Latest / Ageless and Timeless Podcast® / Decoding Your DNA: The Personalized Path to Better Health with Kim Ressler
Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: Good morning everyone. This is Michelle Hughes from Ageless and Timeless. Well,
- 0:15Speaker 1: you know I've been saying in many of my podcasts
- 0:19Speaker 1: lately and how customized healthcare is becoming managing our health
- 0:25Speaker 1: span and lifespan. So today I have a wonderful guest
- 0:29Speaker 1: named Kim Wrestler, and she and I've known each other
- 0:32Speaker 1: for a little bit. We met at one of the
- 0:34Speaker 1: typical longevity shows and I got very much enamored with
- 0:40Speaker 1: their products. So we're going to tell you all about
- 0:42Speaker 1: that today. But welcome Kim.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Hi. Michelle's so great, so you yeah, we.
- 0:46Speaker 1: See each other a lot now because Kim is like omnipresent,
- 0:50Speaker 1: She's always being asked to give speeches and so forth.
- 0:54Speaker 1: But Kim, why don't you tell us before we get
- 0:56Speaker 1: into the company and the customized healthcare that we're going
- 1:01Speaker 1: to talk about, to just tell us a little bit
- 1:03Speaker 1: about what ship nutri Genomics is and how you became
- 1:10Speaker 1: the founder and the creator and the CEO.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Go oh, that's a lot of questions in one. Well,
- 1:17Speaker 2: let's see. I think the thing is I struggled with
- 1:21Speaker 2: my own health, just like so many people are right now.
- 1:24Speaker 2: For literally eleven years, I was looking for answers and
- 1:30Speaker 2: you name it, Western Eastern. I tried naturopaths, etc. I
- 1:35Speaker 2: tried so many things, and I wasn't finding to stay
- 1:38Speaker 2: power in my own health. And when I first started
- 1:42Speaker 2: to learn about nutri genomics, which nutri genomics isn't new,
- 1:45Speaker 2: it's just ever evolving. But it was always that thing
- 1:49Speaker 2: for the rich and famous, the elite, because it was
- 1:51Speaker 2: very expensive and very hard to ultimately get to where
- 1:56Speaker 2: we needed where you needed to go. Genetics is complicated, confusing,
- 2:00Speaker 2: et cetera. Anyway, when I understood that my own genetics
- 2:06Speaker 2: literally tell me, because we aren't what we eat, were
- 2:09Speaker 2: what we absorb and utilize. But when I understood that,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and when I applied a nutrog genomics approach after eleven
- 2:17Speaker 2: years of struggling, it was like literally flipping light switches
- 2:20Speaker 2: back on in my body. I my energy, my sleep,
- 2:24Speaker 2: my digestion, my skin, my joint mobility. I could go
- 2:29Speaker 2: on and on and on. I mean it was it
- 2:31Speaker 2: was such a drastic change. So I became very passionate
- 2:35Speaker 2: about nutrient genomics and educating people about their own genetics
- 2:40Speaker 2: to use their It's it's not the scary thing it is.
- 2:45Speaker 2: It's literally, let's when So it's used your own genetics
- 2:50Speaker 2: for your own superpower. Right, you understand those strengths and weaknesses,
- 2:54Speaker 2: and we can do something about so many things, because
- 2:58Speaker 2: if you think about it, when we're born, if you
- 3:01Speaker 2: buy a twenty dollars blender, you get an owner's manual.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Right when you were born, you didn't get an owner's manual.
- 3:08Speaker 2: And ultimately, Michelle, you and I, or you and a
- 3:13Speaker 2: man or me and a man, we're ninety nine percent alike.
- 3:16Speaker 2: The little bit that makes this different is really impactful
- 3:20Speaker 2: of how we age. Yes, lifestyle is important, but those
- 3:23Speaker 2: genetic predispositions literally tell us what you need, why you
- 3:28Speaker 2: need it, in the format and the dose, et cetera.
- 3:31Speaker 2: So I've really made it a mission to educate. I
- 3:35Speaker 2: don't think we should be taking twenty thirty forty supplements.
- 3:38Speaker 2: I think we should understand our own biology first and
- 3:41Speaker 2: start there. Save time, money, energy, effort, confusion, frustration, et cetera.
- 3:48Speaker 2: So I've just I've become very passionate about this, and
- 3:50Speaker 2: it is. Yes, my mission is to educate people that
- 3:55Speaker 2: we should be starting with you your biology, under standing
- 4:00Speaker 2: the what and why. So that's a little bit about
- 4:03Speaker 2: me and why why? But yeah, SNIP is. Snip's been
- 4:10Speaker 2: around for four years and we're in the United States
- 4:15Speaker 2: and Canada. We are slowly expanding out. But our key
- 4:19Speaker 2: cornerstone is continue to educate, UH, to continue to educate
- 4:25Speaker 2: so that people. I think the thing, Michelle is when
- 4:28Speaker 2: I was struggling, I didn't know the questions to ask,
- 4:32Speaker 2: and now seeing my genetics, I know better the questions
- 4:36Speaker 2: to ask, even about different things. I know the things
- 4:39Speaker 2: to track, et cetera. So it's it's almost like this
- 4:42Speaker 2: amazing self awareness and just knowing being in my body.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I feel really good.
- 4:49Speaker 3: You know.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's interesting that you and the way that's a very
- 4:52Speaker 1: elegant way to describe your journey and and also the
- 4:57Speaker 1: company and what and what it's proficient wishing. So I
- 5:01Speaker 1: really appreciate that. Why don't you back up for a
- 5:03Speaker 1: second and define nutrigen genomics for people?
- 5:07Speaker 2: Okay, So each of us have our own genetics, right,
- 5:11Speaker 2: that's your blueprint, what you were born with, you've inherited
- 5:14Speaker 2: from your mom and dad, and then so that's genetics.
- 5:18Speaker 2: And then nutrient genomics is the study of your genetics
- 5:22Speaker 2: based on nutrition, and nutrient genomics goes after what we
- 5:26Speaker 2: call actionable genes, so genes that we can influence with
- 5:32Speaker 2: plant based nutrition, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. So let me
- 5:36Speaker 2: let's just explain the difference between actionable and non actionable.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Like Michelle, what are you five? Seven five eight five six?
- 5:43Speaker 1: But I really mind being five to seven eight, but
- 5:47Speaker 1: thank you for making me taller.
- 5:49Speaker 2: We always want to be tolerant, right. I can't take
- 5:52Speaker 2: and work with your genetics that you're five to seven
- 5:55Speaker 2: and make you six foot two, right, that's that's non actual.
- 5:59Speaker 2: The same with your eye color. You've got beautiful brown
- 6:02Speaker 2: eyes or blue eyes or green eyes. That's but we
- 6:05Speaker 2: have markers or genetic markers that impact heart health, our
- 6:10Speaker 2: body's ability to detox are inflammatory response, our immune resilience, mood,
- 6:18Speaker 2: cognitive function, oxidative stress. There's many genes that are that
- 6:22Speaker 2: are called actionable, which fields out the nutro genomic aspect
- 6:27Speaker 2: of understanding your genes what you need, and a lot
- 6:31Speaker 2: of it's plant based nutrition. I mean, it's really crazy,
- 6:34Speaker 2: but it tells us the science is there. It's been
- 6:37Speaker 2: there for a long time and it just keeps evolving
- 6:39Speaker 2: and getting bigger and more beautiful to see this. We
- 6:43Speaker 2: just make all of this really simple because ultimately in
- 6:47Speaker 2: the past somebody would go And that's how I first
- 6:50Speaker 2: learned about genetics. I watched a girlfriend spend ten thousand
- 6:53Speaker 2: dollars in nine months mapping her genes, addressing a key
- 6:59Speaker 2: area of her son. She refused to put him on medication.
- 7:03Speaker 2: They understood through his genes too, that he wasn't he
- 7:07Speaker 2: was that individual because our genetics tell us about this too,
- 7:11Speaker 2: whether or not gluten might might cause a problem. And
- 7:16Speaker 2: I just I was like, aha, wow, but that the
- 7:20Speaker 2: masses can't afford to do that genetic mapping and then
- 7:23Speaker 2: suddenly be on thirty forty I mean that's called pil
- 7:26Speaker 2: fatigue and overwhelm.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Right.
- 7:28Speaker 2: So that's where SNIP is coming in to really simplify
- 7:32Speaker 2: hone in and make it accessible. I'm very passionate about
- 7:38Speaker 2: making the successible to the masses to take control of
- 7:43Speaker 2: their own health.
- 7:44Speaker 1: You know what I was going to ask you when
- 7:47Speaker 1: you talk about epigenetics and nutrient genomics, what would be
- 7:52Speaker 1: the differential?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Well, so, nutral genomics is that nutrition component, right, That's
- 7:58Speaker 2: why that's the nutra Okay, it's the nutrient that's the
- 8:01Speaker 2: nutrition component. I mean epigenetics. You know, our lifestyle, what
- 8:04Speaker 2: we still need to eat clean we need good fresh water,
- 8:08Speaker 2: We need a clean water, we need fresh air, we
- 8:10Speaker 2: need to move our bodies. I'm just one spoke in
- 8:13Speaker 2: the wheel, but I'm here to make it simple because
- 8:16Speaker 2: I mean, I was just even reading an article that
- 8:18Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian was saying she's taking over thirty five supplements.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And I saw that article.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, supplement fatigue. I agree, we don't the body
- 8:28Speaker 2: of the believe it or not too. The body understands
- 8:31Speaker 2: microdosing and that's what we do, but we don't need
- 8:34Speaker 2: to be taking thirty five different supplements. That is honestly
- 8:39Speaker 2: manning crazy. And I understand that supplement fatigue.
