Epigenetics

Epigenetics is a fascinating field of science that examines the effects of environmental factors and lifestyle on gene expression and — consequently — our health.

What exactly are our genes again?
Genes are the building blocks of our DNA and contain instructions for producing proteins, which play an essential role in the functions of our body. While our DNA is unchangeable, gene expression — the switching on or off of genes — can be influenced. This is the scientific field of Epigenetics.
Factors such as nutrition, stress, exercise, sleep, exposure to toxins, and even your thoughts and emotions play a key role in this process. This means: Through our lifestyle and choices, we can actively contribute to our health and self-healing capacity.

The Pillars of Self-Care & Epigenetics

Image representing The Pillars of Self-Care & Epigenetics

In our lives — and especially in times of stress, illness, loss, or greater challenges — we need good 'self-care' that supports and nourishes our (life) energy. A comprehensive perspective and focus on this are essential for everyone’s health of body, heart, and mind.

This coaching offers you insights and knowledge based on the holistic health pillars of epigenetics (such as nutrition, movement, sleep, psyche, transgenerational influences...) and awareness. This ranges from conscious lifestyle choices for good health to awareness and self-knowledge about, for example, thought patterns, (unconscious) fears, or inner inhibitions.

The 'DNA Health' Test:
Everyone is unique — especially when it comes to what your body needs to function optimally. This test provides you with valuable knowledge: your genetic blueprint offers insights into how your genes influence essential metabolic processes in your body. It empowers you to make targeted adjustments to your nutrition, lifestyle and environment, helping you strengthen your health from the ground up.
This is NOT a diagnostic test.

What does epigenetics bring us?

Our bodies are constantly running processes and communications, without us noticing or being aware of them. Understanding this gives us important insights into how we can enhance our health and adjust our diet, lifestyle and environment accordingly. After all, everything is interconnected.

An example: there is a continuous flow of communication between our brain and heart. Think of a startle response: your brain registers the alarm, your heart starts beating faster, and your body prepares to react quickly.
Are you perhaps already familiar with 'heart coherence breathing'? With this tool we can consciously influence this communication and tap into our self-healing ability to return to a state of calm.

The science of epigenetics provides us with important knowledge and parameters: it allows us to better understand patterns in our lives and optimally support and enhance our health and well-being.

Genogram work — Know your origins

A very important and fascinating field within Epigenetics is our origin: our family history and ancestors.
What influences on lifestyle, diet and our health have we inherited from them? What mental aspects also live within us — such as fears, their values or inner beliefs? Or are there significant events (traumas) that may have left traces across more than one generation?

Image representing paragraph

Our ancestors will tell us: The Transgenerational genogram work provides important and valuable insights into our own lives, making it a powerful tool for our health and personal development.
Will you join me? Embark on a special journey — going back two generations — and discover the meaning of these influences on your own life.

This coaching offers a unique combination of scientific knowledge from epigenetics & the power of consciousness — in the broadest sense of the word.

Interesting to know: Our brain and body do not distinguish between a real experience and thoughts about it, meaning that — neurochemically — the body reacts the same to both. This means, that merely thinking about problems or unpleasant experiences can trigger stress responses in us.

On the other hand this also means, that mindfulness techniques — such as meditation and visualization — can have a positive impact on our well-being.
This is valuable & essential knowledge for our health!

“ The environment that surrounds us and the thoughts that fill our mind, create chemical reactions in our body that determine our biology. ” Bruce Lipton
