Here are some of the most common reasons people work with me, along with the types of genetic testing we often consider together.

My role is to help you navigate your options and figure out what testing makes the most sense for your health and goals, AND to translate those results into clear, actionable plans.

If this resonates with you, book a discovery call with @goldengeneticshealth (link in my bio) to work with me 🤗 by @suppgc

Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminder: Knowing your personal breast cancer risk is one of the most important steps you can take toward prevention and early detection!💕

And here’s something we wish more women knew: You don’t have to wait until there’s a breast cancer diagnosis in your family to start asking questions about your own risk.

October is a great time to go beyond breast cancer awareness and take action. 🎗️

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, understanding your individual risk can help guide important conversations about:

✨ When to begin breast cancer screening
✨ Whether additional screening, like a breast MRI, may be appropriate
✨ If hereditary cancer genetic testing makes sense for you
✨ What proactive steps you can take to support your long-term health

At Golden Genetics, we combine genetic counseling, hereditary cancer testing, and an integrative approach to prevention to help you better understand your risk and what you can do about it.

Because breast cancer awareness is important, but knowing what to do with that awareness is even better. 💗

This October, let’s make breast cancer prevention and early detection part of the conversation.

Have you ever had your personal breast cancer risk assessed? We would love to hear below!

De-influencing you toward what actually works: your genetics should beat the wellness trend every time ☺️

The supplement stack, diet, random MTHFR genetic test, or health advice that worked for someone on TikTok wasn’t designed with your DNA, family history, health history, or goals in mind.

There’s a big difference between:

🧬 Choosing the right clinical-grade genetic test for the health question you’re actually asking vs. buying whatever DTC test is trending.

🥗 Understanding how your nutrigenomics may influence the way your body responds to certain nutrients vs. unnecessarily cutting out foods because someone online did.

⚡️ Looking at your methylation pathways in context vs. assuming everyone with an MTHFR variant needs high-dose methylated supplements.

🌱 Building recommendations around your results and the rest of your health picture vs. copying someone else’s supplement routine.

And yes… working with a trained functional and integrative genetic counselor (at Golden Genetics 🤭) who can put your results into context vs. asking AI to interpret a raw genetic data file. 👀

Personalized health shouldn’t mean chasing every new wellness trend, it should mean knowing which information is actually relevant to you and which you can happily scroll right past!

What wellness trend would you add to the scissors side? 😅

Why test someone who's already healthy? Because how your genes work together points to actions a single-gene readout can't.

Happy Earth Day to all who celebrate! Go frolic, soak up some sun, heck maybe even kiss the ground 🌎🫶🏼☀️

In all seriousness, our health is shaped by our genes and our environment. This includes our diet, lifestyle, and the world around us.

One of my favorite niche areas of research looks at how simply being outside impacts health. There’s growing evidence that time in nature supports mental and physical wellbeing. Even more specifically, being near water (sometimes called “blue spaces”) has been linked to improved mood and reduced stress.

One study from 2022 found that looking at waterscapes (pools, rivers, oceans, etc.) for under two minutes was associated with measurable decreases in heart rate and blood pressure…aka a calmer nervous system.

So consider this your sign to get outside today, and to take care of the earth that does so much to take care of us. Your body and brain will thank you! 🧠🤸🏼‍♀️

Genetic testing is often associated with diagnosing disease risk. But another powerful use is understanding prevention 🔬

Traditional testing may focus on specific conditions such as hereditary cancers, often guided by family history and age of diagnosis. Nutrigenetics takes a broader approach 🧬

It helps explain why certain symptoms appear, why some bodies respond differently to food or stress, and how biology manages nutrients and metabolism.

This information can support both prevention and symptom insight.

When genetics explains the why, health strategies become clearer, more personalized, and focused on supporting long term wellbeing.

Not all inflammation is bad.

Acute inflammation helps you heal.
Chronic inflammation (when the immune system stays overactive long-term) is what’s linked to everyday symptoms and chronic disease risk.

We don’t need to overcomplicate it, but supporting the body in lowering chronic inflammation can meaningfully improve healthspan (how long we feel good and function well). More soon 🫶🏼 by @suppgc

2026!!!!

Been thinking a lot about what I want to prioritize this year: more moments that slow me down and actually feel meaningful.

So here I am, ironically posting about wanting less screen time and more creative outlets that don’t involve my phone, computer, or TV.

Putting this out in the world so I can stay true to it 🫶🏼 by @suppgc
