Main Points From Today’s Episode

  1. The "Super Seven Genes" from Dr. Ben's book are vitally important to your overall health. If just one of the Super Seven Genes is acting "dirty," you can have a myriad of symptoms, including weight loss resistance.
  2. Factors that can impact your genes include nutrient deficiencies, stress, infection, inflammation, lack of sleep, and exposure to toxins. Dr. Ben’s book helps you identify which of your genes are dirty so you can clean them up and feel better again.
  3. If your mitochondria are dirty, you won’t be able to burn fat efficiently. Adding in glutathione, the master antioxidant, can help your mitochondria function better so they can start burning fat again.
