Why do some health issues feel like unsolvable mysteries? It might be your genes trying to tell you something. In this episode of Hacked To Health, we’re diving into the world of genetics with Dr. Christy Sutton, a chiropractor and genetics guru who’s turned her own health struggles—and her husband’s battle with hemochromatosis—into a mission to help others decode their DNA.

Dr. Sutton breaks down hemochromatosis, a sneaky condition where your body hoards iron like it’s gold, leading to serious risks like liver damage, heart issues, and even cognitive decline. But here’s the twist: it’s often missed, and a simple genetic test could change everything. You’ll also get the lowdown on the MTHFR gene, learn why iron levels are a health game-changer, and discover easy tweaks to take control of your wellness.

This isn’t just science talk—it’s a roadmap to dodging health landmines you didn’t even know were there. Tune in and unlock the power of your genes for a healthier, smarter future.
