Podcast. Kristina Hess is a health coach and clinical
nutritionist. She attended Wesleyan University and obtained her

In their discussion, Tro, Brian, and Kristina talk about the
value of understanding the specifics of one’s genetics for
optimizing nutrition, how genetics can explain why certain diets
work for certain people and not others, certain dietary
guidelines that will generally work for all people, the pros and
cons of including dairy in one’s diet, and the importance of
knowing when to use low-carb replacements for sugary/processed
foods and when to cut them out.
