fitNERD
Fit Nerd is where faith, fitness, and science collide. We geek out on genetics, health, and training — all while keeping Christ at the center. From nutrition and hormones to joyful movement and real-life faith, you’ll discover how to work with the body God designed so you can feel strong, energized, and fearfully fit. I like to explore the current trends- food, exercise, and lifestyle- and discuss who that trend will benefit and why.

Episode 20: Updates on Genetics, Peptides, and Changes in Nutrition Polices
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m sharing some real-life updates and what I’ve been seeing lately with genetics, toxins, and how our environment is quietly shaping our health (and our kids’ health 👀).
I break down genetic expression in a way that actually makes sense—and why your genes aren’t your destiny, but your inputs matter.
We talk peptides: what I’m seeing with growth hormone support, healing peptides, and why personalized protocols beat one-size-fits-all every time.
I dive into school nutrition—how we went from real food to ultra-processed cafeteria meals, and why the return of things like whole milk is a big deal.
I unpack the growing push to remove seed oils and artificial junk from kids’ food, and why this matters for gut health, behavior, hormones, and long-term metabolic health.