- 8:42Speaker 1: So yeah, not only that, we don't know if those
- 8:45Speaker 1: supplements are being absorbed properly. So that's another aspect I
- 8:50Speaker 1: always tell people, being that I'm a real estate developer
- 8:53Speaker 1: by my background, and I use the metaphor of building
- 8:56Speaker 1: a house. You know, you're testing for your genetics and
- 9:01Speaker 1: getting that blueprint before you start anything. It's like putting
- 9:04Speaker 1: the foundation. You would never be able to build a
- 9:07Speaker 1: house if you didn't have a foundation. So it's something
- 9:12Speaker 1: that you know I relate to in terms of an analogy,
- 9:16Speaker 1: but it really does make sense that you should never
- 9:20Speaker 1: really start a health program until you know what your
- 9:23Speaker 1: blueprint is. And I tell everybody you know invest in
- 9:27Speaker 1: the genetics, says, I know, I push a lot of
- 9:29Speaker 1: business your way. I hope they come to you, but
- 9:33Speaker 1: you know, between you and the DNA company, those are
- 9:35Speaker 1: my two you know, favorites. So but but it's not
- 9:39Speaker 1: because I'm trying to push your companies or products. Because
- 9:42Speaker 1: I believe in what you're doing and I know how
- 9:45Speaker 1: valuable it is. Not only it has been for you,
- 9:48Speaker 1: but it has been for thousands of others who have
- 9:51Speaker 1: finally seen the light and know how important it is.
- 9:54Speaker 1: So it is your instruction manual. So let's dive into
- 9:58Speaker 1: that a little bit more. What makes what makes SNIP
- 10:02Speaker 1: unique within the genetics or I don't even I want
- 10:07Speaker 1: to say nutrigenetics because that's going to tell everybody the uniqueness,
- 10:11Speaker 1: but go ahead. What makes you unique?
- 10:13Speaker 3: Healthy circulation is foundational to overall wellness, and nitric oxide
- 10:19Speaker 3: plays a critical role in how the body delivers oxygen
- 10:22Speaker 3: and nutrients where they're needed. Most N one one focuses
- 10:28Speaker 3: on supporting nitric oxide production as a pathway to better
- 10:32Speaker 3: cardiovascular health, energy, and performance. This is an area of
- 10:37Speaker 3: health that often gets overlooked, yet it impacts everything from
- 10:41Speaker 3: brain function to endurance and recovery. N one oh one's
- 10:45Speaker 3: work brings important attention to a system that truly affects
- 10:50Speaker 3: whole body vitality. You can learn more about N one
- 10:54Speaker 3: O one and doctor Nathan Bryan and their approach by
- 10:58Speaker 3: visiting the link in the show or by using the
- 11:01Speaker 3: code age less ten for ten percent off of all
- 11:05Speaker 3: their products.
- 11:08Speaker 2: So what makes SNIP so unique is I am not
- 11:12Speaker 2: giving I'm not flooding you with just a ton of
- 11:14Speaker 2: reports at this time. We aren't doing polygenic risk scores.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I'm not comparing you to the entire population. Okay, that's
- 11:23Speaker 2: not what I do. I'm literally looking at heavy hitting
- 11:27Speaker 2: genes that impact us in aging, that are actionable, And
- 11:31Speaker 2: the biggest difference from what is out there is I
- 11:35Speaker 2: take that information and I custom compound into one foundational formula.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I can make well over three billion formulas, and I
- 11:43Speaker 2: make only one just for you based on your results.
- 11:48Speaker 2: To the microgram a clinical dose of plant based nutrition,
- 11:52Speaker 2: so whole foods vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, but with the right cofactors,
- 11:58Speaker 2: in the right dosage, in the right format, and I
- 12:01Speaker 2: put it into one it's not in then, so we'll
- 12:03Speaker 2: stop right there and we'll say it's not intend to
- 12:06Speaker 2: be the end all be all right, but it is
- 12:08Speaker 2: my daily one thing that I won't miss. I go
- 12:11Speaker 2: to is my code complex, my customized formula that's going
- 12:16Speaker 2: to support support me on the heart markers, the immune resilience,
- 12:20Speaker 2: the immune resilience, my vitamin D receptors, my detox pathways,
- 12:24Speaker 2: et cetera. That is my go to and the one
- 12:28Speaker 2: thing that I stick with and stay on. And it
- 12:32Speaker 2: is the product that truly, I mean, it made a
- 12:35Speaker 2: huge shift in my own health and wellness. So that's
- 12:39Speaker 2: the differentiator we actually and I'll show it to you, and.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I love it because it has your name right Yeah,
- 12:46Speaker 1: it has your name right on. It feels really special
- 12:48Speaker 1: when you go to take your your code complex, you know,
- 12:52Speaker 1: and you say, oh, this is all for me, and
- 12:55Speaker 1: it's customized to who I am. You know, nobody has
- 12:58Speaker 1: no other company has that, right.
- 13:00Speaker 2: That's good.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I know at least that I know. So when you
- 13:05Speaker 1: say the customized supplements, but then people don't take change
- 13:10Speaker 1: the other lifestyle aspects. So how do you deal with that?
- 13:14Speaker 1: Because the supplement is not going to do it all
- 13:16Speaker 1: on its own. If people are resistant to nutrition or stress,
- 13:21Speaker 1: or sleep or exercise or all, you know, the pillars
- 13:24Speaker 1: of hell. So how do you deal with that when
- 13:27Speaker 1: you're dealing with individual clients?
- 13:30Speaker 2: Well, I mean truly, I mean I would have to
- 13:33Speaker 2: say that if you are that person that is wanting
- 13:37Speaker 2: that change, you're struggling. I mean I think that so
- 13:40Speaker 2: many people suddenly like that was me. I was like, wait,
- 13:43Speaker 2: I've hit forty and suddenly I don't feel well. This
- 13:47Speaker 2: is not I mean, And I kept putting that mask
- 13:49Speaker 2: on like I was feeling great, and inside it felt
- 13:52Speaker 2: like I was dying. Okay, So ultimately I was doing
- 13:56Speaker 2: everything else correctly. I was eating really clean, I was exercising,
- 14:00Speaker 2: et cetera. So it wasn't that my body was broken.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I just was given it the wrong the inputs. But
- 14:07Speaker 2: reality is if there's if somebody is taking supplements and
- 14:11Speaker 2: they are trying what I have seen over and over
- 14:14Speaker 2: and over, just like me when I applied the nutro
- 14:19Speaker 2: genomic approach in my life, my sleep was better. My
- 14:23Speaker 2: energy was better. Well what happens when your energy is better? Well,
- 14:27Speaker 2: I naturally go I worked out more. I made sure
- 14:31Speaker 2: I moved my body more. So they all go hand
- 14:33Speaker 2: in hand. We just needs as you know, the collective
- 14:39Speaker 2: of all of us. I mean, we need to be
- 14:41Speaker 2: aware of our bodies. We need to not only that,
- 14:45Speaker 2: but we need to understand it's not just one thing
- 14:48Speaker 2: and how do we it's and it's not perfection, it's
- 14:51Speaker 2: it is not perfection. It's consistency and precision of continually
- 14:57Speaker 2: to do things. So what we have seen is when
- 15:01Speaker 2: when somebody has had maybe they've just really struggled with
- 15:05Speaker 2: chronic bloat, gut issues, et cetera, Well when when they
- 15:11Speaker 2: apply the genomic approach and maybe they start having better responses,
- 15:15Speaker 2: maybe they make different food choices too, or educating them.
- 15:19Speaker 2: There are genes that tell us about your propensity to
- 15:22Speaker 2: have problems with caffeine, gluten, and dairy. I can't formulate
- 15:27Speaker 2: on those specifically, but I can say, hey, you're noticing
- 15:32Speaker 2: inflammation after deary, Maybe so I can guide people to
- 15:35Speaker 2: make those better choices.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Can't.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I can't make them make it?
- 15:39Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Yeah, So, well it seems like today, the consumers are
- 15:43Speaker 1: overwhelmed with information and misinformation by the way, because they
- 15:47Speaker 1: go on you know, the Internet, which is full of
- 15:49Speaker 1: all these people trying to sell you something, but not
- 15:52Speaker 1: always having the scientific How do you help people to
- 15:56Speaker 1: separate the science from the hype.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, we start with your own biology.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Everything that we do is rooted in science. There's I
- 16:07Speaker 2: think it's probably four decades worth of science based on
- 16:10Speaker 2: nutrient genomics understanding. So there's a gene, it's called the
- 16:14Speaker 2: ApoB it's the main protein component of LDL cholesterol. If
- 16:19Speaker 2: the integrity of the cell wall and repairs and communicates,
- 16:21Speaker 2: I mean, and we look at that, and I can
- 16:24Speaker 2: see if you've got markers on that exactly what plant
- 16:28Speaker 2: based nutrition to give you. And I back it all
- 16:31Speaker 2: up with peer reviewed science of why we use are
- 16:35Speaker 2: to choke extract, green tea extract, whatever, whatever the nutrients are,
- 16:41Speaker 2: they're all science. They've got studies, they're peer reviewed studies,
- 16:45Speaker 2: these nutrients supporting this gene. Where you've got what we
- 16:49Speaker 2: call variants or mutations right with glitches whatever you want
- 16:52Speaker 2: to call them, to optimize and function at a higher level.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Well, how many genes do you cover in the test?
