Optimal Metabolism Podcast

Dr. Matt Dawson is the CEO and co-founder of Wild Health– a refined medical service providing personalized, genetics-based care. Dr. Dawson’s curiosity surrounding the role of genetics first peaked when he watched a friend adopt a personalized treatment plan for chronic disease and heal much more effectively than he had when following a generalized treatment protocol. It was fun to review parts of my genetic test results with Dr. Dawson in this episode along with discussing the insight genetic testing offers into one’s understanding of their unique physiology.
