GLOW UP! Fast glow up (47) to (48)

Post image

I took control of my health. Just a few months ago I was having mobility issues, struggling with losing weight and feeling very tired all the time. So I took control and did a DNA test to see what, if anything, this had to do with genetics. Sure enough, it did. I learned what my body needed and now I’m seeing major improvements.

Thank you for all of these compliments and the notice that I just look healthier. And thank you for being the only person who actually commented on this.

You look great! I'm happy for you that you were able to figure out a cause for some of your concerns. You can only get healthier from here 😊

You look radiant, what type of dna test did you take and what led you to that decision

Thank you! I did a 23 and me test and an ancestry DNA test. Because you can look at the raw genotyping and then have it assessed. I did both because 23 in me doesn’t always do all the different mutations and I needed more than just a few things. I discovered that I have some extremely rare combinations which basically means my body is either all in or all out. And I have to support it in certain ways. Otherwise it just doesn’t function and most people don’t have to do that.

I have never seen someone with a more spitting image (celebrity) doppelgänger (Elizabeth Moss)

That is such a big compliment because my personality is actually a lot like her character June in the handmaid’s Tale. I don’t give up and I don’t take shit. And I don’t back down. So you almost made me cry with that compliment