- 17:00Speaker 2: We test one hundred and three actionable genes. We custom
- 17:03Speaker 2: compounds on twenty two. We impact genes outside of that,
- 17:07Speaker 2: outside of the twenty two, for sure, But our science
- 17:10Speaker 2: lies in the twenty two key actionable genes that we
- 17:14Speaker 2: formulate on.
- 17:15Speaker 1: So let's let's dive into those genes. What let's talk about.
- 17:19Speaker 1: But because I think you know that everybody reads about
- 17:21Speaker 1: the APO, the Alzheimer's ELIL and the COMPT, and you
- 17:27Speaker 1: know things that are a little more because they want
- 17:30Speaker 1: to know about their stress levels. They're dopamine. But you
- 17:34Speaker 1: know I'm saying that, but not I mean you and
- 17:36Speaker 1: I know that. Of course you know what backwards and forwards,
- 17:38Speaker 1: but people who are not in the world of epigenetics
- 17:42Speaker 1: are nutrient genomics don't always know what these and it's
- 17:46Speaker 1: kind of daunting really when you get the test and
- 17:49Speaker 1: you see all these genes and you say, I don't
- 17:51Speaker 1: understand what they are. You know, so give us a
- 17:54Speaker 1: little tutorial on the top ones, the ones that you
- 17:57Speaker 1: think people really need to know before they dive in
- 18:02Speaker 1: and get their tests and get their results, so that
- 18:04Speaker 1: will be prepared.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Well. I think one of the key ones, the master
- 18:09Speaker 2: switch of your DNA is your MTHFR. Everybody's talking about
- 18:13Speaker 2: the MTHF. However, to really get the full benefit of
- 18:18Speaker 2: addressing if you've got genetic variance, and and we're going
- 18:21Speaker 2: to we'll talk about what that is, but you really
- 18:24Speaker 2: need to address inflammation, oxidative stress. You can't just go
- 18:29Speaker 2: after methylation. So let's talk about MTHFR literally tells us that, hey,
- 18:37Speaker 2: you you cannot take folic acid and convert into the
- 18:40Speaker 2: bioactive format in your body. Okay, we have store bought breads,
- 18:45Speaker 2: breakfast cereals, everything is fortified with folic acid. Right, So
- 18:49Speaker 2: let's think about this. You have a beautiful million dollar
- 18:51Speaker 2: Ferrari sitting in your driveway, right, and it needs premium
- 18:55Speaker 2: unleaded gasoline, and we put diesel fuel into it, right,
- 18:58Speaker 2: is it? What does it doing? It MUCKs up the engine.
- 19:01Speaker 2: So we when we can't take and convert, That's exactly
- 19:05Speaker 2: what's happening in our bodies. The NIH says that about
- 19:08Speaker 2: forty I think it's forty percent of the population has
- 19:11Speaker 2: markers on one or two of the MTHFR genes. I disagree.
- 19:16Speaker 2: I'm going on a limb here. I've done. I'm going
- 19:19Speaker 2: to tell you somewhere between eight and ten thousand DNA
- 19:21Speaker 2: report reviews, and I will tell you, unless it's only
- 19:24Speaker 2: people coming to us with wanting to get healthier, that's
- 19:29Speaker 2: upwards of closer to eighty percent of the population.
- 19:31Speaker 1: It's what I've been told. I mean, you're not the
- 19:33Speaker 1: first one. But why are they so understated? Then, the
- 19:38Speaker 1: so called experts, I mean, there's no real reason to
- 19:42Speaker 1: misinform the public because it's such an important, vital part
- 19:46Speaker 1: of our our health is aloration pathway.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I think it's maybe just based on science, subsets of
- 19:54Speaker 2: people that they tested, et cetera. You know, I'm I
- 19:57Speaker 2: believe that it will continue. Science can tinues to evolve.
- 20:01Speaker 2: It just does. It continues to evolve. So but understanding,
- 20:05Speaker 2: But then once you understand that, and you understand that,
- 20:08Speaker 2: I mean, there is no way I could eat the
- 20:11Speaker 2: amount of food that I mean we have to supplement.
- 20:16Speaker 2: But it's not just that folly in that in that
- 20:19Speaker 2: bioactive format. There are other cofactors like colin and TMG
- 20:24Speaker 2: that need to be added. And that's where it becomes
- 20:27Speaker 2: this mass confusion when you do test with somebody, Because
- 20:31Speaker 2: there's amazing as you said, there's other great DNA test
- 20:35Speaker 2: testing companies out there, but then they give you all
- 20:37Speaker 2: these recommendations. We just take the recommendation and we turn
- 20:41Speaker 2: it into the solution. So I think that's a really
- 20:44Speaker 2: important one. But understanding your detox pathways. You know, we
- 20:51Speaker 2: we detox when we eat and from metabolic processes of
- 20:54Speaker 2: food beat breaking down. We we create waste. Is your
- 20:59Speaker 2: body recycling it or are you excreting it? So can
- 21:03Speaker 2: we look at detox pathways and oxidative stress, et cetera.
- 21:07Speaker 2: So these they're all in my opinion, they're all important.
- 21:11Speaker 2: But vitamin D receptors are important too. And uh, and
- 21:15Speaker 2: we test and formulate on four vitamin D receptors. Let's
- 21:19Speaker 2: talk about vitamin dfferent.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so important because so many people are deficient
- 21:24Speaker 1: and vitamin D three.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Yeah, so if we think about this, vitamin D impacts
- 21:29Speaker 2: over six thousand biochemical pathways in our body. Wow, it
- 21:33Speaker 2: impacts our it impacts methylation. So you see, they all
- 21:37Speaker 2: start working together. Your genes don't work alone. They work
- 21:40Speaker 2: in a beautiful symphony. Just like you don't just listen
- 21:43Speaker 2: to the violinist, you listen to the entire orchestra. Right,
- 21:46Speaker 2: and they all work together. That's what our genes do.
- 21:49Speaker 2: So in the BID, let's go back to the vitamin
- 21:53Speaker 2: D receptor. Though low vitamin D levels are related to
- 21:57Speaker 2: all cause mortality. Okay, So ultimately we look at for
- 22:02Speaker 2: vitamin D receptors understanding we believe, like you said, many
- 22:07Speaker 2: people are deficient. But are you that person that cannot
- 22:10Speaker 2: Like I am that person. I could be out in
- 22:13Speaker 2: the sun, and even though that's hey, great and dandy
- 22:15Speaker 2: and I'm out in the sun, I don't take from
- 22:19Speaker 2: the sun and convert very well in my body. That's
- 22:21Speaker 2: one of the genes. And then another one's how it
- 22:23Speaker 2: releases into the liver and kidneys and how it releases
- 22:25Speaker 2: into the body. So I have to supplement and I
- 22:28Speaker 2: have to take the higher dose of vitamin D to
- 22:31Speaker 2: keep my levels in an optimal range.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Right, So what's that test that gene result called the
- 22:39Speaker 1: vitamin D receptor gene.
- 22:41Speaker 2: It's the VD, it's the VDR. It's a vitamin D
- 22:43Speaker 2: receptor v Okay.
- 22:45Speaker 1: And then so the other one I know you said,
- 22:47Speaker 1: So we know the mp h FI is methylation. And
- 22:52Speaker 1: what's the name of the gene for detox.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Oh, there's there's several genes because again genes don't just
- 22:59Speaker 2: have one role. Mkhfr plays a role in detox but
- 23:04Speaker 2: then we also have the EPHX one that's phase one detoxification.
- 23:09Speaker 2: We have GSTP one, your master glutathion gene oxidative stress
- 23:14Speaker 2: that's phase two detoxification. Multiple genes play multiple roles in
- 23:19Speaker 2: different body systems, and so that's ultimately the way that
- 23:24Speaker 2: we produce it. It is written in a sixth grade
- 23:27Speaker 2: reading language just so you know it is. Is it
- 23:30Speaker 2: a lot of information? It is? But as my husband says,
- 23:33Speaker 2: I don't care about the science. I just want to
- 23:35Speaker 2: know my strengths and weaknesses, and I would know this
- 23:37Speaker 2: may for me, right, great, We're there for him the
- 23:40Speaker 2: person that wants to dive deep. The code report that
- 23:43Speaker 2: is generated CODE stands for custom Optimization of DNA expression.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Where you've got these variants, we want to come in
- 23:51Speaker 2: and support them because we believe that you start at
- 23:53Speaker 2: the genetic level, you'll have healthier cells, healthier tissues, healthier organs,
- 23:59Speaker 2: and over all healthier you. Right, So what we do
- 24:03Speaker 2: in that code report is we line up what what
- 24:06Speaker 2: your markers are. We tell you gene by gene, the
- 24:09Speaker 2: actual nutrients that are going to be put into your
- 24:12Speaker 2: own custom formula. But we also tell you how each
- 24:15Speaker 2: of those genes plays a role in each body system.
