Your DNA isn’t a verdict; it’s a starting point. We sit down with epigenetic human performance coach Susan Robbins to unpack how daily choices—when you eat, how you sleep, the way you train, even when you schedule hard conversations—reshape gene expression and ripple into longevity, mood, and metabolic health. Instead of chasing hacks, we walk through practical tools that translate biology into clear steps you can follow without counting macros or buying into trends.

Susan breaks down the “hardware vs software” model, showing why single-gene takes like MTHFR are incomplete without context. We compare DNA testing as a blueprint with pH360 as a living user manual that adapts as you do. From precise body measurements and an AI model of developmental biology, it generates food lists ranked by nutrient density, flags avoids that inflame current issues, and suggests ideal timing for meals, training, sleep, focus, and social recharge. You’ll hear how the six health types—Activator, Connector, Guardian, Diplomat, Sensor, and Crusader—predict strengths, stress patterns, and what each person must do first to feel better.

We get real about menopause, GLP‑1 medications, and the limits of one-size-fits-all advice. Susan shares stories of clients who reversed pre-diabetes, normalized blood pressure, and slowed their epigenetic aging pace by aligning habits with their wiring. You’ll learn why cold plunges or fasting help some and harm others, how to calm an overactive nervous system before meals, and why clutter can quietly sabotage the Diplomat’s metabolism. The bigger win is emotional: understanding your biology grants permission to be yourself, improves communication at home, and turns “discipline” into design.
