    How to Use Genetic Testing in Your Practice / Dr. Jeffrey Bland & Anne-Catherine Færgemann

    Practitioners now have more genetic data than ever. The hard part is knowing what to do with it. Dr. Jeffrey Bland, nutritional biochemist and widely known as the father of functional medicine, joins Oskar alongside Anne-Catherine Færgemann, clinical dietitian, co-founder of Nordic Laboratories and DNA Life, and Oskar's mother. Jeff shares why he gave up a tenured professorship to teach doctors about nutrition, how his retired father came back to run the business side, and what decades of pushback have taught him about building something new in health. Together they cover how genetics moved from fixed fate to gene expression, how practitioners can bring genetic testing into their practice, what's changing in DNA Life's upgraded DNA Mind test, and why Jeff calls polyphenols the dark matter of nutrition. Running through all of it: tools are only as useful as the education behind them. This episode is sponsored by Nordic Laboratories and DNA Life, where Oskar and Anne-Catherine work.

    Selling Science on Social Media with Dr. Tyler Panzner | From $50 Consults to 1,000+ Clients

    The conversation with Dr. Tyler Panzner delves into the significance of genetic testing in understanding individual health and wellness, emphasizing how genetics can inform dietary choices and supplement use. Dr. Panzner shares his personal journey with genetics, the complexities of genetic testing, and the importance of personalized medicine in achieving optimal health outcomes. -- Dr Panzer learned it the hard way. Burnt out during his PhD, he went back into his own raw DNA data and found that some of the well-researched supplements he took every day were revving up his nervous system instead of helping. Then he built a business out of it. He started at $50 a consult, with no following, not even sure a PhD could work as a practitioner. Today he's worked with over 1,000 clients and built an audience of hundreds of thousands. He's never run a single ad. In the episode we get into the genetic report that recommended curcumin, then told the same person a line later that they were prone to low iron. Why a 200-page report can be as unhelpful as a five-gene one. The quiz-based "personalised" supplement packs I'd tell anyone to avoid. And how he built a personal brand with no marketer, at a time when AI lets anyone sound like an expert. Most of the supplement industry makes money when you buy more. Tyler built his business on helping people work out what they actually need, and what to stop taking. If you've ever bought a supplement because someone online swore by it, or you're a practitioner wondering how to build a brand, start with this one.
