Little did I know a simple solution was just around the corner. Carmen Tocheniuk, the DNA Diva, introduced me to DNA lifestyle testing. She recommended I do it to learn more about myself and my children. I had been researching DNA since adopting identical twins and decided to give it a try.
I never dreamed that getting a DNA health test would provide me with the key to my health issues! I discovered I have high genetic variations related to Vitamin B’s. My body has difficulty processing and utilizing B’s for healthy function. Through a busy life, stress, and irregular diet, I had depleted my Vitamin B stores and my body was paying a huge price. I learned so much more about my unique body and was able to use this information to restore my health.
I couldn’t believe the answer to my health issues was so simple. I vowed to bring this information to the world. I acquired the DNA company and founded dnaPower.
I’m passionate about helping people take power over their health by knowing their unique DNA. I want to share how DNA and nutrition can provide answers for your health as it did for me. I want to empower you to make smarter health decisions based on your unique DNA. Together we can create a healthier you, and a healthier world.”
Our company was one of the first in the world doing DNA health testing, launching in 2008. We saw enormous potential for new DNA technology to help support people’s health and wellness—particularly in the areas of diet and fitness. We were a pioneer in applying leading edge gene research to develop targeted gene panels.
dnaPower has been providing personalized testing and professional support since then to help people like you make better, data-driven decisions about their health. We have years of experience applying this knowledge to help you take proactive and positive action for your unique body.
