Genetic testing should actually empower the individual versus scare them. Once you dedicate time to learn how to interpret StrateGene®, determine the direction that you want to go with it - use it as a map. StrateGene® isn't an answer; it's a roadmap. At Seeking Health, we don't enable you - we provide you with information that allows you to determine where you want to focus on your health, how you want to do it, and then what tools you need in order to do it. You have to put the work into it but if you know your genetic variations and that certain environmental influences really affect your genetic expression either for the worse or for the better, that's extremely empowering. - Dr. Ben Lynch Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Swan and Stacey Colino How Dr. Ben defines wellness now compared to two years ago during his first interview on Wellness Force. What Is Wellness? The Truth Will Set You Free Power Quotes From The Show The Detrimental Effects of Over Exercising "I always say that 'health' is a four-letter word spelled 'w-o-r-k' and you have to be able to understand what empowers your genes to work efficiently and what makes your genes work harder. Exercise is phenomenal but if you work too hard than your genes are getting too dirty and they can't handle it and they start calling on other genes to support it and then they also get overworked and overburdened and you start breaking down." - Dr. Ben Lynch Dangers of Undiagnosed Histamine Intolerence "Histamine testing is inherently not very useful and that is why histamine tolerance is so undiagnosed. People literally struggle for decades; on average it goes undiagnosed for a minimum of 6 years. So people are struggling with all of these histamine-associated issues like sensitivity to Wi-Fi or perfumes and excessive irritability, difficulties falling asleep, headaches, exercise-induced asthma, eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, chronic sinus issues, bloody noses, or ringing in your ears." - Dr. Ben Lynch Having a 'Nature First' Mindset "Humans need to always remember 'Nature first.' Anytime that you get stuck somewhere in your health, you need to come right back to the basics. Take off your shoes and socks and walk in nature. Walk on a forest floor, not grass that has been sprayed with chemicals. Go out in nature on a trail or step into the ocean or a lake. Just immerse yourself in Mother Nature and breathe that air; hopefully in a clean environment because that's where we came from, that's where we're going to end up again, and that's where we should be each day." - Dr. Ben Lynch Links From Today's Show  StrateGene® - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Seeking Health - Get 10% off of your order with the code 'JOSH' 353 Dr. Ben Lynch CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch Dr. Bruce Lipton 140 Chris Kresser Dopesick Official Trailer | Hulu Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker 297 Mike Mutzel: The Truth About Fasting 380 Mike Mutzel | Syndemic vs. Pandemic: What The Health Do We Do Now?

Dr. Ben is uniquely qualified to talk about our individualized health. He is a global expert in understanding the roles that genes play in our lives.  Dr. Ben is the author of the hit book "Dirty Genes" and creator of Stratagene the comprehensive and easy to read genetic test.  In this direct and impactful conversation we cover: • Episode starts immediately with conversations about electromagnetism in the home, and the systems he uses to reduce dirty electricity. • We cover the intuitive design of Dr. Ben’s new version of Stratagene genetic testing •Who’s a good candidate for getting genetic testing •Consider, diet, environment, movement as it pertains to your genes •Health factors: environment, lifestyle, food and medications - what cleans your genes •The reason why we are not being educated to enhance our own health “You’re not getting news information, you are being manipulated.” “Health is political, you can’t separate the two” “My work is emphasizing the science of common sense.” •The awareness that many people don’t want to be healthy. They would rather be overweight and rely on steroids than have good discipline •Should the government be in charge of our health?

Dr. Ben Lynch is the best-selling author of Dirty Genes and a leader in the field of nutrigenomics. He's also president of Seeking Health, an innovative company providing supplements, courses, and tools designed to help people overcome genetic dysfunction and optimize health. After earning his Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Washington, he then obtained a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University where he now serves on the Board of Trustees. Dr. Lynch lives in Seattle, WA with his wife and three sons.   Listen and learn about Dr. Lynch's story- his WHY and mission.  Do you watch his IG for updates on coronavirus protocol to stay healthy on the inside and out…maybe add how our genes, epigenetics and supplements needed to thrive right now? We start by reviewing the basic terms on epigenetics and “DIRTY GENES” How do we use our genetic reports to create an individualized health building program using nutritional therapy and lifestyle improvements (THE WHOLESTIC METHOD!)? How do endurance athletes know if they are fit and healthy… if they are going to train for endurance events- what can they do to optimize their health at a cellular level to improve fat loss, athletic performance and longevity? How can we use genetic reports- StrateGene to optimize our health, performance and longevity?  Chronic stress, accumulation of external and hidden internal stressors- how does this impact our health and how does our genetics influence our outcome  We talk about how we can't out supplement poor lifestyle habits (including over training and under recovery) to support, stimulate or substitute as we say as FDN Practitioners… Substitution: for missing vitamins and minerals that are no longer in the food supply, even organic food can lack nutrients Stimulation: most vitamins, minerals and herbs. For example, vitamin B-12 provides stimulation to the liver, echinacea stimulates the immune system Support: temporary support or support for vital voids, for those who may be lacking in normal production. Examples, digestive enzymes and HCl, adrenals, etc. “Dirty Genes is an empowering, actionable, and practical guide on how to optimize our health and make the best of our genes. I highly recommend this book to every person who is struggling with health challenges or simply wants to optimize their health.”  “After suffering for years with unexplainable health issues, Dr. Ben Lynch discovered the root cause—“dirty” genes. Genes can be “born dirty” or merely “act dirty” in response to your environment, diet, or lifestyle—causing lifelong, life-threatening, and chronic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, obesity, cancer, and diabetes. Based on his own experience and successfully helping thousands of clients, Dr. Lynch shows you how to identify and optimize both types of dirty genes by cleaning them up with targeted and personalized plans, including healthy eating, good sleep, stress relief, environmental detox, and other holistic and natural means. Many of us believe our genes doom us to the disorders that run in our families. But Dr. Lynch reveals that with the right plan in place, you can eliminate symptoms, and optimize your physical and mental health—and ultimately rewrite your genetic destiny.
