Listeners asked, so I'm answering. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful tools in personalized health: pH 360. You’ve heard it mentioned before, but today, we’re going deeper into the how and why behind it. How can a system understand your body so precisely it feels almost eerie? And why are so many people stuck spinning their wheels with one-size-fits-all approaches that were never designed for them in the first place? This conversation breaks down the s...
What if the root cause of neurodegenerative disease isn’t just genetics, but something we’ve been overlooking? In this episode, I sit down with Nikki Schultek to explore the connection between pathogens, brain health, and chronic illness. We dive into how infections like Lyme and other often undetected microbes may influence cognitive decline, and why so many people are being missed in the current system. Nikki shares her journey from patient to researcher and the work she’s leading to uncove...
Peptides are one of the most talked-about tools in health right now, but with all the attention has come a lot of confusion. In this episode, Susan sits down with peptide expert Connor Dean for a real, accessible conversation about what peptides are, how they work, and why quality, sourcing, and proper guidance matter. Together, they break down the difference between compounded peptides and FDA-approved options, explore common peptides like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu, and discuss the benefits and lim...
There is a lot of noise online right now around cholesterol, keto, carnivore, and what actually counts as “healthy” and in this episode, Susan cuts straight through it. She unpacks some of the biggest myths being repeated in the wellness space, explains why high cholesterol should never be brushed off without deeper testing, and shares why a one-size-fits-all approach can do more harm than good. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your body is not a trend. Susan breaks down the conn...
In Part 2, Susan and Dr. Bill Rawls unpack the microbial side of chronic illness, why certain pathogens don’t “hit fast,” but instead persist, seed the body, and reactivate when cellular stress is high. They discuss why antibiotics often fall short for slow-growing, stealth microbes (and why overuse can create bigger problems), then shift into what makes herbs different: broad-spectrum antimicrobial support + cellular protection that can be used long-term when appropriate. You’ll also hear ab...
What if the root of most chronic symptoms isn’t “one diagnosis”… but cellular stress? In Part 1, Susan sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls, MD to explore what happens when we live outside the margins set by our genes, and how modern life (processed foods, toxins, blue light, chronic stress, poor sleep, sedentary days) shifts cells into a constant survival state. Dr. Rawls breaks down his Five Elements of Wellness and why supporting the cell is the most practical place to start. IN THIS EPISODE, WE...
Shift work isn’t “just a schedule.” It’s a full-body stressor that can quietly rewire your circadian rhythm, metabolism, immune function, hormones, and even the way your genes express. And if you’re a first responder, medical professional, or anyone grinding through nights or rotating shifts, this episode is for you. Susan shares her personal experience working graveyard shift as a police officer (and how fast it affected her body), then breaks down what’s happening beneath the surface: circa...
What if your “age” isn’t just the number on your driver’s license? In this episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable, Susan Robbins pulls back the curtain on epigenetic age testing, what it measures, why it matters, and how it can be one of the most empowering tools in your optimization toolbox. Joined by Dr. Lauren Clark of TruDiagnostic, Susan breaks down epigenetics in a way that finally makes sense: your genes are the hardware, but your epigenome is the software, shaped by str...
Is walking really exercise, or just something we do between workouts? In this Raw, Real, Relatable mini episode, Susan tackles one of the most common (and damaging) fitness myths out there: that walking “doesn’t count.” And she’s not holding back. In a culture obsessed with intensity, sweat, and punishment-style workouts, walking is often dismissed as too easy or ineffective. But science, and real-world results, tell a very different story. From clients with chronic fatigue and autoimmune con...
Susan Robbins sits down with Shelly Jefferis, M.A. for a high-energy, real-talk conversation about toxins, lifestyle, and how everyday exposures can influence genetic expression. They break down what actually matters (without fear or perfectionism): how environmental toxins can dial up inflammation, impact detox pathways, and contribute to symptoms people often normalize, like brain fog, low energy, and poor sleep. You’ll learn simple ways to reduce your toxin load starting where you are, rea...
