We come from very different backgrounds.
If you look at any of the research, for example, like a really interesting point on genetic testing.
If you're not taking account genetic background on that, genetic testing for things like nutrition, precision nutrition, is entirely worthless, right?
Because we see classic markers that are associated with, say, more effective carbohydrate utilization or fat utilization or body composition.
And they might predict a decent percentage of variance in European Caucasians.
You apply those exact same things to West African or East African, and those variants go to zero.
People forget that part when they start talking genetic testing.
They have not been validated across all ethnic backgrounds.
The ones that have, have shown they range from like 40% variance to zero.
So like really, like you're way, way, way ahead of the cart here paying attention to things that just do not matter.
We got to get you on a system that works.
Okay, great.
For some people that might be more nutritionally based.
You can lose and preserve muscle mass really well by just going decently high on protein and then regulating your calories.
The example I gave you earlier, you want to go more carbs, less fat, great.
You want the opposite?
We can play those levers.
No problem.
All right.
What's your problem though?
