Increasingly in today’s world, emotional and physical toxicity is on the rise. It can be a minefield to figure out how to maintain optimal physical and mental wellbeing, as different things work for different people.
Yoga, breathwork, meditation, counseling, mindfulness, and massage can all help some people some of the time. However, sometimes we just don’t know what is wrong or what to do about it. We simply feel out of balance—perhaps you have experienced this?
Tailored Wellness Based on Your DNA
We are dealt a hand at birth, provided with genes from our parents that remain static. However, we now know their functionality is influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, toxins, and stress. So wouldn’t it be useful to know what nutrition, diet, exercise, and self-care you need based on your personal genetic makeup? It’s like getting a roadmap for your life, so you’re not wasting time and money shooting in the dark, trying this and that, hoping something will work.
Until recently, genetic methylation testing and treatment, which provides personalized and actionable lifestyle recommendations for long-term health and wellbeing, was out of reach for most. But nowadays, gene expression profiling is accessible and can be life-changing, even life-saving. In gene array testing, analysis identifies genetic variants associated with specific predispositions, nutrient needs, or drug responses, as well as genetic variations among individuals. This information allows valuable insights, enabling informed decisions for your health, wellness, and longevity.
The Hidden Impact of Stress
Most people are aware that diet and lifestyle make a difference, but stress is often pushed under the carpet. However, stress can exacerbate every known metabolic disorder. People with depression may get more depressed, people with alcoholism may fall off the wagon, and people with cardiovascular disease may experience chest pain or a heart attack. Some people literally die from stress.
Dealing with trauma and finding the right help are also critical components. But building on your personal blueprint, at whatever stage of life, just makes sense.
