From DNA to Diet: Personalizing Nutrition After Bariatric Surgery" with Featured Speaker: Sarah Polk, MS, RDN, CSOWM, LD
Can your DNA unlock the secret to breaking through weight loss stalls? In this episode of the Very Connected Podcast, registered dietitian Sarah Polk joins us to break down how Nutrigenomics testing uses your unique genetic makeup to create a personalized nutrition, supplement, and exercise blueprint.
If you are a bariatric patient (pre-op or post-op), using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, or struggling with unexplained fatigue and weight stalls despite "doing everything right," this episode will explain how your genes dictate your health!

IN THIS EPISODE: Generic "one-size-fits-all" dietary advice doesn't work because our bodies are genetically wired differently. Sarah Polk, MS, RD, LD, explains the science of Nutrigenomics—the study of how our genes influence our response to nutrients, vitamins, caffeine, and exercise.
Discover how a simple, 15-second cheek swab can test over 70 different genes to reveal:
Why you might have a chronic Vitamin D or Iron deficiency (even while taking supplements).
If your body actually tolerates high-fat diets (like Keto) or high-carb diets.
Whether caffeine is secretly hurting your sleep, heart health, or anxiety.
Your genetic predisposition to snacking, sweet cravings, and obesity.
The best type of exercise for your body (strength vs. endurance) and your injury recovery risks.
