At Journey to Health, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. What sets us apart is our scientifically backed, technology-driven approach to personalized health. Unlike conventional wellness programs, we integrate Test-Based Nutrition, using cutting-edge blood and scan analyses to tailor solutions to each individual. This ensures that every recommendation is rooted in real data, making it far more effective than generic diets or supplement regimens.

But health is more than just numbers—it's about mind-body balance, resilience, and transformation. As a certified holistic wellness coach, nutrition expert, and brain profiling practitioner, I help my clients not just achieve physical health but also mental clarity and emotional strength. My own journey—from the corporate world to building a thriving business, overcoming personal hardships, and mastering multiple disciplines—gives me a unique, real-world perspective that deeply resonates with those I serve.

Additionally, Journey to Health is not just a business; it's a mission. My goal is to impact one million lives, empowering people with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to take control of their health and live their best lives. I fuse science with lifelong learning, adventure, and community-driven empowerment, ensuring that my clients don’t just get results—they experience a sustainable, enjoyable transformation.

Unlike many competitors, I am also an experienced public speaker, content creator, and thought leader in the wellness space, actively engaging with audiences through talks, workshops, and digital platforms. This allows me to spread health awareness on a larger scale while maintaining deep, personal connections with my clients.

At the core, my business isn’t just about selling a product or service—it’s about changing lives. And that’s what truly sets Journey to Health apart.

What is the Difference Between the Intolerance Test and the Geneway DNA Test?

At Journey to Health, we offer an Intolerance Test, which is very different from the DNA Test in terms of purpose, methodology, and outcomes.

1. Intolerance Test (Offered by Journey to Health)

✅ Purpose: Identifies food intolerances and sensitivities that may be causing digestive issues, inflammation, bloating, fatigue, skin conditions, and other chronic symptoms.

✅ How it Works: This test analyzes your body’s immune response to specific foods, detecting IgG-mediated intolerances that can contribute to long-term discomfort and health issues.

✅ Results & Application:

• Provides a personalized list of foods you should avoid or moderate.
• Helps create a customized nutrition plan to improve gut health, digestion, and overall well-being.
• Ideal for people experiencing unexplained health symptoms and looking for immediate, practical dietary adjustments.

2. DNA Test (Genetic Testing)

✅ Purpose: Examines your genetic blueprint to identify predispositions to various health factors, including metabolism, fitness potential, disease risks, and nutrient processing.

✅ How it Works: A DNA sample is collected (usually via saliva or a cheek swab) and analyzed to detect genetic markers related to health, nutrition, and lifestyle factors.

✅ Results & Application:

• Offers insights into how your body responds to different foods, exercise, and supplements based on genetics.
• Helps create a long-term health and lifestyle strategy, including optimizing nutrient intake, fitness routines, and potential disease prevention.
• Ideal for people interested in understanding their genetic predispositions and making lifelong, proactive health decisions.

Key Differences:

Feature	Intolerance Test	DNA Test
Focus	Food intolerances & sensitivities	Genetic predispositions
Method	Measures immune response (IgG)	DNA analysis
Timeframe	Addresses current food reactions	Long-term genetic insights
Use Case	Managing food-related symptoms	Understanding genetic health risks
Actionable Insights	Immediate dietary changes for symptom relief	Personalized lifestyle planning for long-term wellness

Both tests offer valuable health insights, but they serve different purposes. If you experience digestive discomfort, inflammation, or food-related symptoms, the Intolerance Test can help you pinpoint and eliminate problem foods. If you want to understand your genetic health blueprint, the DNA Test provides a deeper look into your body’s natural tendencies.
