Unlock the secrets of personalized wellness with our insightful guest, Chanci Dawn, a certified life wellness and female embodiment coach. Chanci shares her transformative journey from being bewildered by the nutrition world to harnessing the power of genetics to provide individualized health solutions. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to understand the importance of bio-individuality and genetic mapping in crafting a health plan that is as unique as you are. We take a deep dive into Chanci's personal experiences with PCOS and challenge the one-size-fits-all approach that is so prevalent in today's health and wellness culture.
We explore the cutting-edge concept of genetic health and how it can be pivotal in tailoring wellness strategies that respect your unique genetic makeup. Chanci helps us unravel the complex layers of stress, inflammation, and sleep as foundational pillars of well-being. By likening genes to light switches that can influence health, we emphasize how DNA testing offers a clearer path to personalized health plans, removing the guesswork and empowering you with actionable insights. This holistic approach is particularly significant for women over 50, acknowledging the bodily changes they experience and advocating for a personal weight set point where health and happiness go hand in hand.
As we move through the episode, we demystify the topic of food sensitivities and discuss how genetic understanding can provide lifelong insights beyond regular food sensitivity tests. Chanci shares her expertise on managing stress, sleep, and inflammation, offering a compassionate approach to self-care. We also extend an invitation for a free 30-minute consultation to better align your health goals with personalized strategies. Please share this enlightening conversation with loved ones, and subscribe for more insights on living a life that truly celebrates your unique value and positive impact on the world.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, beautiful friends, it's Marni Martin and
welcome to this episode of Lifeis Delicious.
I'm a multi-passionateentrepreneur, best-selling
author, foodie and voiceoverartist, and I created the Life
is Delicious podcast with onesimple mission in mind to help
(00:22):
you add more flavor to your lifeand to help you write your own
recipe for a life that feedsyour soul.
I'm so glad you're here.
Firstly, I just want toacknowledge you for being here,
because there is so many placesthat your brain can go and
there's so much information outthere that I really appreciate
(00:44):
you spending a few minutes withme here.
And if this is your first timehere, welcome to the Life is
Delicious family.
So today we have a special guest.
We have certified life wellnessand female embodiment coach,
chansey Dawn.
She has an advancedcertification in somatic trauma
therapy and she is also aholistic practitioner
(01:06):
specializing in helping womenfind their optimal health and
well-being through genetic DNAmapping and her integrative
genetic health report.
Welcome to the show, chansey,thank you.
So as we get started, let'sjust paint a picture for our
listeners as to what was goingon in your world prior to this
(01:26):
work and what led you to thisreally important work and I was
just really attracted to itbecause I always really felt
(01:47):
like there was just.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It was so important to approach health with the
whole body approach right.
We didn't want to just look atwhat to eat, what not to eat.
You need to look at stress, youneed to look at sleep, you need
to look at the whole person infront of you.
So that's why I was reallyattracted to the holistic aspect
.
But what happened is that I didall my studies and I was
(02:08):
working with clients and Ibecame so confused.
I was confused about my ownhealth and nutrition and
everyone else's, because whatwas working for one person was
not working for the other, and Iwas diagnosed with PCOS at a
very young age.
So especially weight was alwayssomething that I was struggling
(02:29):
with.
Fertility, mood, stuff, like itwas a lifelong struggle and I'd
be helping other women and thesame things I was teaching them
to do.
I was getting really jealousbecause I'm like none of this is
working for me and I felt likea little bit of a fraud.
So I stepped back and I took abreak from the nutrition space
(02:50):
for a long while and worked at awork self employed, as a
somatic life coach and thenworked at a wellness retreat for
a while, and I just started toreally fall in love with the
idea of the bio individualityand how one thing does not fit
(03:11):
everyone.
Health cannot be a blanketapproach and it was through
these years of falling deeper inlove with this and really doing
my own research and learningmore about my own body and what
she needs that I actuallydiscovered genetics.
And when I was going throughschool this was way back
epigenetics just started to be athing, but there wasn't enough
(03:34):
science behind it to really beable to implement it in my
practice, and about a year agoit was reintroduced to me.
I was like shining light.
This is it, this is all I wantto do.
Quit everything else and forabout a year now this is all I'm
doing, because you can't getmore personalized and individual
than this approach.
