Do You Think You Need Genetic Testing
Understanding our genes and genetics is paramount in unraveling the intricate blueprint of our existence. It’s what we’re dealt, though so much of our lifestyle, energetics, etc. can all contribute to our health concerns. In fact, while genes make up anywhere from about 5-10% of our health outcome, so to speak, we really do have a lot more say in the matter than we’re led to believe.
Our genes contain the instructions that determine our physical characteristics, predispositions to certain diseases, and even our behaviors and personalities to some extent. By delving into our genetic makeup, we gain a deeper comprehension of who we are and why we are the way we are.
Knowledge of our genes empowers us to make informed decisions regarding our health and lifestyle choices. In fact, did you know:
-if we have trouble losing weight, and really feel like we’ve ‘tried everything’, there’s about 5 major genes that could affect appetite, weight regulation, and more, that if we know which version you have (i.e. all, part, or no working parts of the gene), can BOTH be motivating and enlightening to follow some newfound advice! Or get re-motivated on what you’ve already been doing.
When it comes to hormone balance, there’s an enzyme that also has a certain genetic make-up called COMT that is also an important part of our detoxification cycle.. which if we’re not detoxing then hormones can get recirculated throughout the body and cause further issues.
Not fun.
We can explore heart health, pain, anxiety, gut issues, inflammation, and so much more, especially when there’s either a variety of concerns or you’d just like some quantitative information.
FYI, the few different tests I use (depending on price point, what we’re looking for) keep your data. And you’d only have to do this once!
How would you finally like to get that ‘ah-ha’ moment that all the supplements you’ve been taking aren’t quite in vain, or perhaps ready for an upgrade and we can use these tests as guidance. Certainly not the ‘be all and end all’, ‘magic pill’ for your health - as that’s where the work comes in - but I’ll make it as palatable as possible! (pun included) :)
