98: The Power of Bio-Individuality in Healing with Teri Cochrane

In this powerful episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, I'm joined by visionary functional medicine practitioner and thought leader, Teri Cochrane, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about bio-individuality—the truth that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health.

Teri shares her compelling personal journey that led her to create her unique approach to wellness, centered on genetics, pathogens, nutrition, and energy. Together, we explore the critical role of personalized medicine, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and the rising incidence of aggressive cancers in younger populations.

We uncover the often-overlooked influence of pathogens, environmental shifts, and the evolving food supply on our biochemistry. Teri introduces us to the concept of epigenetic analysis and how understanding our individual genetic makeup can guide us in making precise, healing dietary and lifestyle choices.

Whether you are navigating cancer, autoimmune illness, or simply trying to make sense of your body’s signals, this conversation is filled with insight, validation, and empowerment.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Bio-individuality is the cornerstone of true health—what works for one may harm another.
• Conventional dietary guidelines often fail cancer patients.
• Pathogens, both viral and parasitic, play a significant role in chronic disease and cancer.
• COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our biochemical balance.
• Functional medicine and epigenetic testing provide a more complete picture of your health.
• Stress responses directly impact immune function and must be managed to heal.
• Understanding genetic variants can help tailor your nutrition for optimal wellness.
• Even foods labeled “healthy” may not be healthy for you.
• There is immense power in listening to your body’s cues and honoring your unique needs.

If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” but still not feeling well, this episode may hold the answers you've been searching for.
