What happens when the most powerful medical system in the world faces a crisis — and breaks?

In this episode, we take an honest look at how the conventional model failed during COVID, not to shame it, but to learn from it — and to begin introducing what we call The Terrain Way of practicing medicine.

Because here’s the truth: Emergency medicine saves lives. But emergency-room thinking can’t build health.

• Where mainstream medicine lost its way — especially during COVID
  

• Why lack of accountability destroys trust & innovation
  

• The danger of “one-size-fits-all” healthcare
  

• Why the future belongs to slow medicine — not speed, not shortcuts
  

• Using conventional labs as a starting point, not an ending point
  

• Why we “out-primary-care primary care”
  

• The real work of preventing chronic disease
  

• Individualized care vs protocol-driven care
  

• “Do no harm” doesn’t mean “do nothing”
  

We share how we practice at Terrain Wellness — digging deep, listening long, testing intelligently, and honoring the design of the human body instead of forcing it into rigid protocols.

Healing isn’t fast food. It’s slow, wise, patient, and personal.

Systems fail when pride leads and humility leaves. God’s order brings healing; man's arrogance brings confusion.

“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” — Proverbs 15:22 (NASB)

True medicine seeks truth — even when inconvenient. True healing requires humility — even when uncomfortable.

Most people think genetics are a fixed script — a destiny you can’t escape. But your DNA is not a verdict. It’s a blueprint — and your daily choices, environment, and spiritual life determine how that blueprint gets built.

In Part II of our genetics discussion, we explore how to work with your biology instead of feeling trapped by it. If you’ve been told, “It’s just genetic,” this episode will set you free.

• Why genes don’t act alone — they operate in networks
  

• What SNPs really mean (beyond “I have MTHFR”)
  

• 23&Me, Ancestry, StrateGene, Opus23 & raw data decoders
  

• The truth about methylation & why it matters for mood, detox, hormones & more
  

• Folic acid vs. methylfolate — and why the difference matters
  

• Cleaning up your epigenetics (the signals above your genes)
  

• Why knowing your genes isn’t the same as healing your body
  

• Daily habits that turn healing genes “on” — nutrition, rest, detox, faith & safety in your nervous system
  

• The difference between genetic labels and genetic stewardship.

  ✨ Spiritual Reflection

  Your biology was never meant to be a prison — it was designed for partnership and participation.

  
  

Your genetic report does not get the final say — God does.

Your biology was never meant to be a prison — it was designed for partnership and participation.

“I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live.” — Deuteronomy 30:19 (MSG)

You don’t inherit hopelessness — you inherit the ability to choose healing, alignment, and life.

Are your genes really your destiny? Or could your environment, lifestyle, and even your faith change how your DNA expresses itself?

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Dani and Richard Lockwood unpack how modern medicine often treats genetics like religious doctrine—rigid and unchangeable. But true health isn’t found in fatalism; it’s found in stewardship.

🔍 In this episode, we explore:

• Why DNA isn’t destiny—how genes respond to environment, mindset, and faith

• The difference between genetic inheritance and spiritual heritage

• Epigenetics: what it means to live “above your genes”
  

• The “Twin Unicorn” example and how identical DNA can create radically different lives
  

• Understanding common SNPs (like MTHFR, COMT, and GST) and their impact on detoxification, hormones, and mood
  

• Common symptoms of poor genetic expression: allergies, mood imbalance, fatigue, and more
  

• Why premature genetic testing can be misleading if your body’s terrain isn’t clean
  

• Dr. Dani’s full-circle journey—why lifestyle and environment must come before lab work
  

Genetic expression is more than chemistry—it’s communication. What you eat, how you rest, the faith you practice, and even the words you speak all shape how your body interprets its code.

Our genes may carry the echoes of the generations before us, but God’s mercy rewrites every story. What’s inherited doesn’t have to be repeated.

“I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” — Deuteronomy 5:9-10 (NASB)

Your DNA is not a life sentence—it’s an invitation to stewardship, healing, and transformation.
