Nutrigenomics: Seeing Yourself in Your Story

Why do some diets or wellness plans work beautifully for one person and leave another feeling worse?

In this episode, Shelley Swapp shares how nutrigenomics — the study of how nutrition influences the way your genes express — can completely change the way you understand your health story. She takes you inside her work interpreting DNA results for women every day and the emotional moments that unfold when they finally see themselves in their genetics.

From laughter to tears to newfound compassion, Shelley shows how genetic insights can turn frustration into clarity — and help you design a plan that truly fits you.

In this episode, Shelley explores:

• Why your DNA holds clues to your unique nutrition and stress needs

• The difference between a “fast” and “slow” COMT gene and how that shapes your stress response

• How genetic patterns can influence fertility, mood, and hormone balance

• Why recognizing your biology can replace guilt and comparison with empowerment

• The real goal of nutrigenomics: turning information into alignment, not restriction

Listen if you’re ready to:

• Understand your body’s responses with compassion, not judgment

• See yourself as a whole, unique system — not a problem to fix

• Start working with your genes instead of against them

Mentioned in this episode:

• COMT gene and stress recovery

• Methylation pathways (folate, B-12, magnesium)

• Glutathione and antioxidant support
