The Story of 3x4 Nutrigenomic Testing Dr. Yael Joffe

In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Yael Joffe joins Dr. Kate Kresge to discuss her remarkable journey from architecture student to nutrigenomics pioneer, driven by a personal loss that left her searching for answers. You’ll hear us discuss:

Dr. Joffe is a pioneering figure in nutrigenomics and the founder of 3X4 Genetics. Originally from South Africa, she began her career studying architecture before pivoting to dietetics following her grandmother's battle with cancer. Driven to understand the intersection of genetics and nutrition more deeply, she pursued a PhD in genetics while working full-time. Throughout her career, Dr. Joffe has been instrumental in developing nutrigenomic testing methodologies, including the Darwin methodology used by 3X4 Genetics to analyze genetic markers for potential insights in personalized wellness. Additionally, Dr. Joffe is the author of The Power Of Genetics.