And now there's no confusionLike that's all wiped away and
(03:56):
it's just so clear.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, can we just step back a little bit for the
listeners, and can you tell uswhat PCOS is?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, of course, pcos just stands for polycystic
ovarian syndrome.
It's a very common thing that alot of women struggle with and
deal with, and there's a lot ofdifferent symptoms that can go
along with it.
For me, it was mainly weight,you know struggles and fertility
, and then hair a lot of hair onmy face and everywhere Got it.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That must have been really frustrating.
Yeah, wow.
So when we spoke earlier, Iasked you what one of the most
common concerns that people cometo you with, and I think you
said weight loss, and of course,at this time of year, it's on
everybody's minds.
But you also said that weightloss often isn't just about diet
(04:48):
, that stress and inflammationand sleep also play a huge role.
Let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Absolutely yes.
So I have like a love-haterelationship with weight loss.
I don't like the diet industry.
I created a whole programaround breaking free from diet
culture and learning how to loveyour body and really come home
to her.
So I want to make that superclear that I think the messaging
(05:17):
that's given to women is reallysad and it's really damaging.
And I love it because when welearn how to really nourish our
body properly, when we learn howto take care of our bodies, our
bodies settle into what'scalled the weight set point.
And this is where you'rehealthy, right, this is where
(05:38):
you're not obsessed witheverything you're putting in
your mouth, you have a greatrelationship with food, you feel
confident, you have energy,you're sleeping well and, again,
it's that holistic approach.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So I just really want to mention that, okay, because
I'm very passionate aboutbreaking free from diet culture,
okay, and yeah, I think it's soimportant Of course, and the
reason I thought thisconversation was such an
important one to have is that Iam a woman over 50, as are most
of my friends and it seems nowthat all of us are feeling like
(06:13):
our bodies are just doing someweird things and that it seems
that there's just no one sizefits all.
We're all going throughsomething different and yet
similar.
It's just really odd.
So there's so muchmisinformation out there, so
let's talk a little bit aboutthat.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Exactly.
And the approach is the onlyapproach that works, I believe
is knowing you and knowing whatyou need at that deep genetic
level.
Some people stumble upon thisright Like this is why there's
some things that work forsomeone, they swear by it and
then the other person it's likethat's actually doing the
(06:47):
opposite.
Sometimes, you know, we stumbleupon what works for our
genetics.
But when we can actuallyunderstand and get the test done
and then understand and havethat wisdom behind it, then we
can approach it again for thewhole body approach, the whole
woman approach.
So again, it's not just let'scut some carbs and eat more
(07:10):
protein.
It just is not.
It doesn't work that way.
We need to first look at stress,okay, and inflammation and
sleep, these three things.
If we don't actually supportourselves at the genetic level
with this, then these threethings, if we don't actually
support ourselves at the geneticlevel with this, then these
three things will actually undoany work you're trying to do.
(07:30):
So stress obviously createscortisol in our body and
cortisol turns on 90% of ourgenes into their adverse
position.
Okay.
So the way, very, very simply,genetics work, epigenetics work,
sorry is, think of our geneslike a light switch.
Okay, the light switch doesn'tchange.
(07:50):
It's always there, it alwayslooks the same, but we can turn
it on or off.
So this is the expression andthis is how we can regulate our
genes by looking oh wow, I havethis variant meaning.
Perhaps this happens to me whenI'm not getting the sleep I
need, right, for example, moreinflammation, which will then
(08:13):
create issues with dopamine, ourneurotransmitters all of these
different things come into play.
So we really want to knowexactly what these variants are
so that we can then switch themall into the proper position, so
that our body is being beingtaken care of and functioning as
it's designed to optimally.
(08:34):
So, with this, when we look atcortisol and, like I said, it
turns 90% of our genes intotheir adverse position, this is
where you know you could beeating the perfect diet, even
the perfect genetic diet, but ifyour stress is not being
supported, then you're notactually going to be thriving,
because that is that critical,as is sleep and, like I said,
(08:58):
inflammation that critical as issleep and, like I said,
inflammation.
So, when someone comes to workwith me, yes, we look at their
macros.
Right, your genetics show youwhat is ideal for you.
We look at some foodsensitivity, stuff like dairy,
perhaps gluten but it's reallythose three areas that we need
to tackle first, as we learn howto eat according to the
genetics, as well as exerciseaccording to your genetics.
