Your Cells are Talking to Each Other What I have uncovered in my own quest for health is a better understanding of the cellular level. It all boils down to our blueprint, our DNA. Our genes don’t work in isolation, they work with each other and the body’s environment. Coupling our diet, our movement, stress levels, emotion- al lives, toxic exposures, inflammation, and so many other factors can influence gene expres- sion. Part of understanding our unique DNA is understanding that the role of epigenetics and the ability to turn on and off gene expression, is key. That is the new and fascinating research that is being uncovered in nutrigenomics, it un- veils the bigger role on how our lifestyle habits influence our ability to be resilient. What if I were to tell you that exercise actually
inflames your body and makes you gain weight, or that the second cup of coffee will not metab- olize out of your body in time to go to bed and is interrupting your sleep. What if I told you your body does not produce enough of the hormone leptin, so you will never feel satisfied after eating a meal. Once you understand how your body is designed, or pathways that may be compromised, it provides me with valuable information to start looking for root issues. This is one example of how I look at an in-
dividual for health dis-ease causes. I look at gut integrity, hormone imbalance, stress, toxic exposure, exercise, sleep, hydration, and emo- tional wellbeing. I ask the questions people don’t think to ask themselves because they may not see the connection. I have been trained to hunt for these answers because I have been seeking these answers for myself most of my life. I want people to lose weight, and more importantly, I want them to feel great, optimize their health, and live their best life in the most resilient way. •
