I sat down with Sachin Patel, founder of Living Proof and creator of the Living Light Reset, and we covered a lot of ground.
We started with something personal... my wife recently discovered through a genetic test that methylated B vitamins were making her feel worse, not better. Once she stopped taking them, she felt significantly better. Her results confirmed it: her body needed non-methylated B's instead. It's a good reminder that what works for one person can work against another, even when it "should" help.
From there we got into the Living Light Genetics test and why it's often more useful for telling you what NOT to do than what to do, how genetics fits into your health plan, and why the last 20% of nuance is what separates "fine" from "great."
The second half of the conversation went somewhere I love—identity. Sachin's take: we're all born as a kind of golden statue, and life just keeps handing us shirts to put on (this label, that expectation, this role) until most of us forget what's underneath. Getting to know your biology is one path back to that. So is the harder, quieter work of figuring out who you actually are.
If you've ever felt like you were doing "everything right" and still not quite there, give this one a listen.
