Fifteen years into nursing, I became the patient. Two different auto-immune diagnoses, intolerable joint pain, insomnia, no energy, inability to focus and completely irritable..

I was frustrated and knew this wasn’t all just “in my head.”

I knew we were missing something. My body was showing signs of chronic inflammation, and I was determined to find a better way. I didn’t want more prescription Band-Aids or steroid injections. I wanted my life back, so that’s when I explored the concept of epigenetics:

Our choices, environment, stress levels and behaviors directly impact how our genes behave.

Making different choices, aligned with individualized genetic needs, alters the pattern of chronic disease.  I explored my genetics with a HIPAA protected, medical grade DNA analysis, then created a personalized wellness plan to reconstruct my daily living. Learning I have a homozygous C677T MTHFR mutation means my body is not equipped to self-detoxify effectively. Having genetic variations that increase my inflammatory response means, my risk for chronic inflammation and chronic disease is also greater. This information helped me make new, LIFE CHANGING choices in my daily living.

Within a month, life looked and felt completely different.. BETTER.

Others started asking, I shared and within a year, we helped improve lives all over the United States. Let’s talk about how YOU can learn to live your life better!
