ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this fascinating episode of Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Emma Beswick, nutritionist and founder of LifeCode GX, for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about nutrigenomics and what our genes can tell us about our health.
Emma takes us on a remarkable journey from the powerhouses of our cells to the pathways behind anxiety, calm and cognitive function, revealing how small variations in our genetic code can have a profound impact on how we feel every day.
Drawing on her own experience of lifelong anxiety and the moment she discovered her GABA pathway was genetically compromised, Emma explains how understanding our individual genetics can transform the way we approach nutrition, lifestyle and wellbeing.
Warm, wise and genuinely eye opening, this conversation will change the way you think about your body, your health history and your potential.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
*Your mitochondria do far more than make energy, they have their own DNA and play a central role in inflammation, immunity and how well you age
*Why chronic inflammation acts like a slow smouldering fire inside your body and what you can do to protect yourself
*Why exercise is the one medicine that cannot be bottled and how it makes you more resilient from the inside out*How tiny variations in your genetic code could explain persistent anxiety, poor energy and feeling overwhelmed and why these are entirely supportable
*Why your GABA pathway could be the missing piece in your mental health and the simple everyday supports that can make a real difference
