<![CDATA[Your Body of Evidence ]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-body-of-evidence Nutrition, neuroscience and the biochemistry of a better life, underpinned.

Your biology has a specific instruction manual. Most people have never read it. Most health podcasts tell you what the research says. The Body of Evidence tells you how to think about what the research means for someone with your specific biology in the context of your life. That is a different conversation entirely.

It governs gene expression, neurotransmitter production, detoxification, and how your body responds to sustained stress among so many other things. Yet many high-performing executives don't fully understand how important it is, and those who have heard of it, often think it begins and ends with MTHFR.

In this episode, Lisa Cutforth unpacks what methylation actually is, why it matters for cognitive performance, resilience, and your healthspan and what happens when it quietly breaks down. No hype. Just the science, and your body of evidence and what to do about it.
