Our genes have a profound impact on what we can comfortably eat and digest. Experts like Teri Cochrane, Founder and CEO of Beyond Nutrition, dedicate their time to helping us figure out the complex world of epigenetics. Teri shares her personal journey as a mother determined to find answers for her son's health challenges, which led her into the field of epigenetics. She developed The Cochrane Method, an approach that explores how nutrition affects gene expression and its impact on our overall well-being.
