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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
