My Personal Genetic Journey™
Tap into your personal biology.
Become your greatest possibility.
Your genes tell the story of you.
With today’s advanced technologies, we now have access to proven research, scientific insights, and clinically-validated methods to decode your genetic information and gain valuable insights for enhancing your health and optimizing your well-being. Whether you’re seeking overall improvements or targeted insights into specific areas, exploring your unique genetic code can reveal critical information and actionable strategies to address the root causes of disease and take control of your future.
Every aspect of your MY PERSONAL GENETIC JOURNEY™ program has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with a clear understanding of yourself, empowering you to harness your unique biology and unlock your full potential. Like a complex puzzle, having all the pieces in the right place is essential to seeing the bigger picture and achieving the results you desire. Utilized by clinical practitioners worldwide to help their clients/patients achieve remarkable and transformative results, your secure and proprietary Genetic Blueprint will serve as the foundation of your program.
Following a comprehensive intake process, we will examine six genetic “categories” to uncover key biological factors to determine how your genes may be impacting your progress toward your health, wellness, and fitness goals.
-
While every cell in your body functions independently, each is connected to the whole and determines how your body will perform on a daily basis. Within the CELLULAR category, we will carefully examine four distinct pathways critical to your health and longevity: Oxidative Stress, Methylation*, Inflammation, and Detoxification.
*Learn more about the role of methylation—one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression—here.
-
How we consume, absorb, distribute, store, and burn the calories we gain from food varies from individual to individual. Knowing how you are uniquely hardwired to manage food will enable you to work with your body, not against it.
In the ENERGY category, we will examine and evaluate Appetite, Satiety & Intake, Exercise Response, Energy Expenditure, Pro-inflammatory Fat, Weight Gain & Weight Loss Resistance, and Adipogensis (how your body forms fat cells).
-
The high evolved, complex, and sophisticated network of metabolic systems in our body work together day-in and day-out to keep us alive and healthy. While operating “behind the scenes,” optimal functioning requires they work as designed and without interruption.
In the SYSTEMS category, we will carefully examine Collagen & Joints, Glucose & Insulin, Hormone Balance, Bone Health, Mood & Behavior, Memory & Brain Health, and Histamine Overload.
-
Whether you’re just beginning an exercise program or are an elite athlete, your genes play a pivotal role in helping you train effectively, avoid injury, and reach your fitness goals.
In the ACTIVITY category, we will look at Injury, Recovery, Endurance & Power Potential, and Training Response to gain insights into how you can optimize your training program to achieve the results you desire.
-
Your cardiovascular system delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other important substances to cells and organs in your body. It also plays a critical role in removing toxins and waste from the body while helping the body meet the demands of everyday living, stress, activity, exercise, and more.
In the CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH category, we will examine your genetic functioning as it relates to Blood Pressure, Vascular Health, Blood Clotting, and Cholesterol.
-
The wide array of vitamins, minerals, and essential compounds (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fiber, lipids, etc) found in food are essential to maintaining healthy cells and keeping all body processes working correctly and together.
To make the best dietary food and supplement choices, we will explore the NUTRIENTS category to understand how your genes optimize Fatty Acids, Caffeine, Gluten, Salt, Folate, Choline, and Vitamins C, D, B12,& Iron.
Within each pathway, we will assess 36 distinct components of health and wellness to determine whether your genes are functioning in ways that support or hinder your success. Based on our findings—highlighting both strengths and inefficiencies—we will work together to create a personalized, step-by-step action plan designed to positively influence your genetic expression and enhance your outcomes. (Click the + buttons above to see more details about each pathway.)

A little about me . . .
My passion for human behavior and genetics dates back to the late 80’s while pursuing my education and degrees at Hanover College and the University of Colorado at Boulder. At the time, we were just starting to map the human genome and were making significant discoveries about the influence of an individual’s personal biology on all aspects of their life, health, and well-being. We’ve come a long way!
Over the past 35 years, I have been privileged to work with thousands of individuals through an array of professional experiences—from implementing patient service programs for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), to serving Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, to owning multiple health and wellness-oriented businesses, to building and delivering well-being programs for Fortune 30 companies, to serving on the leadership teams for Advanced Genomic Solutions (AGS), the National Wellness Institute (NWI), and the Wellness Alliance. With a “Swiss Army Knife” of experiences, I love developing businesses, forming long-lasting strategic partnerships, and driving personal and professional growth.
As a Genetic Health Practitioner, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Wellness Practitioner, Certified Behavioral Analyst, entrepreneur, trainer, and author, I remain deeply dedicated to individual and organizational growth, optimizing human performance, helping individuals tap into their strengths, and inspiring those I serve to reach their potential and become their greatest possibility.
My most important roles are wife to my husband and business partner, Marcus Straub (LIG Coaching & Consulting), mom to our three grown children (Reis, Savannah, and Lily), and Keke to our first grand, Reign Grace. Outside of supporting clients, my favorite moments are shared experiences with my family, traveling, exercise, long road trips, cooking, reading, creating, and spending endless hours in nature.
I look forward to earning your trust & confidence.

I respect my privacy as much as you do yours. Rest assured that your personal information will never be sold or shared with others for any reason, ever.
You have my word.
