Our DNA has been the same for 250,000 years. Over time we’ve introduced foods, habits, and lifestyle changes into our lives that are so different from what each person’s DNA was designed for.

It’s not surprising that our DNA is a little confused. You can stop trial and error, leaving you feeling frustrated that nothing is working and use your DNA to create a lifestyle that actually works for you.

This applies to the food plan you use along with behavioural strategies.

Diet is one thing when it comes to weight loss but the other huge factor is behavioural.

There are many behavioural issues at play when it comes to food and weight loss and some of these things can be affected by the genes you have.

There is a gene that impacts the signal from your gut to your brain telling you that you’re full. There is another one that affects the signal from your tongue that makes you feel satisfied.  

So if you feel you have no willpower and tend to overeat, the issue could be because of your DNA that is delaying signal to your brain indicating you are satisfied and full 🤯 The good news is that there are strategies to deal with this and gain control again.