(09:21):
That's why I love this approachbecause it does.
It just takes all of theguesswork out of it.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Could you explain to us also a little bit about the
DNA testing that you do and howit can help us to decode some of
our issues with respect to ourhealth?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yes.
So there's a lot of differenttests you can get, and there's a
lot of different tests you canget and there's a lot of
different reports that you canrun.
So the first thing you need todo is get your DNA sample.
I like to use a company calledDNA Alert.
It's a Canadian company thatwill ship anywhere in the world,
so that's super handy, and it'sa cheek swab, so it's super
(09:56):
simple something.
Some different testing labs youneed to do, like a saliva
sample, which sometimes can bechallenging for people to get
the as much as they need right.
So I like the cheek swab aspect.
And then you ship these swabsback and within a couple of
weeks you have your raw data.
(10:17):
So the raw data is then what Ineed to be able to run your
report.
So, like I said, there's lots ofdifferent reports out there,
but most of them will reportwhat's called single SNP
analysis.
So you're looking at individualgenes, and this can actually
really leave people panicked andalarmed because they don't
(10:38):
really know what to do about it.
Say, you have, you know, onetype of gene that will, if you
eat a certain amount ofsaturated fat, that all of a
sudden, your body will make youhungry for the rest of the day
and then store everything youeat as fat, okay, this gene is
called the FTO gene, and ifthere's a variant with this,
(10:59):
then yeah, okay, eat under 22grams of fat.
But what we need to do again islook at the whole picture,
right, because someone might bedoing that and thinking they're
set, but then they're notlooking at how that actually
interacts with their other genes.
So the report that I run, it'san integrative report, just like
(11:20):
.
I believe, as we know, we needto focus on the whole woman
holistically.
We need to look at the wholewoman's genetics holistically,
how they interact with eachother, how they influence with
each other, and it's only withthis type of reporting that
you'll get a personalized planthat will actually work, because
(11:43):
you might be chasing one genedown, thinking that this is what
you need to focus on, when it'sactually stress, that's turning
this gene on in the first place.
Does that make sense?
I try to simplify it, butsometimes it's difficult.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, it does.
It's super interesting thatit's so nuanced and when we
don't know what's triggering thereactions we have, it can be
very confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, absolutely.
But yeah, and that's where thatintegrative aspect comes in.
And so the report I run willlook at different sections, but
then it takes all of thegenetics that really like affect
that one area, and then I'llgive the report that says, hey,
(12:25):
this is how all of these areimpacting you and this is what
we can do about it.
So it's really fun.
It's really fun because a lotof women will come in like I'm
nervous to learn about this.
Or can you only tell me thegood stuff?
Like Women will come in likeI'm nervous to learn about this.
Or can you only tell me the goodstuff, like leave out the bad
stuff, right?
I'm like absolutely not,because this is so empowering.
When you see that you're pronegenetically for something, but
(12:51):
then this I tell you exactly howto support yourself in it, then
it is absolutely empowering andit's complete freedom making
and I love it for that.
So, yeah, any fear is wipedaway.
As soon as we do the, theconsult, after we get the report
back and I edit it and make it,you know this program for them
according to it, and they'relike oh my gosh, now I feel
confident about you know how totake care of me, which is so
(13:13):
important, especially in middleage, like come on, it's time for
us to seriously have you knowwhat we need, to equip ourselves
to actually take care ofourselves the way we deserve to
be.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely.
I mean, this is a sandwichgeneration of having older
children, sometimes youngerchildren at home as well, and
possibly even aging parents.
And while we're trying to focuson our own bodies, changing
this added stress can make iteven aging parents, and while
we're trying to focus on our ownbodies, changing this added
stress can make it even moredifficult.
(13:45):
Yeah, and there's just so manyfun little discoveries like more
gray hair and hormone shiftingand extra weight around our
midsection.
Yeah, aging it's not for thefaint of heart, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well, we can't escape it right.
This is, this will happen.
I'm not 50 yet.
I'm like deep in the thrones ofperimenopause and it's
interesting, actually I leftthis part out, but PCOS is what
really helped me dive intohealth investigation.
But it was actuallyperimenopause, because what I
(14:16):
was doing definitely wasn'tworking anymore.
That made me go a wait, asecond, I need to investigate
this more and that led me downthe road to really discover
genetics.
