In this episode we talk with the incredible Ellie Busby from Vojo health about how her journey into vegan nutrition led her to understanding how our genetics effect our nutritional requirements, how she overcame deficiencies in Vitamin A and Iron after sequencing her genome and discovering she had genes that do not effectly convert the plant form of vitamin A (beta carotene) into the active retinol.
Ellie explains how various genetic mutations but a strain on nutrients such as choline and DHA, and how other mutations can effect vitamin A and Iron, with either too much or too little being absorbed.
