## Resource

Today’s guest is Gary Te Roller, a DNA nutritionist who blends modern science, functional health, and ancestral practices. His whole approach is pretty different. Where most people add more supplements, more protocols, more “fixes”, Gary works the other way around. He looks at things like genetic analysis, blood chemistry, even Ayurvedic assessment, to strip away what’s actually getting in the way so the body can do what it’s designed to do. His path into this wasn’t straightforward. He went through a tough period in his life, including addiction, and that’s what pushed him to question everything around health and the way we approach it. That turned into over a decade of studying what actually works, not what’s trending or being sold, but what the research really says when you look a bit deeper. His philosophy is simple: stop fixing, start aligning. In this episode, we talk about his journey, what functional health really means, and why he thinks modern healthcare often misses the bigger picture. We also get into things likeenvironmental toxins, different types of stress, how to better align with your body day to day, and even things like personalized sleep and simple habits that actually move the needle. So, let’s get into it and welcome Gary Teroller.
