Personalized Health: Genetics, Nutrigenetics, and Lifestyle Optimization

S4 E54 • Jan 27, 2026 • 28 mins

In this episode, Dr. Alfred Alessi delves into the role of peptides in managing inflammation and introduces the concept of nutrigenetic testing. The discussion covers the influence of genetics and epigenetics on health, emphasizing the importance of personalizing supplements and lifestyle choices tailored to genetic profiles. Key indicators of impaired genetic nutrient pathways are explored, with an overview of the NutraPro genetic panel and its clinical applications. The conversation highlights the personalization of diet and exercise based on genetic predispositions. The episode concludes with insights into Ascend Functional Health and special offers, along with encouragement for listener engagement.

Key Points

  • Inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances can limit the effectiveness of peptides, making foundational health a priority.
  • Genetics influence but do not control health, meaning lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and stress management are crucial in determining gene expression.
  • The NutraPro genetic blood panel helps identify inefficiencies in nutrient absorption, metabolism, and detox pathways, enabling personalized nutrition and lifestyle interventions for optimal health.
