Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity or behavior with no change in DNA sequence. This means that the change in gene behavior is not caused by a mutation but by a factor outside of the gene.

Basically, everything we eat, drink, breathe, and touch talks directly to our genes!

Nutrition science is dominated by the study of epigenetics since the completion of the Human Genome project in 2003. We realize now that disease … and health … is not dictated by our genes but is a complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle, and environment.

Epigenetic factors related to health include nutrition, stress and emotional trauma, exposure to toxins and infectious agents, physical activity, and sleep. We can choose behaviors that will decrease our risk of disease and promote optimal health!

Holistic Wellness

What does holistic wellness mean?

To understand this concept, we can start by defining wellness, which is a quality or state of being healthy in body, mind and spirit. If we are healthy, then we are free from disease or pain in our body but also in our mind and spirit.

Holism is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. So holistic wellness is a philosophy that a person is more than just a collection of organs, tissues, and cells.

A holistic wellness approach is one that looks at the whole person, not just their symptoms. A holistic wellness approach strives to help each person understand all of the factors that are contributing to their health and uses healing methods across all areas to enable each person to become healthy … in body, mind, and soul.

That is optimal health and we all deserve that!

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food … Hippocrates

Food provides our bodies with the ability to prevent and even reverse disease!

Unfortunately, our food supply is filled with processed products full of preservatives, artificial ingredients, added sugars or artificial sweeteners, and genetically modified ingredients. We use toxic pesticides and herbicides on our farms and our animals are raised in buildings rather than allowed to roam and graze in pastures and forests. These practices don’t produce healthy food … they promote chronic disease.

When we consume healthy, clean, real foods … fruits and vegetables grown without toxins, animals allowed to feed on their natural diet outdoors … we are able to live a life free of chronic disease. These are the foods that truly are medicine!

Hi! I'm April and This is My Story

Like many of you, health issues have affected me as well as the people I love. Cancer, autoimmune disease, metabolic disorders, allergies, food intolerances … we live in a world where chronic disease is the norm. I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia in my 20’s. I did not get much help from conventional medicine doctors and had to do a lot of research about nutrition and lifestyle to manage my condition. I realized the importance and the impact that nutrition can have.

I have lost people I love to cancer … a sister when she was only 30 and then my cousin / best friend almost 12 years later. I knew that the right nutrition could positively impact people with cancer but it seemed like conventional oncology doctors had learned nothing about nutrition and lifestyle in that 12 years. This was frustrating and prompted me to pursue a formal education in Nutrition Science.

I know so many people with autoimmune issues. I also have an autoimmune condition. When I began experiencing serious health issues, I I turned to conventional medicine but got no answers or resolution. I got my health back by applying specific nutrition practices and other lifestyle techniques. Now days, my holistic lifestyle includes many components.

But optimal health is truly an ongoing journey … One common thread with all of us touched by chronic disease is how overwhelming it is to feel that something as basic and important as our health is out of our control. So now my passion and purpose is to use my education and experience to help you take control of your health!
