Exploring Epigenetics and Root Causes: Susan Robbins

Today's episode is a bit different, and I think you'll love it. We’re diving into epigenetics—how your lifestyle influences your genetic expression. This topic is key to understanding root causes and optimizing lifestyle interventions, particularly for thyroid patients. Today, I'll introduce you to my new friend, Susan Robbins. Susan is an expert in epigenetic human performance coaching and host of the podcast “Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable.” She’s a Level 2 Certified Apeiron Zoh DNA coach and a Precision Health Alliance (ph360/Shae) coach. Since 2015, Susan has been helping people optimize their health and was even named 2023 PHA Coach of the Year. She previously worked with TruDiagnostics to interpret epigenetic age test results for clients globally. In this episode, I share my recent health journey, focusing on my latest experience with perimenopause and low T3 levels (active thyroid hormone). We discuss epigenetics and how lifestyle choices impact genetic expression, as well as the value of DNA testing and personalized health strategies. Susan and I talk about finding our health flow, the impact of workout timing and stress on well-being, and the limitations of DNA in diagnosing thyroid issues. We explore T4 to T3 conversion and our experiences with T3 only thyroid medication, emphasizing the need for personalized health solutions and being proactive in our wellness journey. Why I'm working with Susan: Susan’s approach blends cutting-edge science and compassionate coaching, drawing on her personal past experiences with autoimmune issues, Lyme Disease, and the stress of a career in law enforcement. She helps people find the optimal path to health by understanding their unique genetic makeup. After the episode, be sure to check out her podcast, where she explores how lifestyle affects genetic expression and quality of life.
