Our genes uniquely define our physicality – this much is known to most people. However, genes influence every single aspect of our life, not just physicality. we look different from each other because of our genes, we also differ from each other in health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, disease and every other aspect of physicality and physiology. The age where the same “standard” template treatments, medicines, advice, diets, exercises were given for everyone is over. The future is unique to every one of us. In this session you will hear some new and exciting developments in the science of genetics and their application towards personalized health and wellness.
