It’s time for an update…
Y’all, we’ve officially been at this almost a month.
Yes—time flies when you’re taking supplements.
(Especially when you throw every major holiday into the mix.)
I made it through my first full month on my gene-based supplement protocol.
And here’s where things get interesting.
⚠️ ENTER: EPIGENETICS.
Quick and dirty explanation:
Your genes are the blueprint—but epigenetics is how life turns the lights on or off.
Stress, illness, trauma, nutrition, environment—none of these change your DNA, but they absolutely change how your body expresses it.
Now… let me take you down a bit of a rabbit hole.
Some hard fact. Some informed speculation.
I came into this world with my umbilical cord wrapped around my neck three times. Tight.
Doctors weren’t sure.
I was born purple, floppy, and without vigor.
I spent time in an incubator before I ever got to meet my mom, dad, and brothers.
From childhood on, I was sick constantly—with no real explanation.
Eventually: hypoglycemia.
And MAN was I hypoglycemic.
Passing out like it was my side hustle.
By 13, I was so sick and exhausted I got kicked out of school.
Then came the grand finale—passing out, hitting my head on a locker—which officially made me a liability.
Hello, homebound education.
At 14, I got mononucleosis.
Didn’t know it then. Neither did my parents.
But looking back? That virus was gasoline on an already struggling system because of the way it deposits EBV as a latent virus into the system —and likely a major contributor to the autoimmune mess that followed.
✨ THIS is epigenetics.
No gene mutations—but enough stress, illness, and trauma to make the body revolt.
Autoimmune disease is a beast.
And stress? My worst enemy.
So yes—I made adjustments.
I added back in:
• Moducare
• Extra protein via Perfect Aminos (because holiday eating was… not my finest work)
• Progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, based on fresh labs
Because listening to your body > rigid rules.
📊 MY ONE-MONTH REPORT:
• Way more sustainable energy
• Detox pathways feel noticeably more open and supportive
• I genuinely enjoyed a month of less supplement overload
BUT—gene support alone, for me, is not enough.
And one more thing worth shouting from the rooftops:
🦠I took care of five people with the flu.
Guess who didn’t get sick?
THIS GIRL.
I wasn’t even on my usual immune modulator—and I 100% credit Immunogenic for that win.
So yes—gene testing is still bomb.
I LOVE knowing my genetic tendencies.
But in my lived experience?
Genes + epigenetic support together = the sweet spot.
The experiment continues.
I’ll keep listening. I’ll keep adjusting. I’ll keep updating.
Have a fantastic Monday 🤍 and know anyplace is a good place to start!
