Radio Show: Gut Smart Gene Smart Diet: An Interview with Donna Gates

When it comes to choosing what to eat, the literature is fraught with confusing research, statistics, and recommendations. Proponents of a variety of diet "religions" purport to have the perfect diet for all of human kind. Studies contradict themselves, and hot-under-the-collar debates separate diet factions. Confusion and overwhelm abounds, and, for many, it results in just giving up and eating what tastes good.

But what if instead of following a particular diet religion, you could based on factors in your genetics, and make smart food choices based on what's best for your unique biochemistry?

Understanding genetics with relationship to food choices, in a new science called nutrigenomics, is what today's show is all about

Join Dr. Ritamarie and Donna Gates, author of The Body Ecology Diet, and learn:

• The impact of your genes on your gut flora
• Why the one-size-fits-all diet doesn't work, and how to customize yours based on your genetics
• What to do if your vitamin D receptors are suboptimal due to your genetics
• The alphabet soup of genes that impact digestion and food effects - NERF-2, FUT, VDR, NAT, TAS1r3, MTHFR and much more
• Genes that effect whether you do well or poorly with saturated fats, and when it's most important to eat a plant-based diet based on genetics
