One of the reasons why we are confused with diet is because\r\nwe hear different stories from people we trust with contradictory outcomes. We\r\nare less likely to change if we are not completely certain of the results. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cKevin lost 20 pounds on a plant-based diet.  He feels more energetic and his skin has\r\ncleared up.  His sleep improved, and he\r\ndoesn\u2019t feel brain fog in the afternoon. \r\nHe is expecting to stay on this diet for life.\u201d  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cJane heard about how we can improve our life by eating what\r\nPaleolithic humans ate.  She started a\r\npaleo diet and improved her digestive issues: no more heartburn.  Her long-standing anxiety is gone.  She has more energy and enjoy life to its\r\nfullness.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cCarol has been struggling with health issues all her\r\nlife.  She was diagnosed with arthritis\r\nat the age of 30.  She changed her diet\r\nmultiple times and saw improvement but still could feel pain in her joints from\r\ntime to time. She developed multiple food intolerance and environmental\r\nsensitivities.   She then realized she\r\nfelt her best while being on a carnivore diet. \r\nShe is thriving, no more pain. \r\nShe eats only animal products and absolutely no plant.\u201d  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cSebastian is an average guy.  He is not on a diet and his BMI is\r\nnormal.  He eats and drink anything he\r\ncan get his hand on from veggies to donut. \r\nHis blood tests are normal.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cMarie is 94 years old. \r\nShe is still very active, and her cognitive functions are exceptional\r\nfor her age. Most of her life, she ate a western diet, drank beer and smoke\r\noccasionally.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How can this be possible? \r\nWho is lying? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hint: they are telling the truth, we just don\u2019t know the\r\nwhole story (more on that later).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Humans evolved to adapt. \r\nWe are genetically variable. We could drop an ability or two to save\r\nenergy. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Adaptability is the reason why some people are intolerant to\r\nlactose and some are not. We used to lose our ability to digest lactose around\r\ntwo-year-old or when it was time for us to be weaned. However, some of our\r\nancestors came from places where dairy herds could be raised safely (Europe)\r\nbecause the climate wasn\u2019t too hot and have developed the ability to digest\r\nmilk. On the other hand, if your ancestors are coming from very hot (or even\r\nvery cold climates such as Inuit) you may not have the ability to digest milk\r\nafter infancy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is only one example on how our body adapted depending\r\non climate, food availability etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This may surprise you but we\u2019ll probably adapt to junk food\r\nif we continue to do so but should we? \r\nIt will get really scary before it gets better.  My children and I are living today. I require\r\na diet that suit me today, not generations down the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your genes can tell you how your body behave.  You can test your genomes with a saliva\r\nsample.  You\u2019ll get the result within a\r\nfew weeks.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our ability to digest carbs is also in our genes.  You may produce a lower or greater quantity\r\nof amylase and this is very important in your quest of the best diet for\r\nyourself. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most of you probably realized a while ago that no specific\r\ndiet can suit everyone.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are three main variants influencing the diet you\r\nshould follow:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

–              Your\r\ngenes<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

–              Your\r\nmedical conditions<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

–              Your\r\nmicrobiome<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your genes<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Genetic testing is somehow recent for the general\r\npopulation.  We are learning about our\r\npotential and weaknesses.  Only a decade\r\nago, those tests were only available to the wealthy.  Now, you can have a good understanding of\r\nyour genome for less than $200.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Having a bad gene for something doesn\u2019t mean your genome is\r\ngoing to behave badly.  We have\r\nmethylation for that. Don\u2019t be scared.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
