What if the reason your diet isn't working has nothing to do with willpower - and everything to do with your DNA? In this episode of Making Healthy Easy, we sit down with Rachel Clarkson, the UK's leading DNA dietician and founder of The DNA Way. Rachel breaks down the science of nutrigenomics — how your unique genetic variations influence the way your body responds to food, caffeine, exercise, and more.
