Nutrigenomics
What if your health wasn't at the fate of your genes?
What if aging could look and feel differently?
Welcome to Nutrigenomics!
Nutrigenomics is the science of using nutrition and naturally occurring compounds to impact gene expression.
Research shows health is determined not by our genes but by how genes get expressed, being turned up or turned down.
Oxidative Stress is mutations to our cells from free radicals leading to cellular breakdown and disease. Oxidative stress has been identified as a root cause in close to 200 diseases affecting all the systems in the body.
Just as a cut apple on the counter turns brown, our cells degrade under oxidation that comes from the unavoidable environmental stresses of chemicals in our water, polution in our air, pesticides in our food, breathing fumes when we pump gas, holding cell phones to our ears and even from exercise and more.
What if there was a way to significantly reduce oxidative stress?
What if there was a way to activate your body to turn on hundreds of survival genes and turn down genes associated with inflammation, scar tissue, and many other things you don't want.
The good news.... There is! And you don't need to take my word for it. It's been validated by research at these top universities and institutions with findings published at pubmed.gov.

So how does it work? Well our bodies are being bombarded by 300 septillion free radicals a day like a raging house fire.
We used to think antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and others were the answer but we now know those direct antioxidants are like throwing a dixie cup of water on our house fire fighting free radicals at a rate of 1:1.
Scientists have now shown there’s a better way to “activate your system” turning up your body’s ability to heal by making its own indirect antioxidants.
Instead of neutralizing harmful free radicals as a rate of 1:1, indirect or endogenous antioxidants, are capable of fighting free radicals at a rate of 1 million:1, like a sprinkler system and fire hose in every room of your burning house. That's huge!
Activation can supports healing by:
- reducing oxidative stress
- reducing inflammation and fibrosis
- improving mitochondrial function for cellular energy
- optimizing sirtuin activity for executive functioning outperforming the benefits of severe caloric restriction - increasing mental clarity and focus
- improving mood stabilization
- improved sleep
and so much more!
For me personally, activation has meant better sleep, more energy and focus, faster injury recovery, reduced incidence and duration of illnesses, and so much more. As a healthcare practitioner and a mom, those changes make all the difference!
For my clients, activation has been a missing piece of the puzzle for so many.
Through yoga and myofascial release therapy, I can help support the body biomechanically.
Through nutrigenomics, I can help you support your body biochemically as well.
With the addition of nutrigenomics, I see clients:
- feel better with less aches and pains
- have more energy and feel more positive
- and simply get better faster!
As a practitioner, my role is to support you in your healing and through overall health optimization by at least offering all the tools in my arsenal. I'm honored and grateful to be able to offer such a powerful option for health.
I welcome the opportunity to explore if this is right for you and how you could put nutrigenomics to work for you in reaching your own personal health goals.
