Scientific research has shown that although we cannot choose our genetics, we do have the ability to influence which of our genes are expressed.  We have the ability to turn on genes which promote health, and turn off those which code for illness and disease.  How can we do this?   The answer is surprisingly simple... Our lifestyle habits, including our diet, exercise, and thoughts dramatically affect the expression of our genes.  We used to think that our DNA determined everything...from the color of our hair to the health of our body.  Now science has discovered that our DNA is only a blueprint.  From this simple blueprint, there are over 30,000 variations which can be built from each gene.   A whole new branch of medicine is developing called "epigenetics."  Epigenetics simply means, "above the genes".      Our goal is to help you create a lifestyle which helps you turn on healthy genes, and turn off genes which may make you susceptible to illness or disease.  We call it Defying Your DNA.  Wellness can be simple.  There are only 3 main reasons why we lose health and it is the reversal of these factors which empowers us to create lasting wellness.     Our technologies, products and services are created to empower you to Defy Your DNA and help you to:   1.  D E T O X I F Y - and reduce your toxic load. 2.  N O U R I S H - and strengthen your system. 3.  A D A P T - to release emotional and physical stress.

Our painless Limbic Stress Assessment technology allows us to communicate with your body.  Rather than guessing what will bring your body back into balance, we can test your body to see which foods, supplements, and/or natural remedies are most compatible with it.  This cutting-edge technology performs an assessment of your body called a Bio-Survey. It is especially wonderful for children, as our analysis is quick, painless, and can be paused and completed in short intervals.  A Bio-Survey allows us to: Measure the energetic stress of your organs and systems, Identify hidden stressors in your body such as bacteria, viruses, candida, heavy metals, chemicals, EMFs, etc... Identify food and environmental sensitivities, Pinpoint specific remedies to bring your body back into balance. Read More about the technology..... ...But Don't Genes Control Everything? This idea of being able to control our genetic expression is a very new concept for many individuals.  To help get you jumpstarted, we have included some great videos and information.  The following movies are from the top epigenetic researchers in the world to empower you with the knowledge that you truly have the ability to create the health of your body. The Epigenome at a Glance This is a great introductory video from the Genetics department from the University of Iowa.  This video will help you learn how genes can be turned on and off.   A Nova Documentary featured on PBS:  Epigenetics Our lifestyles and environment can change the way our genes are expressed, leading even identical twins to become distinct as they age. This movie documents research which proves that our lifestyles dramatically affect the outcome of our genes and ultimately our health.    Epigenetics:  Your Unlimited Potential For Health Dr. Bruce Lipton, the author of "The Biology of Belief", explains how we are not limited by our genes.  This is an amazing video which will help you better understand how our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical health and wellbeing!     Identical Twins:  Pinpointing the Impact of Environment on Epigenetics Because identical twins develop from a single zygote, they have the same genome. This removes genetics as a variable telling scientists that the differences they observe between the individuals are caused almost solely by environmental factors. Recent studies have shown that many of these environmentally induced differences are acquired via the epigenome.     Genetics Department - University of Utah This is a fabulous website to learn more about epigenetics and how you can take control over the expression of your genes.   This site also provides fun interactive videos and activities for kids!
