From there, she found a place to be able to help her clients out of their own pains and struggles.

In this episode, Deanna shares how being knowledgeable about our own genetics can help us manage our health. We also talked a lot of things related to gut health, such as inflammation, Eczema, and elimination diets.

- Inflammatory markers, what they are, and what to learn from them.
- Modifying genetic illnesses.