- 24:20Speaker 2: And over and over we'll we'll see somebody that's they'll say, hey,
- 24:25Speaker 2: I started on my code complex. I'm really struggling. Da
- 24:27Speaker 2: da da da. Great. I mean because they're they're they're
- 24:30Speaker 2: really invested in their health and they're trying to get
- 24:33Speaker 2: to where they want to go. And so I'll tell
- 24:36Speaker 2: them to take a look back at the code report.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Where do you have a lot of genetic variants? What's
- 24:40Speaker 2: popping up? Because we line it out and and somebody
- 24:44Speaker 2: will come back to me, oh, it's a lot of
- 24:45Speaker 2: I've got a lot of detox markers. Great, let's go
- 24:49Speaker 2: to the detox report and let's look at how each
- 24:52Speaker 2: of these genes because we give you their broad function.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Now we tell you the role of what what it
- 24:57Speaker 2: does in each of the body systems, is how this
- 25:00Speaker 2: gene plays a role in detox. So then you can
- 25:03Speaker 2: go through it more lifestyle tips, right, and then suggested labs.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I'm not going to be somebody's provider. I'm not in
- 25:10Speaker 2: their shoes. I don't have their daily diet, their exercise routine,
- 25:13Speaker 2: et cetera. But I want to guide them to get
- 25:16Speaker 2: to the root cause of what's causing the issue. Maaster
- 25:20Speaker 2: easier and be able to say you're really struggling still
- 25:25Speaker 2: with detoks. Consider requesting these labs from your provider. Is
- 25:29Speaker 2: it mold, is it heavy metals, is it glycosates? You know,
- 25:33Speaker 2: so that you could understand what other thing you may do.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Because SNIP and CODE Complex are not the end all
- 25:41Speaker 2: be all. We are one key component in that whole
- 25:45Speaker 2: health and wellness, which is simple.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Right, which is why why I asked you earlier. If
- 25:50Speaker 1: somebody were going to take the CODE complex or they
- 25:53Speaker 1: didn't change their other lifestyle habits that are contributing to
- 25:57Speaker 1: their feelingly feeling unhealthy, then it isn't gonna It'll just
- 26:04Speaker 1: it'll make, you know, some difference, but it won't make
- 26:07Speaker 1: the the monolithic difference that that we're we're all looking for.
- 26:13Speaker 1: So okay, So, so is there one place that somebody
- 26:17Speaker 1: can go if they want to look at the major
- 26:21Speaker 1: genes by game and what they do. Is there a
- 26:24Speaker 1: resource that or do you offer that in your Okay?
- 26:30Speaker 2: Anybody can go to SNIP Nutrition dot com. You can
- 26:35Speaker 2: download a sample report. There's sample reports, and that contained
- 26:41Speaker 2: the key genes that we custom formulate on and you
- 26:46Speaker 2: can see what it looks like and what what a
- 26:49Speaker 2: formula looks like.
- 26:52Speaker 1: So it's still so so that's right there on your website.
- 26:55Speaker 1: So what's your website.
- 26:57Speaker 2: It's snip s an ip nutrition. Yeah, because nutrient genomics
- 27:01Speaker 2: is too hard to spell, so snip snip nutrition dot com.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Okay, well that's so easy. And so then when you
- 27:08Speaker 1: get on the site, you go to sample.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Scroll to the bottom and click on sample DNA report
- 27:14Speaker 2: and you can get a sample DNA report.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Okay, and then at lists the genes that you're the
- 27:18Speaker 1: twenty two or so genes that you're testing.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Well, we're testing, we test one hundred and three well,
- 27:23Speaker 2: I mean the ones they're formulating on.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, the top I realized that the top of
- 27:28Speaker 1: the fear of mid ones that people Yeah, because you know,
- 27:34Speaker 1: I just in my own personal experience with you and
- 27:37Speaker 1: my test. You know, one of the things that came
- 27:39Speaker 1: out both in your testy and the DNA company test
- 27:43Speaker 1: I did both of them, is that I had the
- 27:46Speaker 1: obesity gene. Well, you know, I've been a size six
- 27:51Speaker 1: or even smaller sometimes, you know, since I.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Was in my teens.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Now, yes, I if I didn't have this lifestyle discipline,
- 28:00Speaker 1: I probably would be fat. I don't think i'd be
- 28:02Speaker 1: obese because but I also have a mindset. Now, this
- 28:07Speaker 1: is another thing that I think people don't realize that
- 28:09Speaker 1: your mental attitude, you know, the way you approach life
- 28:15Speaker 1: and your disciplines, they have a real impact. So somewhere
- 28:19Speaker 1: along the line, God gave me a protective mechanism if
- 28:23Speaker 1: I have that gene. He told me how to be
- 28:26Speaker 1: discerning and how to feel that. I don't feel good
- 28:30Speaker 1: if I have a few extra pounds, So don't ever
- 28:32Speaker 1: let yourself go there. So how do you explain all that?
- 28:36Speaker 1: That's far more qualitative than quantitative.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Absolutely, so, the obesity genes, the FTO genes that you're
- 28:43Speaker 2: talking about, Yes, so remember these are all actionable. Okay,
- 28:49Speaker 2: so let's think about this. So we when we're first born,
- 28:53Speaker 2: when we come out of our mother's wives, we don't
- 28:56Speaker 2: come out with chronic aches and pains, anxiety, et cetera,
- 29:01Speaker 2: even inherited these variants and those are these are these
- 29:06Speaker 2: actionable genes that let's just say somebody, somebody is in
- 29:09Speaker 2: a car accident and that was a trauma on their body,
- 29:13Speaker 2: or the loss of a family member of a dog,
- 29:16Speaker 2: et cetera. Stress things can activate these genes to turn
- 29:20Speaker 2: on and turn off.
- 29:22Speaker 3: For you.
- 29:23Speaker 2: As you said, you've been very discerning about about that
- 29:27Speaker 2: that ft O gene. FTO gene doesn't mean you're going
- 29:30Speaker 2: to be obese. What it means we know if you
- 29:33Speaker 2: have markers on that gene right, and if it is
- 29:37Speaker 2: not functioning optimally, you will tend to eat twenty five
- 29:40Speaker 2: percent more calories before you feel satiated. You will crave
- 29:44Speaker 2: more salty, sugar, fatty foods if it's not optimal. And
- 29:48Speaker 2: we just know the very specific nutrients that we can
- 29:53Speaker 2: apply in the customized formula when you have that to
- 29:56Speaker 2: help with that satiety responsiveness. I mean things like dihydro
- 30:01Speaker 2: burbering burbering. It's they call it the natural ozembic, but
- 30:05Speaker 2: we can apply that and alphalo poic acid to help
- 30:08Speaker 2: keep that just optimize. So and I don't know, Michelle,
- 30:13Speaker 2: I mean if you've ever gone through a stressful time
- 30:15Speaker 2: or something and you just felt like you did want
- 30:19Speaker 2: to overeat or whatever, and even though that's not your
- 30:22Speaker 2: lifestyle day in and day out. But you've got that
- 30:25Speaker 2: variant and that's what we just nutri Genomics comes in
- 30:29Speaker 2: to help optimize at that at that source level so
- 30:34Speaker 2: that it makes it easier for you as well.
- 30:38Speaker 3: You know.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I think there's a point though, Kim, where psychology comes
- 30:42Speaker 1: into play, that we have these other mental processes. Like
- 30:46Speaker 1: when you just said that I would tend to overeat, well,
- 30:48Speaker 1: I would go the other way because mentally, I don't
- 30:51Speaker 1: I know, I don't feel good if I'm eating too much.
- 30:55Speaker 1: It doesn't make me feel optimum. And if A're already
- 30:58Speaker 1: and your stress, why would I do something that's going
- 31:02Speaker 1: to harm me even more? So I go the opposite way,
- 31:05Speaker 1: and we'd eat less because I know that I'm the
- 31:08Speaker 1: stress is going to raise my cortisol, raise my ability,
- 31:12Speaker 1: my uh uh opportunity to gain weight because my cortosol
- 31:17Speaker 1: is so hot. So you see, I think we have
- 31:19Speaker 1: to somehow there's like like the psycho side of all
- 31:22Speaker 1: of this.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean our I think our mindset, our mindset
- 31:27Speaker 2: mental like and and literally like that nervous system in
- 31:31Speaker 2: general is so key in all of this. Again, that
- 31:34Speaker 2: is why I think there is so much noise out there, right, Yeah,
- 31:38Speaker 2: there are so many things to look at. It is,
- 31:43Speaker 2: you know, and if you you do look at blue
- 31:45Speaker 2: zones or you look why people live long. I mean,
- 31:48Speaker 2: it is movement. It is fresh air, good good quality air,
- 31:53Speaker 2: it's clean water, it's community and and that nervous system.
- 31:58Speaker 2: It's and we still need to we need to eat.
- 32:00Speaker 3: We just know.
- 32:01Speaker 2: The reason so many people supplement is because food in
- 32:05Speaker 2: general today is depleted of so much nutrition. I mean,
- 32:10Speaker 2: for me to get the amount of folate just from
- 32:12Speaker 2: that mthfr that I would need, I thirteen cups suspendach.
- 32:16Speaker 1: A day, right, I can't do that, right, It's ridiculous.
- 32:20Speaker 2: And then I mean for other vitamins, like the amount
- 32:23Speaker 2: of be twelve that I need for like let's say
- 32:25Speaker 2: the mt rr gene, which is part of that methylation
- 32:28Speaker 2: pathway that has to do with homossisting healthy heart, keeping
- 32:31Speaker 2: that homeossisting level. I need thirty nine servings of beef liver.
- 32:35Speaker 1: I can't do that. I can't do that, right.
