Getting into the Nitty Gritty with Genetic Testing

Bio-Individuality: No One Size Fits All

Joe Cohen Notable Quotes

“One therapy, drug, lifestyle, approach, diet usually doesn’t always work for the same person. Even if I find someone very similar to me, and a lot of the same things helped them, there’s going to be a lot of things that they respond differently to.”
Joe Cohen

 

Episode Summary

In a world where there’s a multitude of approaches toward the “right” kind of diet and lifestyle, what many people don’t realize is that there’s no one size fits all. One person might respond better to a ketogenic diet compared to another person who fails at it but is successful on a Mediterranean diet. And all that is because of a difference in genetics and bio-individuality.

In this episode of Health Coach Academy, we’re talking to SelfDecode CEO and Founder, Joe Cohen to walk us through the role that genetics plays in an individual’s success on a certain diet or lifestyle. He also sheds some light on how we health coaches can make the best use of SelfDecode’s services in taking our clients one step closer to their goals.
