DNA Testing for Endometriosis with Kat Smith


Listen Later

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with my friend and colleague, Kat Smith!

Kat was diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis in 2009 and after years of decisions being made for her, took ownership of her own health by training as a nutritional therapist. Kat is a Lifecode Gx registered nutrigenomics practitioner who specialises in DNA testing. Kat's passion is empowering women with the mindset and nervous system tools to confront their trauma, which she believes is the missing piece in endometriosis management.

In today’s episode, Kat and I are talking about how she uses genetic testing to help people with endo focus on their priority health areas with tailored and individual changes.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What DNA testing for endo is and why Kat uses it.
  • The areas of genetic testing Kat typically focuses on with endo clients.
  • Examples of gene variations and how someone may adapt their endo care/approach to better support these.

  • In this episode I use a lot of my own health examples so that Kat and I can demonstrate how genetic testing may work! But remember, everyone is different - so it’s best to test rather than guess with genetics!
