S 466: Genetics Over Energy Balance? Examining a Recent Headline on Winter Weight Gain, The Rise of Consumer Genetics Testing, and More!

Sam Miller Science

You've undoubtably seen the rise of consumer genetics testing and while they are a useful tool and fun to interpret the results, we can't lose sight of the role of appetite, energy balance, and lifestyle factors when it comes to a client transformation or your own. I recently came across a study about winter weight gain, blaming genetics instead of everything we talk about on this platform. We'll discuss the potential pitfalls of genetics testing and why we need to be chiefly concerned about exercise, nutrition, sleep, and other lifestyle factors. Topics include:

- Recent Headline on Genetics over Appetite?

- Rise of Consumer Genetic Testing

- The Importance of Understanding Energy Balance

- Your Past Exercise and Nutrition Intake

- False Negatives and False Positives

- My Book Metabolism Made Simple

- My FNMS Program