- 32:38Speaker 2: So that's why people supplement. It's just I think that
- 32:42Speaker 2: we've been throwing darts. We have been you know, it's
- 32:45Speaker 2: the classical thing. I've got a headache take an advil
- 32:50Speaker 2: or tie level and it gets rid of it. No,
- 32:53Speaker 2: let's go to the source of you. Let's start there
- 32:56Speaker 2: and understand why your body does what it does, what
- 33:01Speaker 2: it needs to function optimally. And then I mean, and
- 33:05Speaker 2: then and see, because the body was meant I do
- 33:08Speaker 2: believe the body was meant to heal itself. We just
- 33:11Speaker 2: do that right.
- 33:12Speaker 1: We need the right inputs, you know, people like you
- 33:16Speaker 1: and me, though we're actually have angels surrounding us. So
- 33:20Speaker 1: we're very, very lucky because we have a natural instinct
- 33:23Speaker 1: curiosity to want to know why, you know, why do
- 33:27Speaker 1: I feel badly? And then if there are stressors that
- 33:31Speaker 1: we recognize, instead of caving and capitulating to the stress,
- 33:36Speaker 1: we say, okay, we got to figure out how to
- 33:38Speaker 1: get the solution to this, and we're curious to start
- 33:42Speaker 1: with them. We're solution driven and we're not victims. So
- 33:47Speaker 1: we say to ourselves, I have to find a way
- 33:50Speaker 1: out of this. So in order to do that, we
- 33:54Speaker 1: are going to find things that we're going to do,
- 33:56Speaker 1: things in our actions that are going to be protective.
- 34:01Speaker 1: So I always think there are angels on my shoulder
- 34:03Speaker 1: that you know, why is it During those dark moments
- 34:07Speaker 1: that I find light, and that is really to do
- 34:11Speaker 1: a lot with our attitudes are you know what what
- 34:15Speaker 1: what gifts we were given for survival? And there are
- 34:18Speaker 1: many many people who just cave under the stress and
- 34:22Speaker 1: go the other way, you know, whether it's recreational drugs
- 34:26Speaker 1: or alcohol or you know, some substances substance abuse that
- 34:31Speaker 1: changes it. So I guess you know, we just have
- 34:34Speaker 1: to wake up every morning and say thank you God,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and you know, have gratitude to the fact that we
- 34:38Speaker 1: want to know more. And this is what I try
- 34:41Speaker 1: to inspire all my my anyone who will listen, I
- 34:45Speaker 1: try to inspire them with that. You know that that
- 34:47Speaker 1: is a basic, uh paradigm shift in our lifestyle, in
- 34:53Speaker 1: our attitudes about life and how we want to live
- 34:56Speaker 1: each day, because you know, we realize as we get
- 34:59Speaker 1: older that you know, the life is short. I mean
- 35:03Speaker 1: but truly, sometimes I look around and say, I mean,
- 35:05Speaker 1: got twenty five years group have gone by and it
- 35:08Speaker 1: just seemed like, you know, it was nothing. So how
- 35:11Speaker 1: quickly you know time passes when when you are you know,
- 35:15Speaker 1: enjoying or finding meeting. That's the other thing that you know,
- 35:18Speaker 1: those blue zones and all the pillars of health that
- 35:22Speaker 1: people often forget about. Adding is you know, your your
- 35:26Speaker 1: sense of community and connection and and and the love
- 35:30Speaker 1: that you have in your life. Those those are very
- 35:33Speaker 1: very important to no matter what your genetics are. You
- 35:36Speaker 1: know that if you can fight them, fight fight them
- 35:39Speaker 1: with your lifestyle. That's where you know why the blueprint
- 35:44Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a life sentence. And so if,
- 35:48Speaker 1: like if Chris Hemsworth was sitting in front of you,
- 35:51Speaker 1: you know who he is, right, what happened? He got,
- 35:54Speaker 1: you got the bad news about having the APO for
- 35:57Speaker 1: the Hallesheimer's gene and then he just kind of when crazy,
- 36:01Speaker 1: dive up everything in his career in order to be
- 36:04Speaker 1: with his family because he kind of looked at it like, well,
- 36:07Speaker 1: he was just going to get. It was inevitable. He's
- 36:09Speaker 1: going to get all the time. So how would you,
- 36:11Speaker 1: how would you how would you lead him? How would
- 36:15Speaker 1: you instruct him if he were sitting here in front
- 36:17Speaker 1: of you.
- 36:18Speaker 2: That's a great question. How would I instruct him? You know,
- 36:23Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing that you just talked about,
- 36:26Speaker 2: and this is funny that when you said that, because
- 36:28Speaker 2: this is what it was going to say next is
- 36:32Speaker 2: I'm sorry but I'm going to live today the best
- 36:36Speaker 2: that I can, and I'm going to We were put
- 36:40Speaker 2: here to be of.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Service exactly to make a difference, to make.
- 36:45Speaker 2: A difference, and ultimately it like you said, it's not
- 36:49Speaker 2: a death sentence. What it is is, hey, now do
- 36:53Speaker 2: the understand your own body. But personally, we don't test
- 36:57Speaker 2: the apoe I'm just going to let you know we
- 36:59Speaker 2: aren't going after the disease. But what it is is,
- 37:03Speaker 2: I would say, do the things that you know that
- 37:06Speaker 2: can help optimize you the best that you can. Because
- 37:11Speaker 2: Alzheimer's basically what do they call it, or their dementia
- 37:14Speaker 2: looks like do they call it type three diabetes? I mean,
- 37:17Speaker 2: the brain looks the same. So if we can sit
- 37:20Speaker 2: there and support all the other systems to be as
- 37:22Speaker 2: optimal as possible, and you can apply the other lifestyle
- 37:27Speaker 2: edits and changes with the fresh water, the clean air,
- 37:30Speaker 2: et cetera to help support you, I mean, how amazing
- 37:35Speaker 2: is that? And we can go to heart disease. It's
- 37:38Speaker 2: the number one killer still right they say cornary artery
- 37:42Speaker 2: disease is fifty percent genetic and fifty percent lifestyle. What
- 37:46Speaker 2: if you've got these if you've got these genes and
- 37:48Speaker 2: you and you know you can support them. They say
- 37:52Speaker 2: that if you do make those edits and changes, you
- 37:55Speaker 2: can get up to twenty more years of healthy living.
- 37:59Speaker 2: What is healthy living? Healthy living is doing what you
- 38:02Speaker 2: want to do, not being gonna, you know, being being
- 38:05Speaker 2: stuck in one place and not moving our bodies, not
- 38:08Speaker 2: being filled with joy you were intended intended to be
- 38:11Speaker 2: filled with joy, right.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Yeah. I was telling a friend about, you know, going
- 38:17Speaker 1: through some stress, and I said, just when you wake
- 38:20Speaker 1: up in the morning, you have a journal and just
- 38:22Speaker 1: write down three things every day, just three things that
- 38:25Speaker 1: you're grateful for or you know, just say count my blessings,
- 38:29Speaker 1: not my troubles. That can be the title. And and
- 38:33Speaker 1: and then once you know, if you and writing it
- 38:36Speaker 1: down makes it a little more real than just thinking,
- 38:39Speaker 1: although thinking is better than not thinking about it. But
- 38:42Speaker 1: find those things in life that are giving you nourishment
- 38:46Speaker 1: and not depleting you. And and then surround yourself with
- 38:50Speaker 1: people who feed that nourishment side, because you know, you
- 38:55Speaker 1: can get involved in relationships and situations where you're inner
- 39:00Speaker 1: are being distracted by negativity. So I think that this
- 39:05Speaker 1: is again where the psychological side comes in and it's
- 39:09Speaker 1: something that is more subtle and not as measurable. Although
- 39:14Speaker 1: the dopamine, the COMT gene does tell you how well
- 39:18Speaker 1: you are able to use the neurotransmitters, right, And isn't
- 39:22Speaker 1: there also a serotonin another gene that measures your ability
- 39:26Speaker 1: to generate good feelings or is that the same?
- 39:32Speaker 2: Well, the COMET tells us as how we break down
- 39:35Speaker 2: those stress hormones and all of that, and I'm sure
- 39:38Speaker 2: there's many more genes, but yes, yeah, but you've said
- 39:42Speaker 2: it so and you've said it over and over and
- 39:44Speaker 2: I agree with you. Mindset is so so so important.
- 39:49Speaker 2: And I see so many times people identify, they identify
- 39:54Speaker 2: as the condition they have.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Exactly, you can't do that.
- 39:59Speaker 2: I've got I are I've got anxiety and I'm anxious, okay,
- 40:04Speaker 2: So how can we support that and and don't identify
- 40:08Speaker 2: as you know, you can't identify as the condition, identify
- 40:13Speaker 2: as yourself and identify as yourself living healthy. That is
- 40:18Speaker 2: that is so so very powerful.
- 40:20Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the warrior versus the warrior, you know,
- 40:24Speaker 4: always off for being a warrior, finding that, you know,
- 40:29Speaker 4: that resilience that helps you to battle anything.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Because we're all going to have challenges in life. It's
- 40:36Speaker 1: it's just part of the journey. So what do you
- 40:39Speaker 1: do about people who have issues on privacy?
