Summary
In the podcast episode High Protein Breakfast Myths, Genetic Testing For Exercise, Demystifying Brain Waves & More!, I interviewed Matt Reimann about ph360.me, a smart health app based on personalized epigenetics and gene expression.
After that interview, I received an onslaught of questions, comment and relatively disturbing feedback about the "customized" online dashboard Matt and I discussed. People were concerned about everything from a daily recommendation for soy lecithin and sunflower oil, to high amounts of animal protein, to exercise recommendations that seemed too basic and not really customized at all.
So in today's podcast (and the screenshot video in this post), I got Matt on a call to review all my personal ph360.me results via both audio and video. During our discussion, I ask Matt some hard questions, and you'll discover:
-Why some foods that are very healthy for one person can wreak metabolic havoc in your own body...
-How your epigenetics can tell you the time of year you should go on vacation, and exactly the kind of places you should go to...
-How the type of exercises you choose affect your organ function and the fascia surrounding the organs in your body...
-Why pushups work for some people, and will injure the shoulder and chest complex in others...
-How the kind of people you hang out with will affect important hormones such as testosterone and oxytocin...
-The difference between Body Mass Index and Body Fat Index...
-Matt's full response to many of the frustrated comments that came in from listeners using pH360 who felt hampered by food choices and exercise choices being recommended to them by pH360...
-And much more!
