   Additional resources: • The (free) wellness personality quiz • The women's holistic health course • The monthly women's health membership • Connect on instagram @theholistic.remedy   What we discuss in this episode: 04:13 — Introducing Alisa Bloom 08:03 — The symptoms of inflammation  09:30 — Genetics vs genomics 10:51 — What your DNA can tell you 11:32 — How genetics affect methylation   12:50 — Our experiences with MTHFR & MTHFD1 16:28 — Creating wellness plans for genetic variations 23:27 — Pretty much everyone has inflammation 24:10 — Excessive exercising deters weight loss 26:01 — Overnight fasting for detox  27:02 — The most common weight loss misconceptions 29:01 — Genomic differences for women vs men 31:38 — Limitations with genomic testing 32:49 — Biggest misconceptions about genomic testing 37:54 — Who's the best candidate for genomic testing? 40:35 — The genomic testing process 45:11 — Difference in addressing women's genomics 48:49 — Naturally raising GLP-1 through DNA results 50:38 — The most surprising thing about genomic testing   51:37 — Relief and empowerment that comes with test results 54:22 — Getting the right health recommendations for you (resource)   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
