About this episode
Do your perimenopause symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, and sleep issues feel like they are so much worse than your friend’s? Your DNA might explain why.
Today I’m speaking with Kim Ressler, Founder and CEO of SNiP Nutrigenomics, to unpack the growing science of nutrigenomics and what your genetic blueprint reveals about how you experience perimenopause and menopause.
If you've ever wondered why your symptoms feel so much worse than everyone else's, this episode has an answer worth hearing.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why menopause is more genetically influenced than most women realize
- How your DNA shapes specific symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes and more
- What genetic testing can tell you about your menopause experience
- How to use your DNA to make smarter nutrition and lifestyle decisions without going deep into biohacking