- 40:44Speaker 2: Okay, that's a great question. So remember I told you
- 40:47Speaker 2: we aren't doing polygenic risk scores. So polygenic risk scores
- 40:50Speaker 2: literally are comparing you to a population, right, Okay, I
- 40:55Speaker 2: we are completely hippocompliant. The your physical DNA gets destroyed,
- 40:59Speaker 2: the reason I need it is so that I can
- 41:02Speaker 2: see your results on these genes that are going to
- 41:05Speaker 2: tell me your formula. You get a password protected portal
- 41:09Speaker 2: that only you can get in and it will have
- 41:13Speaker 2: it has your results in it. We don't We don't collect, sell,
- 41:17Speaker 2: or share your data. So I understand that there's been
- 41:20Speaker 2: so much about that. But in reality, also if you
- 41:23Speaker 2: think about it, if they want your DNA, they can
- 41:26Speaker 2: get it so many different ways, and you know, I
- 41:30Speaker 2: would like to think that that hasn't happened. But you know,
- 41:35Speaker 2: but also when like if there was a trial that
- 41:41Speaker 2: you submitted to be involved in, you are allowing. This
- 41:45Speaker 2: is how science does progress is for you to share
- 41:49Speaker 2: your information. We go through annually, we go through a
- 41:53Speaker 2: complete audit of genes and of how we're formulating and
- 41:58Speaker 2: is there new science has anything changed? Is it changing
- 42:02Speaker 2: how we're formulating. At one point in time, there could
- 42:05Speaker 2: be a protective alayle that new research now shows it's
- 42:09Speaker 2: at risk, aalele in other words, one that you used
- 42:13Speaker 2: to be like it didn't show that you were going
- 42:15Speaker 2: to be more prone to inflammation. Now new research might say, hey,
- 42:21Speaker 2: actually this is flipped. I mean science continues to progress
- 42:26Speaker 2: and that is the beautiful thing about it. So I know,
- 42:29Speaker 2: we got off of a little bit of no.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Do you believe there is a future that where everyone
- 42:37Speaker 1: will find that they wouldn't even begin to go on
- 42:43Speaker 1: a healthcare journey without doing their genetic their testion? My
- 42:47Speaker 1: read that could that be our future?
- 42:49Speaker 2: That I believe that at the time that a young
- 42:53Speaker 2: child is born, if we did their genetics and we
- 42:57Speaker 2: understood right then and there, we would understand. And again,
- 43:02Speaker 2: so you know, I will I say this with full
- 43:06Speaker 2: heart and intention if you knew your child's genetics when
- 43:10Speaker 2: they were born, and you know that MTHF genetic variants
- 43:16Speaker 2: and there's debate about this in the world, but there's
- 43:19Speaker 2: genetic variants that may make it harder for you to
- 43:21Speaker 2: detox vaccinations and things like that. So I'm not not
- 43:25Speaker 2: an anti vaccer. I live in choice. But if you
- 43:29Speaker 2: understood this, and you understood that children with markers on
- 43:34Speaker 2: this could struggle more, you would do it a little different.
- 43:38Speaker 2: You would spread them out, you would you would maybe
- 43:43Speaker 2: uh then support the child with you know, some additional
- 43:48Speaker 2: nutrients or detox stuff after a vaccination, et cetera. I
- 43:53Speaker 2: just believe that if we and it's just like certain
- 43:55Speaker 2: people with MTFR variations as well, really struggle, they can
- 44:01Speaker 2: struggle with certain anesthesia. You just know, you pret yourself
- 44:05Speaker 2: better with everything you're doing for life. Again, it's your
- 44:10Speaker 2: own owner's manual. Just let you get when you buy
- 44:14Speaker 2: a twenty dollars blender.
- 44:16Speaker 1: So instead of giving them thirty two vaccines, Not that
- 44:19Speaker 1: I'm an you know, I'm not saying I'm an anti vaccer,
- 44:21Speaker 1: but I don't believe in I think we're over vaccinate.
- 44:25Speaker 1: But instead of doing all that, maybe you know, start
- 44:28Speaker 1: the first step before leaving the hospital to get the
- 44:31Speaker 1: genetics the DNA tests.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean that seems so far.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Fetched today to think that our allopathic Western medicine would
- 44:40Speaker 1: would you know, make mandate that that would be a
- 44:45Speaker 1: part of being born is that you like, you know
- 44:49Speaker 1: now that people are put are storing their stem cells.
- 44:53Speaker 1: You know that never used to happen, but now people
- 44:55Speaker 1: understand that if you will freeze your stem cells up
- 44:59Speaker 1: of the child, the infant, then that's how when they
- 45:02Speaker 1: get older they have their own stem cells to be
- 45:05Speaker 1: able to access if they have some kind of a need.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So that's another example. So okay, so if you I
- 45:13Speaker 1: asked you about christ Hendrix, let's just talk more generically
- 45:16Speaker 1: about general population, okay. And so somebody comes to you
- 45:21Speaker 1: and they say, okay, I want to optimize my genetics,
- 45:25Speaker 1: and what are the three things you would tell them
- 45:28Speaker 1: to pay attention to.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Well, one, I would tell them they need to swab, right,
- 45:34Speaker 2: I mean they need to swab.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Then the swap means get your test.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Yeah, get your get your DNA test, do the do
- 45:40Speaker 2: a cheek swab, and then you know, review your results
- 45:47Speaker 2: and look at that. And I will tell you every
- 45:49Speaker 2: time you look at the results, when you look at
- 45:52Speaker 2: them again, it can seem overwhelming. But start slow. We've
- 45:56Speaker 2: we've done so much education around and in Layman's terms,
- 46:01Speaker 2: but uh, and then and then apply apply the approaches
- 46:06Speaker 2: there's tons of lifestyle different lifestyle tips. It depends what
- 46:11Speaker 2: what is it?
- 46:11Speaker 1: Where?
- 46:12Speaker 2: Where are your biggest weaknesses? And we're the things that
- 46:15Speaker 2: you struggle with and and then apply those things in
- 46:18Speaker 2: their life. So again, it can be different for everybody.
- 46:22Speaker 2: But I'm about simplicity. I am about simplicity. We all
- 46:25Speaker 2: only have twenty four hours in the day. We all
- 46:28Speaker 2: we all only have a certain budget to do what
- 46:30Speaker 2: we need we need to do, and so small steps
- 46:36Speaker 2: yield big outcomes. It's a it's a book. I just wrote.
- 46:40Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be. It's going to be basically
- 46:45Speaker 2: an ebook. It'll come out when I launched my own podcast.
- 46:48Speaker 2: But it's it's about small steps. It's not about it's
- 46:52Speaker 2: not about perfection. It's about consistency of small steps yielding big, big,
- 46:59Speaker 2: big chain and shifts in your own health and wellness.
- 47:04Speaker 1: Okay, so that's two. What's three. I'm not letting you out.
- 47:10Speaker 2: That it's okay. The third one be in your body.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Listen to yourself. Listen to your body, Listen to yourself.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Your body is an amazing, amazing machine, right and you
- 47:25Speaker 2: if you can sit and listen to it instead of
- 47:27Speaker 2: sit there and tell yourself, oh, I've got this and
- 47:31Speaker 2: I've got no Just be in your body, let that mind.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Like you talked about the positive mindset, et cetera, be
- 47:40Speaker 2: in your body and listen to it.
- 47:43Speaker 1: So is there one gene that you pay particular attention
- 47:46Speaker 1: to more than others in terms of just your awareness
- 47:51Speaker 1: of being deeply steamed? They in the world of DNA.
- 47:57Speaker 2: Oh, remember, they all start working together. But something that's
- 48:00Speaker 2: really near and dear, if you're asking me personally, is
- 48:03Speaker 2: the heart markers. A lot of heart markers, and methylation
- 48:06Speaker 2: highly plays a role with heart health. But yes, I'm
- 48:10Speaker 2: that girl that I mean the first time I looked
- 48:12Speaker 2: at my genetics, I was like, oh my gosh, all
- 48:14Speaker 2: these heart markers, but it falls in alignment. My grandmother
- 48:18Speaker 2: passed away from congestive heart failure, my grandfather coronarya artery disease.
- 48:24Speaker 2: You know now, and now I just know. And remember
- 48:28Speaker 2: I already gave you a few statistics. So now I
- 48:32Speaker 2: know what to do, and I know what to pay
- 48:34Speaker 2: attention to. I know the questions to ask. I track
- 48:38Speaker 2: my own blood work. I do those things and not
- 48:43Speaker 2: obsessively because I'm sorry again, I have twenty four hours
- 48:47Speaker 2: just like you do.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Ye, I'm aware.
- 48:50Speaker 2: I'm aware of myself. I listen to my body and
- 48:55Speaker 2: I moderately track what's going on. I will do some
- 49:00Speaker 2: interesting different tests to I've tested all kinds of things
- 49:04Speaker 2: as I've went through it. But I think that's yeah,
- 49:09Speaker 2: that's that's what I feel is important.
- 49:13Speaker 1: So right, well, and you obviously as those personal but
- 49:18Speaker 1: it's also projecting onto the population. If heart disease is
- 49:21Speaker 1: still the number one killer, then obviously one of the
- 49:25Speaker 1: ones genes that you want to look at is those
- 49:28Speaker 1: four or five that you mentioned.
- 49:29Speaker 2: Oh there's multiple, there's multiple that impact heart health. So yeah, yeah,
- 49:33Speaker 2: I mean yeah, so if we can if we can
- 49:36Speaker 2: just support at that genetic foundational level, I mean and
- 49:41Speaker 2: optimize where again, nutri genomics comes in and when you've
- 49:45Speaker 2: got genetic variants, it says that if you apply this nutrition,
- 49:49Speaker 2: it can help optimize the function of the gene so
- 49:52Speaker 2: that it almost works as though it doesn't have that variant.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Just like think about the vitamin D receptor. I've got
- 49:58Speaker 2: all of those too, I've got them all And if
- 50:00Speaker 2: I apply the vitamin D into my into my my
- 50:05Speaker 2: customized formula, like we do. I can keep my vitamin
- 50:09Speaker 2: D levels much at an optimal level, and I can
- 50:13Speaker 2: track that with I can track that with common and
- 50:15Speaker 2: standard blood work. You know of measuring that. There's so
- 50:19Speaker 2: many ways you can you can track it. But I mean,
- 50:22Speaker 2: it's your immune it's it's it impacts bone health, it
- 50:26Speaker 2: impacts so many things.
