Eating smarter

Louisa Nicola has discussed several aspects related to eating smarter, with particular emphasis on the profound impact food has on our bodies, from influencing microbes to changing genetic expression. In an episode titled "Eat and Sleep Smarter with Shawn Stevenson," she explores how every bite of food we consume can potentially alter our genetic makeup and overall well-being. This idea emphasizes the powerful role food plays in all areas of our lives, transforming every cell and function within the human body. Nicola promotes a deep understanding of nutrigenomics and nutrogenetics to illustrate how foods can enhance body functionalities and overall health 1.

In the same discussion, Shawn Stevenson and Nicola delve into how food acts not only as human tissue and fuel but also becomes waste, which then serves as fuel for our microbes. This multi-faceted role of food highlights the interconnectedness of diet, microbial health, and genetic influences, fundamentally shaping our health on a microscopic level and beyond 1.