So, yes, I always.
You know there's so manydifferent, really wonderful
advice out there that's verysupportive to women during this
time in our lives.
But again, because we're all sounique, it's not a blanket
(14:39):
approach and sometimes what willhappen is again, what will
happen for one woman.
Say, she goes on some HRT andall of a sudden her symptoms are
getting worse.
Right, that's actually whathappened to me.
I was so excited to go onestrogen and I think it's a
wonderful support for so manywomen, but for me, when I
(15:03):
actually started taking estrogenestrogel I like boobs grew, I
was having crazy hot flashes, mymood was insanely, you know,
unstable, and I talked to mywonderful gynecologist I love
her so much and she was likeOkay, that's not for you.
I don't know why, but put it onthe shelf and keep
(15:26):
investigating.
And she didn't have the answersfor me, but she was just
wonderful in saying continue tosearch for yourself, like I
believe your body knows.
You're smart girl, you know,keep the investigation.
And when I discovered genetics,I was like, oh my goodness, my
body is a super producer ofestrogen and it also converts
(15:48):
most of my estrogen into theunhealthy form.
Okay, so this is, this is whatwas happening.
I was giving myself more and itwas actually causing more
issues.
Now, thankfully, this isn'twith everyone, right.
Like again, I really want tosay talk to your doctor.
Your gynecologist is yournumber one person for this.
(16:09):
But when you have your geneticsand when you can actually see
this is what's going on with mybody, estrogenically wise, right
, then you're able to take it toyour doctor and be more
informed, to be able to partnerwith them to go what's right for
me here.
And then again, often what wethink is estrogen is it's
(16:30):
actually cortisol, right, it'sactually the stress going on.
So giving yourself estrogen iswonderful.
I take progesterone and it'samazing.
I love it Again, not right foreveryone, but being informed and
be able to go okay, even thoughI'm supporting myself this way.
There's so many other areas weneed to look at and again I'm
(16:52):
going to say it the holisticapproach, the whole woman
approach.
So equipping yourself to beable to partner with your
physician, I think, is the mostempowering thing you can do.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I think that's so important.
I think we often feel like ourdoctors should have all the
answers, but, like you say,being informed about your own
body allows you to be in thedriver's seat, and then we can
listen to our bodies and see hownew approaches feel and get a
little more acquainted with whatour own body needs and how
(17:23):
things are working for us.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Absolutely.
Yeah, equip yourself with.
It all right, Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
What's your opinion on gut health?
How important is having ahealthy gut in regards to all of
these other symptoms that we'rehaving.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It is where we create so much of our serotonin.
Even so, when we look atinflammation, when we look at
neurotransmitter health as wellas stress, right.
So when we look at the wholepicture of it, all of this
impacts our gut health and thegenetic report also will show
(18:04):
like microbiome, like, are youprone to produce less or normal,
or, you know, is that actuallystable for you?
And it gives a really good ideaof how to support your gut
health.
One of the things that a lot ofpeople will do is instantly
they're like okay, probiotics,probiotics and I love pro and
(18:25):
prebiotics, obviously but theissue is, if your body is super
inflamed, what might happen isthat it will actually see these
beautiful probiotics that you'resupporting yourself with as
foreign and it will create moreinflammation.
Okay, so this is where justlooking, okay, this is working
for that person, I'm going tobuy this off the shelf, take it.
(18:47):
That doesn't necessarily, it'snot necessarily the best
approach, right?
So looking again at those fourareas the stress, the
inflammation, as well as sleepand then looking at there's
definite genetic markers we canlook at.
I know I've seen women who havecome where they're like I can't
have gluten.
It absolutely is soinflammatory for me.
(19:10):
But then when we take care ofthe other areas, then suddenly
their body calms down and theydon't have the same negative
results from eating gluten.
So it's really, it's abeautiful approach to be able to
look at that and approach guthealth with that level of wisdom
, instead of the guessing game.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I remember years ago I started to have some
reactions to red wine and myface would get a bit warm and my
eyelids would get a little bitswollen and so I went to an
allergy specialist and it wassuper interesting.
She said that I had asensitivity to sulfites.
Yeah, and at that time I was inreal estate and I was probably
(19:51):
eating out way more often than Ido now, and she kind of
explained that my body was likea cup and that when I was eating
a lot of sulfites orpreservatives in food that my
body would just kind of get tothe top and then possibly having
that glass of red wine justwould tip it over the edge.
