About this listen

In this episode, we dive into the science of eating disorders and their genetic origins with Dr. Michael Lutter MD, PhD, psychiatrist, a physician-scientist, and author of GIFTED: Genetic Information for Treating Eating Disorders. Join us as we uncover the fascinating world of genetic research and its implications for eating disorder care. Dr. Lutter breaks down how mutations in our DNA can impact everything from metabolism to appetite regulation, potentially complicating both treatment and recovery. Using "exome sequencing", Dr. Lutter tailors treatment plans based on a patient's unique genetic makeup, offering hope for those who’ve struggled to find effective care. If you’ve ever wondered about the role genetics play in eating disorders—or you’re looking for new insights into your own treatment journey—this episode is a must.
