A simple DNA test reveals how to balance your body with precision -- not guessing.


Dont we all want a smoothe menopause transition? Can this even happen? YES, we can, but that means that we have to understand the our bottom line What this means is understanding your own genes, your own instruction manual.


As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, they often face a wave of physical and emotional changes -- hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood swings, sleep disruption, and more. But what if these symptoms weren't just "part of getting older," but instead reflections of how your unique genetic blueprint interacts with hormone shifts?


At Whole Living DNA Epigenetics, we believe that menopause doesn't have to be a mystery -- or a misery. Through advanced DNA and epigentic testing, we help you uncover what your body is really trying to tell you, and give you tools to respond with precision and confidence.


There is a reason 'Why' DNA testing during menopause matters. Menopause isn't a one-size-fits-all experience. your symptoms, risks, and hormonal responses are deeply influenced by your genetic makeup. Through DNA testing, we can identify:

  • How well your body detoxifies estrogen (COMT, CYP1B1, GST genes)

  • Your estrogen dominance risk (ESR1, CYP1A1, CYP3A4 variants)

  • Genetic variants related to progesteronesensitivity and mood

  • Propensity for low dopamine or serotonin during hormone shifts (E.g. COMT, MAOA)

  • Genes that influence weight gain, insulin resistiance, or sleep issues during menopause

  • SNPs that affect bone health, thyroid function, or cardiovascular risks post menopause


Knowing these specifics allows us to target nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation to ease symptoms and support long-term health.


Epgenetics: Changing the way your genes speak. The beauty of epigenetics is that hyour genes are not your destiny. They are your foundation- but, your daily choices (diet, stress, sleep, toxins, movement) determine how those genes express. With this knowledge you gain power to:

  • Reduce hot flashes through blood sugar balancing

  • Support estrogen detox through targeted nutrients (like B12, manesium, DIM, calcium d-glucarate)

  • Optimize neurotransmitters for better mood, sleep, and libido

  • Slow aging and DNA damage with antioxidant support and methylation balance

  • Tailor your movement, macros, and supplements to your unique blueprint


Once you understand your genetic and epigenetic landscape, you can:

  • Personalize your diet (e.g. more cruciferous veggies for estrogen detox)

  • Choose targeted supplemetns (e.g. mangesium glycinate, DIM, adaptogens)

  • Make informed decisions on HRT or natural hormone support, adjust your workouts and stress managment, protect adrenal health

  • Implement a DNA-aligned lifestyle plan for energy, weight balance, and mood


Take control of the change! Menopause is a natural biological transition, not a disease. But with the right information' it can be navigated with strength and clarity.


DNA testing and epigenetic coaching give you the map to decode your symptoms, support your hormones, and age vibrantly.