So it wasn't so much about thewine, but it was really watching
the preservatives and all ofthe sulfites that were in my
(20:14):
food.
So I found that reallyfascinating.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Exactly, exactly, yeah, and I see a lot of people
like I have to cut out dairy?
Well, perhaps, but when we canlook at this like maybe you just
have to partially cut it out,you can still have it three
times a week, right?
So it's not a definite like allor none, but that's where, when
we look at inflammation inparticular and how it affects
(20:39):
the gut health, it's just soimpactful to be able to have the
resources and the knowledge.
Oh, this is actually what'sgoing on on a deeper level, and
just cutting out dairy isactually not going to cut it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And it changes throughout our life too.
Right Like I think it'sfascinating that friends I used
to know could drink three tofour large lattes every day and
then one day they just can't docaffeine at all.
It's crazy.
So we do have to realize thatit's a journey for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Absolutely yes.
And then when we look at thedifferent inflammation genes and
really support those, thenoften the things that we think,
like you said, allergies, thoseare anaphylactic, like that's a
big time response, but thesensitivities that we think we
have all of a sudden we don't.
And the thing I love about thegenetic aspect is when you do
(21:31):
like a food sensitivity test ora blood test.
Right, it's a snippet in time,it's only that one moment and
it's so impacted by what you'reeating, what you're drinking,
all of this stuff, whereas yourgenetics don't change.
So it's a one time test thatyou will have for the rest of
your life.
So if all of a sudden you'regetting, you know, some hives,
(21:55):
for example, like something'shappening, you can actually look
back and go oh okay, this mostlikely is being turned on right
now.
And now what is it that'sactually turning on this gene?
And then how do I supportmyself with that?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So, as we wrap up and this has been fascinating, by
the way can you give ourlisteners a few tips for
managing stress, sleep andinflammation on their own, if
they're not in a position to dothe DNA test?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, Number one.
What's coming to me iscompassion.
Okay, like you are a woman in aand maybe there's some men
listening, but I mostly speak towomen right?
So you're a woman in a veryfast paced, very stressed out
world right now.
So compassion is everything.
(22:42):
When we can actually drop intocompassion, I call it
honey-coated compassion, wherewe just, oh, feel that warmth
coating us in.
Hey, sweetheart, of courseyou're struggling right now,
right, Of course this is hardfor you right now.
Of course you're frustrated, ofcourse you're fill in the blank
, like whatever it's, whatever'scoming up that automatically
(23:04):
will start to calm the nervoussystem.
Okay, so the nervous system isreally what we want to work with
, obviously, when it comes tostress, and when you understand
your genetics, you can reallypinpoint what's going on.
But without it, nervous systemregulation is.
It's still available to you,maybe not as deep as if I got my
(23:25):
hands on your genetics right,but before I knew this and
working at the retreat center,this honey-coated compassion
aspect changed women's lives.
Calm your nervous system andthen from there you can get
curious.
What do I really need here?
If I love myself through thisand I have total compassion,
(23:46):
what is it that I truly need andthen, how do I support myself
in this?
I think those three mainquestions are golden when it
comes to self-care.
The other one I love is whatfeels most like love for me
right now, and this might be asupplement, right, this might be
a break.
The other day I was.
I have five children in my home.
(24:08):
We're a blended family fromages seven to 19.
It's very busy, and the otherday I was like, okay, sweetheart
, what do you need?
My nervous system was sounregulated and the answer was
you need to eat alone.
So I'm like, guys, I love you,but I took my food up to my room
(24:28):
and I I ate by myself and Igave myself permission, right?
So, what feels most like loveand what you need to give
yourself permission for?
And if you're not finding theanswers, if the things you're
doing aren't working for yourhealth, keep investigating and
that compassion part and thatcuriosity part, believe me,
(24:50):
it'll lead you to where you needto go in your investigations.
I truly believe that, becauseour bodies know, our souls know
what we need and we again justget to partner with it.
So calm down, right, take amoment and ask yeah.
So that's number one.
And take a moment and ask yeah,so that's number one.
(25:14):
A couple of things supplementwise that I would recommend for
people to do is if you'refinding that stress is ruling
the show, look into a supplement.
