Physical Therapist Uses DNA-Personalized Supplements to Address Methylation Deficiencies and Hormone Balance

SNiP was introduced to me about six months ago at a conference, and I thought for sure I would try it myself. Having a practice that I work with women all the time, it's something very much of interest to myself personally but as well as to my practice. So I was looking at it from a perspective of how I could identify my own personal SNPs and to see how that an effect on my health. I am a two-time cancer survivor and so I wanted to look back and really see what my genes, how they predisposed me to some additional problems. And so I went back and looked and in fact, it reiterated a lot of the problems that I was experiencing even before I got cancer. I had dealt with some infertility, a long history of endometriosis, and things where I just wasn't processing things well. And that included the estrogens, which were the estrogens that my cancer later developed into. So in looking at my CODE Complex report, it clearly showed I had deficiencies in the methylation process and detoxification. And this is where you break down these estrogens and it's so important and this was never really addressed. And so by doing that and starting on the supplement myself, I noticed a lot of changes. I felt better, so I started reintroducing it to some of my clients because what I do in my practice is we look at women's hormones and we also do thermography. But we hadn't had the piece of the genetics to be identified for these women. And so by putting that piece in there and I do it before I do the hormone testing now so we can go back and we can actually see what the genetic deficiencies are and what the SNPs are that these women are working with. I start women with the genetic testing first, we get them on the CODE Complex and we address their areas, particularly the ones that they have the SNP mutations in one or two variants from their parents. And then we test their hormones. And it's really kind of been a game-changer for a lot of people. And by having the reports that really identify the other key areas which really are mostly what women come in and complain to me about, increased weight gain, brain fog, and they're just not able to lose some of the weight that's being on there no matter what their diet is, how much they exercise, how well they eat and by being able to really show them the reports. Show them that it's not their fault. They're doing everything right. It's just that their genes are predisposing them to some complications, and we have a solution now. Then when we add some of our adjuncts for the hormones, the creams, some of the supplements we use for the hormones, we're just seeing better results but I'm also having better compliance for my patients, actually utilizing some of the supplements that we're recommending for their hormone rebalancing, because they're on the CODE Complex, which then gets them feeling better, and they're able to manage the day-to-day mood changes and some of the other things that go along with it. It's so helpful to have it in a simplified report where people can actually see it color-coded, and it's right there in front of them. These are the areas that you don't have to worry about. These are red ones we really have to hone in and focus on. We're trying to do multiple diets, supplements, things like that. And they may all be healthy, but not necessarily for you as an individual. And what this does is it breaks it down. It simplifies the amount of supplements that you have to take. But it also, I think is cost effective because you're able to reduce the amount of supplements you're taking because it's all for you in the CODE Complex. The thing that's so beneficial about the reporting that it comes in, it covers all the areas that my patients have concerns about. The ten target areas are really what people are coming in. Lack of energy, increased weight gain, brain fog and gut dysbiosis. These are the things that women are complaining about, they want addressed, that very oftentimes gets ignored in most visits. Using SNiP Nutrigenomics, I'm able to now test genetic SNPs first, and then I go on and have them on the supplements for three months so I can get their baseline established, get their pathways working effectively, and then we can get a true assessment of what their hormones are doing. And we tie that in conjunction to the thermography as well. I've been talking with a lot of colleagues about how they can get their patients in terms of compliance and to simplify things for people. I would highly recommend that everybody starts with the SNiPs Nutrigenomics as a baseline to really find out what you're working with.
