Improve Your Healthspan: How Your Genes Affect Your Health with Dr Denise Furness Memory Health Made Easy

Finding out your genes increase your risk for a disease can be quite scary.
It almost sounds like your fate, your health is dictated by your genetic makeup.
But your genes don’t have to be a life sentence.
You don’t have to accept that fate...well, not yet.
What if I told you that you can still change the course of your health?
That you can fight against and lower your risk for...
Neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia.
Or that a gene could be the reason you’re finding it hard to lose weight.
Are your genes truly your destiny?
Well, I believe that you can still rewrite your ‘health’ destiny and weave something more beautiful.
Something that doesn’t restrict or limit the quality of your life.
Something that lets you scream out at the top of your lungs...
Yes, I can fight this! My genes are not in control, I am!
Because that is what we all need to become.
We all have to become empowered health warriors.
Armed with the knowledge about our risk factors and motivated to make the necessary changes.
Lifestyle changes are powerful because our health isn’t completely based on our genes.
A personalised lifestyle plan and genes both affect your lifespan.
A proper diet and nutrition.
Exercise, movement, and physical activity.
Getting enough sleep.
All of these including a whole host of other factors have an impact.
Genes are still important.
They play an important role in our lives, but we don’t understand them fully.
Despite what we already know, there are still common misconceptions about genes.
For those of you who have done genetic testing, what were your results like?
Does seeing those red, green, and yellow results give you a better understanding?
Or maybe, it only increased your frustration and confusion.
It might be that you became more anxious about your health.
Far from being the empowered individual, you end up being more stressed.
Stressed about what your future would be.
Some people are even more susceptible to getting more stressed than they already are.
Oh, what to do now?
Build the right team that supports and guides you.
Look for a functional medicine practitioner.
Or someone that has training and knowledge in this space.
There have been more and more practitioners like myself who’ve been interested and working towards improving their knowledge.
So they can help people like you.
Now’s not the time to take a backseat. 
We’re talking about your health here.
And you are the driver.
Not your genes, but YOU.
So strap on your seatbelt and shift the gears. 
Don’t worry though because I’m here to guide you.
