In this episode I talk about DNA food intolerance tests and why using a DNA test to decide macro splits and exercise types is not worth your time or money!
I will also go into why some people use these tests, what to do if someone offers you a diet based off a DNA test & how some practitioners get away with putting out such bad information.
