Epigenetics

The study of heritable changes caused by the activation and deactivation of genes without any change in DNA sequence.

Genetics vs Epigenetics

Your genes are not your destiny.

Over 99% of a person’s DNA is the same as any unrelated person’s DNA. But the remaining 1% is unique to you and dictates obvious traits such as eye, hair and skin color as well as less obvious traits that have tremendous effects on your health and behavior. Let me introduce you to the emerging field of epigenetics. We are born with a fixed genetic blueprint, but you can actually change the expression of your genes. There are many factors that influence wether or not your genes are being read. Nutrition, lifestyle, environment and mindset can positively shift your genetic expression, leading to exceptional health outcomes.

Implement

I provide personalized recommendations that will enable you to positively shift your genetic expression

Genetic Testing

Your biological blueprint

Genetic testing can prove to be a powerful tool for identifying genetic variations that can have significant impacts on how your body functions along with associated health outcomes. Think of your genes as your body’s instruction manual. Testing will allow you to gain an in depth understanding of how your body is programmed to function. This will elucidate which genetic variants to focus on. The test itself is non-invasive and requires a simple mouth swab. I work with a small independent lab for analysis and take measures to ensure that your genetic data is unaffiliated with your personal information, thus allowing you to remain anonymous.

Geneitcs Covered
  • Macroutrient Requirements
  • Micronutrient Requirements
  • Food Sensitivities
  • Sleep Propensities
  • Detox Pathways

Interpretation

A complex systems approach

Your genetic blueprint codes for every form and function that your body carries out. It basically serves as the software or operating instructions that informs your body how to carry out tasks and manufacture different proteins and enzymes. I assess your genetic test results and identify the most impactful gene variants as they relate to your personal goals and desired outcomes. I am here to interpret your genetic data and explain the implications in a way that makes sense.

Bio-Individual Recommendations

While your DNA remains fixed, the expression of your DNA is highly variable depending on your environment. Think of your environment as all of the inputs that your body receives (i.e. food, light, temperature, movement, sleep, stress, toxins, etc.) Segments of our DNA are affected by all of these inputs and can actually dramatically change the way your genes are expressed, altering the way you look, feel and perform. I assess and explain exactly what changes in your environment will alter the expression of your genes in the most favorable way. This process takes a whole systems approach to wellness and eliminates the guess work of determining what will help you to achieve the results you desire.
