Obesity has increased in the US from 30.5% to 41.9% in just two decades.

Our genes didn’t suddenly change.
Their expression did.

🧬 Genetics are the blueprint.
💡 Epigenetics are the light switches.

This isn’t a willpower problem — it’s biology responding to inputs.

Ultra-processed food, chronic stress, poor sleep, sedentary living, and endocrine disruptors are switching genes ON that were meant to stay quiet.

And this matters because: Nature informs nurture.

Your genetic design determines how your body responds to food, movement, stress, and recovery.

When we ignore that, we apply the wrong inputs — and biology adapts.

Your biology isn’t broken.
It’s responsive.

Obesity isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a biological signal.

And signals?
Can be changed. ✨

Can we finally let go of the idea that there is one right exercise for all?

It’s human nature to want to share good health with our friends and family. But, please…just because CrossFit, or Pilates, or Hot Yoga, or Powerlifting, or Buzz Lagree worked for you, does NOT MEAN it will work for your loved one.

If you are not recovering well from workouts, feel puffy, look red or inflamed, constantly have heavy and sore legs, feel tired, etc. your workout is probably not working for you, and no wonder you hate it!

Some people need to do heavy strength exercises to see gains. Others will become inflamed and injured from heavy strength.

Some need to sprint or do HIIT. Others need long, slow distance.

Some need more recovery.

It’s just a simple swab to your cheek to find out which one you are.

What are you waiting for? 🫶

Being able to ski with my family is my “WHY”

I’ll never forget sitting at the base of Deer Valley in excruciating herniated disc pain after one green run, popping Ibuprofen, and realizing I was going to need to make some changes so that I wouldn’t be sidelined in our family’s adventures.

Being a root cause doctor, I knew I had the resources to figure this out.

I needed to learn how to move - and I did. Which I credit to Dr. Edythe Heus and Rev6.

While not in the “overweight category” for BMI, I was still a good 20 pounds over my healthy weight.

The weight was not helping the pain.

In fact, extra fat tissue stores more IL6, an inflammatory cytokine that will lead to more pain, and more connective tissue and tendon degradation.

When I learned about my genetics, I realized that my body produces extra IL6 (lucky me), perpetuating the inflammation in my body. Essentially my body was rampant with inflammation, even though I was “doing all the right things”.

When I squashed the inflammation with targeted supplements, the right kind of exercise for my genetics, and a more intentional diet, I lost the extra weight almost effortlessly, and the pain has vanished.

👉🏻 Before you think about having a back surgery - find out how much inflammation your body is producing, get rid of the extra weight, and learn how to move.

Your body will thank you, your family will thank you, and your ski pants will thank you.

🤔 Did you know that if you lift heavy weights with the wrong genetics, you will deposit more insulin around the muscles, leading to a layer of fat under your muscles?

Don’t fall into the trap of lifting the same way your partner, friend, or favorite influencer does. What works for one, does not necessarily work for another. 💕

Test, don’t guess!

DM me the word “GENES” for more information.

🧠Your brain is hardwired to be hungry.

The MC4R gene is one reason why.

MC4R sits in the brain’s appetite center. Its job is to sense energy availability and protect you from starvation.

When MC4R signaling is reduced:
• hunger signals are louder
• fullness signals are weaker
• weight loss triggers stronger pushback

This isn’t lack of discipline.
It’s neurobiology.

Some people code for less MC4R receptors, effectively amplifying hunger.

That’s why sustainable change isn’t about fighting your brain.

It’s about understanding how your brain regulates appetite and working with it.

Do you have the MC4R gene? If you are in AZ, WA, or CO, visit my website www.avra-health.com to learn more about getting your genes tested.

🧬 Epigenetic processes are essentially repeated exposures and lifestyle habits that have put a mark on our genes. The more marks we accumulate, the more our health goes awry.

For example, when one stops smoking, we can still identify the epigenetic mark - several years later.

But - it’s about more than just lifestyle.

When we understand our individual susceptibilities and genetics, we can support our genome in a way that helps keep epigenetic marks at bay.

We can’t do ALL the things - I saw a hilarious post where a woman in perimenopause was exercising right, using the sauna, cold plunges, doing all the supplements, drinking her smoothies, getting rest, etc. - hilariously, to the point of exhaustion. 🥴

Knowing your genetics helps you prioritize the lifestyle habits that will give you the most bang for your buck, without exhausting all of your resources.

My body became more sensitive to cortisol and inflammation. ‘

Understanding my genetics helped me to dial in the exact frequency, intensity, and type of workouts.

Combined with the correct diet, and a few supplements, I was able to calm the cortisol and inflammation storm in my body.

I have so much peace knowing exactly what workouts I need to get done in a week - and it is very doable and moderate!

If you reside in Colorado, Washington State, or Arizona - I would love to help you dial in your exercise, diet, and supplements for 2026.

Comment the word “GENES” and I’ll send you next steps for working with me.

Don’t make the mistake of going out hard with HIIT training in 2026 just to find that your body is better suited for endurance training.

This might work just fine in your 20’s and even 30’s - but once you hit your 40’s, precision is everything.

Your body is not going to be happy if it was designed for endurance training but you are doing HIIT because both cortisol and inflammation will increase, then turning up to 90% of your other genes in their adverse position, making an improvement in body composition an uphill battle.

The type of training that is best for you is coded in your DNA and this can be tested very easily.

For more information, DM me the word “GENES”.

New Year, New Metabolism? Start with Your Genes.

You can’t change your genetics… but you can change how they express.

Here’s the truth no one is talking about:

Two women can follow the exact same diet and exercise plan, and get completely different results — because their genetics determine how they burn fat, manage appetite, handle carbs, and respond to certain foods.

Genes like FTO, MC4R, ADIPOQ, and ADRB2 influence:
✨ Hunger and cravings
✨ How efficiently you burn stored fat
✨ Insulin sensitivity
✨ Your “best” macronutrient ratio

When you understand your blueprint, you stop guessing and start creating a plan that actually works for you — not against you.

2026 is the year of precision weight loss, not punishment.

Ready to learn what your genes say about your metabolism?
DM me “GENES” and I’ll send you the details.
