I have seen several family members suffer from cancer.

In America, Health Care’s answer to cancer prevention are colonoscopies, mammograms, etc. While I believe in cancer screenings, I also believe in being proactive to reduce cancer risk.

💫There is no better way to do this than to understand your genetics.

Testing genetics gives you the understanding of your “weak links” - and what to do about them.

Because I understand my genetics - I know:
🌱Exactly what probiotic to take
🌱How many carbs I can get away with before its cancer-promoting
🌱How much protein to eat without overstimulating mTOR
🌱That HRT is NOT a good idea for me
🌱What supplements to take preventatively
🌱What nutrients I tend to be low in
🌱How many times a year to do a Fasting Mimicking Diet to hack my autophagy (cellular clean-up process).

I wish everybody knew that there are ways to be proactive about your cancer risks - it’s so much more than health screenings. 🫶

If your New Year’s goal is hormone balance, don’t skip this step.

Your genes influence:
💡 How you metabolize estrogen
💡 How efficiently you clear cortisol
💡 Your sensitivity to environmental stressors
💡 Your risk of estrogen dominance, sleep issues, and midlife weight gain

Variants in CYP1A1, CYP1B1, COMT, CYP3A4, CYP17A1 can explain why some women struggle with perimenopause symptoms while others don’t — and why certain interventions work better for you than your friends.

This isn’t “hormones gone wild.”
It’s your biology asking for a more personalized approach.

When you understand your genetics, you can:
✔️ choose the right nutrition strategy
✔️ optimize detox pathways
✔️ reduce inflammation
✔️ improve sleep and mood
✔️ support estrogen balance naturally or alongside HRT

Your genes don’t dictate your destiny — they tell you where to focus your attention.

And that changes everything.

✨Reflections on 2025

In 2025, I had the blessing of working with hundreds of women and reviewing their genetic reports. This has reinforced my understanding of all of our individuality - including our personal challenges and strengths, and how what works for one isn’t necessarily going to work for another.

The body is resilient - when we give our body what it needs and remove what it doesn’t, it will heal.

My extended family has faced significant health challenges in 2025. My sister battled a cancer diagnosis and went through some very difficult times. Her body is now rebounding, and she is doing remarkably well with an integrative approach.

My 91 year old grandmother survived strokes a year ago and became stronger each day - until she recently declined - but even so, in her days closer to death, her body is continually rebounding and trying to heal. This has been such a reminder that the body wants to thrive - even if it is just for one more day.

Sometimes what we need is physical, sometimes it is mental/emotional, and sometimes it is spiritual.

My beautiful grandmother has all her needs met. She is being loved and cared for, she is fed (although only a little at this point), she is happy, and all is well with her soul and her relationship with the Lord. She has been through many physical ailments in her life, and is a testament to how the body wants to heal and thrive - especially when there is love in one’s heart. For her, healing will look like going to be with the Lord shortly, but for now, each breath and each heartbeat is a gift.

May we all live our lives knowing that each moment is a gift, and that God made our bodies to be resilient - but, it’s up to us to treat them well, make good choices, and choose to love ourselves and one another.

🥂May you all be well in 2026 and beyond! 💕

Before you pick a New Year workout plan, ask the real question:

“What type of training does MY body respond to?”

Genetics play a major role in:
🏃‍♀️Endurance vs power potential (ACTN3, ACE, ADRB2)
🏋️‍♀️ Subcutaneous fat increase with powerlifting
🔥 How quickly you recover
💪🏻 Injury risk
🫀 VO2 max potential
😮‍💨 How your body handles high-intensity intervals

Some women thrive on HIIT.
Some burn out.
Some put on subcutaneous fat with heavy weight training, leading to insulin problems.
Some respond better to slow, progressive strength training.

When your exercise plan is tailored to your DNA, you stop wasting time and start seeing real results — more strength, more energy, better blood sugar control, better mood.

Precision training > generic workout plans.

This is how you build a body you can count on in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Our Father loved us so much, He came to Earth as a lowly infant - not only to walk with us, but to suffer and die for our sins, so that we may be reconciled with him, and have eternal peace.

🎁 This is the gift I am most grateful for this holiday season.

I pray that you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas! 🎄

If someone promises that “modern HRT is proven safe,” pause. ✋

The evidence simply isn’t there yet — not for decades-long outcomes with today’s hormone formulations.

This is why personalized risk assessment matters.

Honesty in the data empowers women to make informed choices.

85% of breast cancers are found in women with no family history.

This surprises almost everyone.

We tend to think breast cancer is mainly hereditary — but the majority of cases are influenced by hormones, environment, lifestyle, and how your body metabolizes estrogen.

Which means:

✨ Your daily choices and your biology matter.

✨ You have more influence over your risk than you think.

This is why I spend so much time teaching women about:

🧬 Estrogen metabolism (CYP1A1, CYP1B1, COMT)

🌿 Detox + methylation support

⚖️ Weight, insulin, and inflammation control

💤 Sleep + stress pathways

🥦 Nutrition that actually alters gene expression

🩺 Screening that goes beyond “wait and see”

Breast cancer prevention isn’t just about your family tree.

It’s about understanding your biology — and optimizing the pathways that keep estrogen moving safely through your body.

Knowledge is power. Prevention is possible. ❤️

Your body doesn’t need a detox — it needs support. 🌿

Estrogen detox happens naturally in your liver and gut every single day.

But when those pathways get sluggish — from stress, toxins, or low nutrient intake — hormones can build up and throw everything off.

The fix isn’t extreme. It’s strategic:
🥦 Cruciferous veggies to clear estrogen safely
🌾 Fiber to bind and eliminate excess
💧 Hydration + protein to fuel your detox enzymes

When you work with your biology, balance becomes effortless. 🧬✨

Save and follow for more hormone help and support!

Yes, genetics influence metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and disease risk.

But in most cases, it is your environment and lifestyle that determine how those genes behave.

Epigenetics shows us that:
•Nutrition can shift gene expression
•Exercise can enhance metabolic pathways
•Stress and sleep impact hormone signaling
•Toxins and inflammation can turn risk genes on

Your DNA is not a verdict — it’s a roadmap. 🗺️

When you understand it, you can make targeted, effective changes that transform your long-term health.

A needed reminder in a moment where HRT is being marketed like a universal cure.

HRT can be incredibly helpful for the right woman —
but not every woman, and not without understanding her unique biology.

Your estrogen pathways, genetics (CYP1B1, CYP1A1, COMT), cancer history, cardiovascular risk, and personal preferences all matter.

Menopause care should be individualized, not influenced by trends or fear.

Your body deserves precision.
Your hormones deserve nuance.
And your decisions deserve real information — not hype.

Not every woman needs 100+ grams of protein. 🧬

Trendy nutrition advice loves one-size-fits-all rules — but your biology doesn’t work that way.

Some women feel amazing with more protein. Others feel heavy, inflamed, or just off.

It’s not about blanket nutritional recommendations — it’s about genetics, metabolism, and how your body processes nutrients.

When you understand your genes, you can feed your body exactly what it needs.

That’s where real, lasting change starts. ✨