- 50:27Speaker 5: So so in your experience in dealing with so many clients,
- 50:33Speaker 5: how do you feel about people's react people's uh, treating
- 50:38Speaker 5: the symptoms rather than the root cause, which is really
- 50:41Speaker 5: what Western medicine unfortunately.
- 50:44Speaker 1: Playing SEFs with is, you know, giving us a pill
- 50:48Speaker 1: to fix a symptom that then causes more symptoms, that
- 50:51Speaker 1: causes another pill. So how do you that's I mean,
- 50:55Speaker 1: it's got to be something that enters your life in
- 50:58Speaker 1: a very meaningful way when you're dealing with clients. So
- 51:01Speaker 1: how do you get how do you deal with that?
- 51:03Speaker 2: How do I deal with it?
- 51:05Speaker 1: Well, I mean within your framework of interacting with right, Well,
- 51:10Speaker 1: I have to go back to me, because it was
- 51:12Speaker 1: eleven years of I went are evena, I went vegan, I.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Did all these cleanses, I was doing all this right.
- 51:19Speaker 2: I would Western, Eastern, natural, et cetera. Towards the end.
- 51:24Speaker 2: At one point in time, I was on between again.
- 51:28Speaker 2: The symptom was a dreamal fatigue. Right, Oh, you have
- 51:31Speaker 2: extreme adrenal fatigue. I was buying three to four hundred
- 51:34Speaker 2: dollars a month in a dream. I was going after
- 51:36Speaker 2: one thing, right, I was doing it naturally.
- 51:39Speaker 1: I mean with you know.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Supplementation that park corner.
- 51:43Speaker 1: But not everybody does.
- 51:44Speaker 2: That, right. But I was also doing PMF five days
- 51:48Speaker 2: a week. I don't know who can keep that up either, right,
- 51:51Speaker 2: But it wasn't it Even that person wasn't going to
- 51:56Speaker 2: understand the root of me. We were just applying, applying, applying.
- 52:01Speaker 2: It's throwing darts.
- 52:02Speaker 3: And I do.
- 52:03Speaker 2: That's why I'm so passionate about people understanding and starting
- 52:06Speaker 2: with your own genetics, there is and then and then
- 52:09Speaker 2: the powerful hitting ones that really impact us an agent.
- 52:12Speaker 2: We can make this simple, We can make this easy
- 52:16Speaker 2: to apply in a lifestyle. So when somebody else is dealing,
- 52:21Speaker 2: I love to make them think differently. I love them
- 52:24Speaker 2: to I love to have the conversation. Have you thought
- 52:27Speaker 2: about this?
- 52:28Speaker 3: You know?
- 52:29Speaker 2: I mean have you done your genetics one?
- 52:31Speaker 1: But two?
- 52:32Speaker 2: Have you thought about you know? Have you thought about
- 52:34Speaker 2: applying X Y Z or have you thought about It's
- 52:38Speaker 2: not this, you know, it's it's like that standard thing
- 52:41Speaker 2: and January comes and everybody wants to go on a
- 52:43Speaker 2: diet and they make this so extreme that they stick
- 52:47Speaker 2: with it for how many days and they fall off
- 52:49Speaker 2: of it? Right, Yeah, that's that's not what I'm about.
- 52:53Speaker 2: I'm about. So in December I decided I was doing
- 52:57Speaker 2: some major shifts for myself. I took alcohol out of
- 53:01Speaker 2: my diet, and then I love cheese. Remember food brings
- 53:07Speaker 2: us joy, right, I'm not going to not eat cheese,
- 53:09Speaker 2: but cheese was a part of my daily, daily lifestyle. Well,
- 53:15Speaker 2: I mean and again, dairy can cause inflammation. I have markers.
- 53:19Speaker 1: I know this.
- 53:20Speaker 2: So I removed cheese from my daily lifestyle, from my
- 53:23Speaker 2: daily diet, but not always. If I was if we
- 53:28Speaker 2: were in a situation, or if I was out to
- 53:30Speaker 2: dinner and something was going to contain cheese, I didn't
- 53:32Speaker 2: not eat it. I just I wasn't going to those
- 53:36Speaker 2: three slices of you know whatever kind of cheese and
- 53:39Speaker 2: crackers like for a snack. So I did that. Then
- 53:43Speaker 2: the next commitment was you haven't been moving your body enough.
- 53:46Speaker 2: You have got to commit to moving your body more.
- 53:49Speaker 2: So I started moving my body more. I started wearing
- 53:53Speaker 2: an or ring. I started tracking things, not to be
- 53:56Speaker 2: obsessive about it, but just to pay attention to where
- 53:59Speaker 2: I was, where I was and how I was feeling
- 54:02Speaker 2: and what made the big again be present with my body,
- 54:06Speaker 2: what's making that big shift in edit and change, and
- 54:09Speaker 2: how is it making me feel again? It was not
- 54:13Speaker 2: everything at once. It was I first took the alcohol out.
- 54:17Speaker 2: I wanted to, you know, you know it. We're in
- 54:20Speaker 2: social situations all the time, and I was just like,
- 54:23Speaker 2: I want to see, how do I feel? Do I
- 54:25Speaker 2: feel the pressure that I you know, am I missing
- 54:28Speaker 2: to have a glass of wine? Whatever? I did that
- 54:31Speaker 2: for a little over three months. Now I will drink
- 54:33Speaker 2: occasionally on you know, a social situation. It's that I
- 54:37Speaker 2: you know, but I just wanted to. I wanted to
- 54:40Speaker 2: make some small edits and changes and so, you know what,
- 54:44Speaker 2: after removing it, so about two week two or three
- 54:47Speaker 2: is when I go, Okay, now it's time to do
- 54:49Speaker 2: the next thing, because I'm feeling really good about this.
- 54:52Speaker 2: I wanted. That's when I removed the cheese. You know what,
- 54:54Speaker 2: what I started to notice when I made those little
- 54:57Speaker 2: shifts and edits, it becomes habit. Little shifts and edits
- 55:01Speaker 2: become habits. And instead of going for that cheese, I go.
- 55:06Speaker 2: I choose healthier options. Now, Oh, grab an apple, grab
- 55:09Speaker 2: a baniana. Oh, you know, a different protein, some hummus,
- 55:13Speaker 2: whatever I make. When we make little shifts and edits,
- 55:17Speaker 2: everything starts to become habit. That's lifestyle.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Unfortunately, people as they get older have the hardest time
- 55:24Speaker 1: to make change. You know, You're just an exception because
- 55:28Speaker 1: you're so motivated. And again what I said before, the
- 55:31Speaker 1: angels are surrounding you, you know, and you know also
- 55:36Speaker 1: educated enough to know what steps to take. A lot
- 55:39Speaker 1: of people are just brainwashed by modern medicine, Western medicine,
- 55:44Speaker 1: and so they think if I take a pill, you know,
- 55:47Speaker 1: that's going to make the same changes that you just described.
- 55:50Speaker 1: But that isn't. That isn't that's not true, because you're
- 55:52Speaker 1: putting chemicals in your body that are making it even
- 55:55Speaker 1: more toxic and more difficult to detox. Orthley. So yeah,
- 56:02Speaker 1: so again, wake up tomorrow morning, like I said, I
- 56:04Speaker 1: and just thank God for all the blessings that you
- 56:07Speaker 1: have in knowing the steps to take. I mean it
- 56:11Speaker 1: isn't just a magic formula either. It's not like, Okay,
- 56:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop eating cheese and tomorrow I'm gonna feel
- 56:17Speaker 1: like Superwoman. It doesn't happen that way. It's like you said,
- 56:20Speaker 1: little baby steps.
- 56:22Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing I think. I do believe though,
- 56:25Speaker 2: I mean, anybody, anybody can say, look I am I'm
- 56:30Speaker 2: overeating and I'm not going to starve myself. I'm going
- 56:34Speaker 2: to eat. I'm still gonna eat, but instead of three
- 56:38Speaker 2: servings of gravy on something, instead of the fried chicken.
- 56:41Speaker 2: You know what, let's try Let's try grilled chicken a
- 56:44Speaker 2: few times. And let's I mean again, it's little. I
- 56:49Speaker 2: do not believe in crazy, drastic steps. I believe in
- 56:53Speaker 2: these small, little edits.
- 56:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:57Speaker 2: And that person that says, oh my gosh, I haven't
- 56:59Speaker 2: been to the gym years. Great, you don't have to
- 57:01Speaker 2: go to the gym. What if you just said to yourself,
- 57:05Speaker 2: there's so many great things online right now, even without
- 57:09Speaker 2: weights or anything of movement, and I'm hey, I'm just
- 57:13Speaker 2: going to add one movement for ten minutes. I'm you know,
- 57:16Speaker 2: whatever I may be, or I'm going to take a
- 57:19Speaker 2: quick ten minute walk.
- 57:21Speaker 1: Right I'm just going to say that, get out nature,
- 57:23Speaker 1: because that's also very good for stress levels. And yeah,
- 57:28Speaker 1: and it only has to be, you know, a short
- 57:30Speaker 1: little stint. But as you do it consistently, your body's
- 57:35Speaker 1: you know, building up that muscle memory.
