Ask Why Medicine
Why should I change my lifestyle if I feel like I’m healthy and doing all of the right things?
In this episode, Dr. Gina Pritchard and Patti DeMatties discuss some lifestyle changes that can have a large impact on one’s health.
Gina and Patti go through their acronym “BLESSED,” which helps practitioners and patients alike to start making healthy changes in their lives. The two discuss using genetic testing results as a helpful tool to guide one's lifestyle, as well as the fact that “one size does not fit all." Additionally, they describe different techniques to manage stress, including taking a conscious approach to allow your body to rest, digest, and heal.
“Genetic testing and actually knowing what a patient’s genes are telling us is a really good start for a guide for their lifestyle.” -Patti DeMatteis, ASDH, RDH