“Everything in moderation” sounds harmless, even responsible. But what if that phrase is actually keeping you stuck… or quietly damaging your health? In this Raw, Real, Relatable mini episode, Susan breaks down why moderation is not one-size-fits-all and how this widely accepted advice can work against your unique biology. Epigenetics shows us that health is personal. What’s “moderate” for one person can be inflammatory, disruptive, or even dangerous for another, especially when it come...
What happens when an old epigenetics training connection pops back into your inbox… talking stem cells, regenerative medicine, and the future of healing? Susan reconnects with Daniel Fazio for a high-energy, “buckle up” conversation that makes stem cells feel way less mysterious, and a lot more practical. Daniel breaks down Stem Cells 101 in a way you’ll actually remember (think: your body as a city, and stem cells as the “contracted construction crew” that gets called in when roads, building...
What if some of what you’re calling “anxiety,” brain fog, low mood, or restless sleep isn’t a personality flaw… but a gut + immune signal your body has been trying to send for years? In this raw, real, and deeply empowering conversation, Susan sits down with functional medicine physician Dr. Jill Carnahan (and yes, she’s right here in Colorado!) to unpack the gut-brain axis and how the microbiome can influence neuroinflammation, cognition, mood, histamine, and resilience. Dr. Jill shares her ...
This episode is a heartfelt end-of-year reflection, and a moment to pause after passing a major milestone. With 105 episodes now behind her, Susan takes time to reflect on what it has meant to create Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable, a space built on honesty, curiosity, and the belief that lifestyle truly drives genetic expression. In this episode, Susan shares gratitude for the listeners who’ve helped this podcast grow into a global community, opens up about the personal challenges...
This mini episode is exactly what Everyday Epigenetics promises: raw, real, and relatable, literally recorded out in nature, wind, trail noise, construction sounds and all. After my conversation with Katie Asmus from the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute, I decided to stop talking about somatic nature therapy… and actually experience it. So I headed to Boulder, Colorado, met two incredible therapists-in-training, and stepped onto the trail with no plan, no expectations, and zero control. What ...
What if feeling better isn’t about “trying harder”… but about coming back online in your own body, and letting nature do what it’s always done: regulate, restore, and reconnect? In this episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., Susan Robbins sits down with licensed psychotherapist, wilderness guide, and educator Katie Asus to explore the powerful intersection of somatic therapy (body + mind) and nature-based therapy, and how both can influence your nervous system, your choices, ...
Oxidative stress is happening in your body every single day, but when it builds faster than your body can manage it, it quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, premature aging, immune dysfunction, and more. In this mini episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable, Susan Robbins breaks down oxidative stress in a way that actually makes sense, and more importantly, shows you how to work with your biology instead of fighting it. In this episode: What oxidative stress really is...
If you’ve ever felt “reactive to everything” food, smells, seasons, stress, and been told it’s all in your head, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. In this conversation, Susan sits down with health engineer and gut specialist Steven Wright, co-founder of HealthyGut.com, to unpack the real story behind histamine, mast cell issues, gut dysbiosis, and why so many highly sensitive, driven people are hitting a wall with their health. You’ll hear Steven’s raw story of IBS, panic attacks, “s...
In Part 2 of my conversation with the brilliant Dr. Daniella Remy, we go behind the scenes of the pH360 / Shae system, the AI-driven, epigenetics-based platform I use with my clients to create truly individualized nutrition and lifestyle plans. If you’ve ever wondered why generic diets don’t work for you…Why one person thrives on intermittent fasting while another crashes… Or how food can be mapped to YOUR unique body, genetics, history, and environment… Dr. Remy was one of the scientific arc...
Perimenopause isn’t the beginning of the end, it’s the beginning of understanding your body in a whole new way. And this episode is the one every woman in her 40s and 50s needs to hear.
