You Are What You Eat: Netflix’s Twin Study on Diet’s Impact

Home » Blog » You Are What You Eat: Netflix’s Twin Study on Diet’s Impact

Netflix’s “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment” explores how different diets impact health. The series features four sets of twins participating in a Stanford study led by nutrition researcher Christopher Gardner. Each twin follows a unique diet: one eats a standard omnivore diet, while the other adopts a vegan lifestyle.

To track the effects, the study uses DEXA scans. These precise scans measure changes in body composition, such as weight, muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density.

The documentary highlights the benefits of DEXA scans. Viewers see how these scans offer detailed insights into body changes over the eight-week study. While the show may seem to favor a plant-based diet, it’s important to view the information critically. Be aware of potential biases and aim for a balanced perspective.

Many viewers find the use of DEXA scans to be “eye-opening” and rate the show “10/10.” Despite some concerns about bias and diet accessibility, the focus remains on the value of advanced health monitoring tools. Critics suggest forming opinions based on a well-rounded understanding rather than the documentary’s potential biases.

As someone who’s needed help with getting their weight loss journey back on track, I had this place recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I did. I worked with Harmun to conduct the scan, and I found the process (along with the results) to be a really fantastic experience! It feels like unlocking a fitness cheat code to have this knowledge, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s serious about getting their health in order!!