- 57:38Speaker 2: So but then you start craving it. You start craving
- 57:41Speaker 2: it too. You're like, oh my gosh, I feel great
- 57:43Speaker 2: when I get outside and walk for ten minutes in
- 57:45Speaker 2: the morning. I take my shoes off, I ground myself
- 57:48Speaker 2: in earth and the nature, the sun's on my.
- 57:51Speaker 1: Face, and.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Then it becomes habit and then you go go instead
- 57:57Speaker 2: of a ten minute walk, oh, I went for a
- 57:59Speaker 2: twenty or thirty minute walk. Oh you know what. Whatever. Again,
- 58:06Speaker 2: we need joy in our lives and small little steps
- 58:11Speaker 2: and consistent, small little steps, not asking for that drastic,
- 58:16Speaker 2: radical change to really yield those Yeah.
- 58:20Speaker 1: Well, remember, you know, we are the sum total of
- 58:23Speaker 1: all the choices that we make. But in order to
- 58:25Speaker 1: make good choices, we need to have a baseline foundation
- 58:29Speaker 1: of knowledge. And so this is where I think people
- 58:32Speaker 1: get sidetracked is because the knowledge they get from TV.
- 58:36Speaker 1: Let's just say, you know, I watched basketball being and
- 58:40Speaker 1: the nl the NBA and every single commercial is either
- 58:45Speaker 1: processed food or pharmaceutical drugs. Well, you know, if this
- 58:49Speaker 1: is what people are experiencing in their in their life,
- 58:54Speaker 1: you know, because they they're feeding their free time with
- 58:59Speaker 1: what they enjoy, like watching basketball, but they're getting all
- 59:02Speaker 1: of this other, you know, collateral damage because of all
- 59:07Speaker 1: these ads. So actually, one of my one of my
- 59:09Speaker 1: biggest dreams and hopes is that they take gay band
- 59:14Speaker 1: pharmaceutical ads from TV. I don't know.
- 59:17Speaker 2: I don't think they're allowed in other countries.
- 59:19Speaker 1: No, I'm just gonna say we we are the United States,
- 59:22Speaker 1: and I think it's New Zealand. There's only two countries
- 59:26Speaker 1: that allow. Why are we so far behind? And now, well,
- 59:29Speaker 1: of course I know why I'm answering it's a rhetorical question.
- 59:33Speaker 1: But however, you know, if you just can learn from
- 59:38Speaker 1: what others experiences are and recognize that maybe we have
- 59:41Speaker 1: a little hope now with a Robert F. Kennedy, but
- 59:44Speaker 1: you know he can only do so much, and and
- 59:47Speaker 1: you know, even he gets flack in every step of
- 59:49Speaker 1: the way.
- 59:50Speaker 3: You know.
- 59:51Speaker 1: So well, they just signaled me that we're out of time.
- 59:55Speaker 1: But I didn't want to ask you. I know you've
- 59:57Speaker 1: been so kind and generous to offer our yours a
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: little just an incentive to get to know you better
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: to do what we've been advocating today, which is to
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: get your Dongeonet's test done. So why don't you tell
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: us what that what that is that you want to offer?
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Absolutely, if you go to snip nutrition dot com, just
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: like Michelle said, there you can download a sample DNA report.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: You can peruse the website. What does it look like.
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: There's no hooks, catches, anything like that, whether it's a
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: DNA test, a starter plan that includes the first month
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: of your customize or the optimal plan that is the
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: DNA test plus you're customized and then ongoing on subscription. Again,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: we don't wrap people in. We are very flexible on
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: all of those things. But fifty dollars off coupon for
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: any of those either whether it's the DNA test or
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: either of the packages, and the coupon is ageless just
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: for you, Michelle Ageless of a G E.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: L E.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: S S for listening to for Michelle's audience listening in.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: Thank you so much. It's so generous of your can
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: So if you wanted to convey one final kernel or
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: jem of knowledge that you want people to know and
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: that it's made a difference. What would that be, What
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: would your words of wisdom be to.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: All of us? Understanding your own biology can change everything.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: And I just don't believe in identifying as the disease.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: I believe identifying as you, beautiful human. You were given
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: the opportunity and this amazing, amazing body, And give yourself
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: grace as you go through anything, give yourself grace and
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: be and and be full of gratitude. Truly. I mean,
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: I know that's a lot in one Michelle, that's like
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: a loaded question for me.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: No, yeah, but it's perfect because it is exactly what
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: we've been talking about today. And it really does go
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: back to attitude to you know, your desire to make
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: a change. It's one thing to have an idea, it's
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: another thing to take action and then to make some
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: have some positive results, like what your life and your
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: story is. By the way, it's very similar to ninety
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: percent of the people that are you know, doing great
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: things in the world today. But they've all started, including myself,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: including you. You know, we've all started with some adversity,
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: and out of the adversity we found an opportunity. But
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: you know, we may have been on the path anyway.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: The adversity just expertized everything and made it easier to
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: understand the importance of taking action. Right, So, yeah, so
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Well, okay, so one last
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: question and then we'll be about you are one of
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: the most prolific speakers, and you know I've seen you
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: be I mean, i'll you're in demand. Let's say if
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: all the speeches that you've given, has there been anyone
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: where there's been a moment where you've been stuck like
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: You's like, didn't you would styny, you didn't know how
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: to answer the question that was asked by someone in
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: the audience, or you had a moment where you felt
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: like you weren't doing what you wanted to do in
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: that screech. Has there has that ever happened to you?
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: Wow, that's a great question, Michelle. I think the thing
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: is is when we go to genetics, a lot of
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: people want me to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, and they
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: will start asking me random questions about something very very specific.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: I'm not about themselves, about themselves, and I can educate
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: on your genetics, but I don't know your lifestyle. I
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: don't know what you're eating daily, and you're not a doctor.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, and I won't want to get
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: into that trap.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Well no, and I'm not going to diagnose. What I
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: love to tell people is let's think about this differently
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: because in reality, and now I hope this makes you laugh,
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: you do not walk into the pharmacist and say, hey, pharmacist,
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: what vitamins A you going to make me feel like?
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: What's it going to do? Am I going to have
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: a reaction? Okay, you don't do that, right. But everybody,
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: when we go to a genetic level and we provide
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: them with all the science, they want to take it.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: It is because it is personal and I understand it.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: But we have to think about this differently. We have
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: to understand strengths, weaknesses and then look at it all.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: Partner it up with our symptoms, our blood work everything.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: That's the problem. I don't think we look at you know,
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: I compare my blood work to how I feel. How
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: am I sleeping?
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: How do am I.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Waking up in the morning? Do I feel charged and
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: ready to go? Or my dragon? I mean those are
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: be in your body so I will tell you on
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: stage once somebody went to a very specific medical condition
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: and I'm like, even a doctor couldn't have answered the question.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: So other than that, no, I'm very passionate and very comfortable.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Am I perfect?
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: Do I know it all?
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Absolutely not? Am I passionate about really helping people get
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: to this is my science validated? Yes? And I really
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: feel I was gifted this technology to be able to
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: be the conduit to educate people on this and that
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: you you listening, this is for you, That's why. And
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: I just got chills. I am doing this for people
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: to educate them. I didn't need to do this that
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: you know, and do I hit roadblocks and people, you know,
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: I'm not understanding, et cetera. The cost of my customized
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: I mean, which you're going to start to hear me
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: get a little bit louder about. I can pull two
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: ingredients out of my customize and show you online where
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: you would pay for may one hundred and twenty dollars
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: for those two things. I custom compound for somebody for
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty nine dollars. Michelle whyn me, I
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: want the masses to be able to afford this technology
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: it's not about the money. I want the masses to
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: be able to afford it. And that's that's the other thing.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: I mean, I don't there's not this. I have taken
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: my formula to a compounding pharmacy and I said, can
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: you make this for me? Do you want to hear
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: the lowest price I got?
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: I can imagine, go ahead.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Six hundred and fifty dollars And sorry, Kim, we don't
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: have we don't have agreements with some of these trademarked ingredients,
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: so we can't even get them all. So my goal
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: is again, it is about foundational wellness and to educate people,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: to empower generations to come.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and then this is so inspiring, you know because well,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: part of my passion for being developing a podcast eight
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: years ago was exactly the same mission, the same vision is.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: I could see so many people who were lost and
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: they just didn't have answers, and they were sad and
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: they were and it just got to me, you know,
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: because I knew I had somehow naturally had been gifted
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: with these ability to go search for answers that served
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: me and didn't distract me, if you know what I'm saying,
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: or hurt me, and so because I had that gift,
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: I said, I've got to share this. So I totally,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: I totally appreciate. I think you and I have been
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: on a you know, similar journey, different paths to get there,
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: but the same mission, the same vision is to help
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: others solutely. All right, Well, Kim, don't forget to stay
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: on a little bit until we get the signal. Okay,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: but thank you again, and I'll see you in December.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: I guess at a four a m. Unless you're going
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: to be somewhere else, I don't think I'm.
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: Going to be.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: I just went to four conferences and in the last month,
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: so I think I conference style.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: But where are you going next next? Well, I'm heading
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: to Las Vegas tomorrow for an event with some other
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: founders and then.

- 1:08:39Speaker 1: in Chicago and the one in LA. But I don't
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: think i'm gonna Well, maybe Nick will convince me to come,
