Invest $247USD and let me give you your own personalized "instruction manual" to help you understand exactly how your body is wired to respond to certain foods, exercise, stressors, and supplements.

AND help you discover what you can do, lifestyle-wise, to foster the most optimal wellness outcomes!

Using the DNA Allure® Ultimate Genomics Package genetic testing kit and the PureGenomics™ platform,

we work together to . . .

... create a personalized wellness plan that you're confident is designed 100% for YOUR needs.

Ever feel like finding a wellness plan that works for you is trial and error?

You eat this food ...

Try this exercise ...

Test out this or that method for de-stressing on busy days ...

And then you just have to wait and see whether it works for you?

(And then if it doesn't, you have to start all over again at the beginning of the "trial and error" cycle!)

On this page, I'd like to help you skip that trial and error stage by giving you complete confidence about how your body reacts to any food, stressor or activity—and how that impacts your own wellness plan.

Most people spend years trying to figure this out.

I'd like to help you figure it out inside of an

hour-long Nourish Your DNA Review.

How a NOURISH YOUR DNA REVIEW works ...

Once you have had your DNA tested through either 23andMe® or Ancestry®, using the cutting edge research and technology of the PureGenomics™ platform, we work together to identify specific variations in your genetic makeup and customize a nutrition, activity and stress-management plan to help you achieve optimal wellness.

Why Review Your DNA With
In Balance?

When reviewing DNA material, it is certainly helpful to have the university biology classes and nutritional certification courses in Human Anatomy that Brenda Wollenberg and Alicia Mazari have taken.

Our additional training in nutritional genomics (Exercise, Cardiovascular Health, Immunology, Detoxification, Metabolic Management, and Mood and Cognition) gives further understanding of how to interpret genetic variations in a way that is helpful, practical and understandable.

Even beyond those layers of undergrad degrees and Registered Holistic Nutritionist certification, however, Alicia has a PhD in Botany and has taught, for decades, at a post-secondary level, including at several BC universities, and at the Boucher School of Naturopathic Medicine. Bottom line? Alicia knows DNA.

Understanding the role of genetics in our health, however, is not simply a matter of science. That's where Brenda's additional education comes in.

We know that epigenetics (environment) plays an important role in gene expression but we do not yet completely understand the complex interactions between various genes and exactly how environmental factors such as adverse childhood experiences, trauma and stress will affect a gene's expression.

With over a decade of training and employment in the field of social work, Brenda is a specialist in helping clients not only "get" the science of their genetics but in assisting them in "seeing" patterns of behavior that may have contributed to unhelpful gene expression.

Then, Brenda helps clients "shift" that behaviour to one that is more supportive of overall wellness.

When clients understand gene interplay and see how stress responses contribute to heightened risk,

then the dietary tools and stress-management suggestions Brenda makes to mitigate those risks make a lot of sense.

Bottom line?

Wellness can be complicated. We make it simple. And doable. So you can be your best YOU!

"Reading Your Genetics" 101

SNPs - What They Are

The genes that encode different enzymes are prone to mutations or SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), many of which change a gene's "instruction manual".
SNPs - Their Impact

The SNP may alter shape or activity, or perhaps impact a gene's stability or abundance.
Nutrient-Response - Protein, Fat, Carbs

Several SNPs impact our nutrient assimilation and can have an effect on the way we respond to protein, fat or carbohydrate intake.

Stress-Response - to Various Stressors

Other SNPs impact our stress responses and can affect the way we respond to different macronutrients when anxious or under duress.
Nutrigenomics - A Helpful Tool

Nutrigenomics studies relationships between genes, nutrition and health and shows how genetics affects nutritional needs.
Practical Plan - Sane, Simple, Sustainable

A targeted nutritional, lifestyle and supplement approach is the most effective way to address common SNP variations.

We have learned a whole new way of life with Brenda. We're finally eating well and even our bodies are starting to make sense to us. We love that Brenda focuses on every aspect of wellness, from sleeping to keeping active. If it were up to us, we would keep Brenda in our lives forever - we learn new things at every session and are on our way to living a more balanced, healthy life.