I know you have differentlisteners from different
countries so I'm not quite sureto speak to that, but, like in
the States, in Canada, herethere's certain supplements that
(25:35):
can really support it.
It's what we're looking for islactium, but it's a certain type
of lactium, so PureEncapsulations.
They have a beautiful productcalled Serenitin Plus, as well
as Douglas Laboratories.
Okay, so I don't work for thesecompanies.
I don't get paid by them, like.
These are just products that Ithink are beautiful.
(25:55):
When people do work with me.
I actually source this from adifferent company, but only
practitioners can.
But it's the same stuff and itis amazing.
So it actually supports yournervous system at that really
deep level, helps to lower thecortisol, helps to regulate it.
And then, if there's certainpeople, I have this gene where
(26:19):
your nervous system never feelssafe.
So it never gets to that like,oh okay, that stressor is over
and I'm okay now.
So people with this type ofgenetic variation always feel
heightened.
There's always a scary thingaround the corner.
So this product, lactiumactually will help to bring you
(26:39):
into parasympathetic the restand digest, and it has changed
my life.
I love it, love it, love it.
So you don't need to know yourgenetics to start taking that.
Absolutely recommend it.
It love it.
So you don't need to know yourgenetics to start taking that.
Absolutely recommend it.
So those are my two things thatI would really recommend.
And then, of course, sleep.
Sleep is so important.
I believe that we need toapproach it for two things.
(27:02):
One is that serenitin plus.
Get your hands on that, becausethat's going to lower the
cortisol while you're sleeping.
No brain, no nervous system isgoing to allow you to sleep
through the night if it thinksthat there's an enemy just
outside the door, right, so weneed to deal with that.
And then I love melatonin.
The research around melatoninlately is unbelievable.
(27:26):
It's blowing my mind.
So absolutely take melatoninalong with that, but take it at
830.
You want to start to regulatethose clock genes and your
circadian rhythm, and mostpeople take it too late.
So that's just a little tip.
Okay, if you are taking it, 830is a great time and that'll be
(27:46):
supportive of you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Do you think there are certain things that affect
the quality of our sleep, liketurning off screens and limiting
access to brain stimuli,possibly limiting alcohol,
having a cooler room, Like?
What is your opinion on that?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, yeah, sleep hygiene absolutely is so
critical, and so the things thatyou mentioned, you know, having
a cooler room, shutting off thescreens like an hour before,
all of those things, all of theabove, yes, but I do have to say
that if cortisol is running theshow, okay, and as we get older
(28:21):
, as estrogen goes down, ourstress hormones go up.
That's a natural thing.
That happens to everyone.
So most of the time, when we're, you know, perimenopausal,
menopausal, all of those sleephygiene things will be
supportive, but they're notactually going to fix the
problem.
So that's where I do believethe supplements come in as well,
(28:43):
as progesterone can be reallysupportive.
But again, chat with yourdoctor.
My expertise is supplements andlifestyle and food.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So, yeah, Thank you so much, chancey.
It is obvious that you areextremely passionate about this
work that you do, and I'm goingto put all of the information in
the show notes so that, if anyof our listeners are interested
in working with you, they canaccess your 30-minute discovery
call and possibly get some DNAtesting if that's something
(29:12):
they're interested in.
And one thing to note is thatChansey can deliver these tests
all over the world, so no matterwhere you live, you can have
access to this information foryourself.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Absolutely so.
Chanseydawncom that's mywebsite, and then on Instagram
I'm at genetic health coach, butgenetichealthcoach I wanted to
separate the words and yeah, sogenetic health coach on
Instagram.
Chancydawncom.
And you just anyone who'sinterested in chatting more,
(29:45):
book, just book a consult.
You can go onto my website anddo that.
Half an hour free consult andwe'll just get to know each
other and I love that.
It just gives me time to reallylearn about what's going on for
the individual woman and ifthis is the best next step for
her.
Yeah, so that's available toanyone.

Life is Delicious.
Hey, beautiful friends, it's Marni Martin and
welcome to this episode of Lifeis Delicious.
I'm a multi-passionateentrepreneur, best-selling
author, foodie and voiceoverartist, and I created the Life
is Delicious podcast with onesimple mission in mind to help
(00:22):
you add more flavor to your lifeand to help you write your own
recipe for a life that feedsyour soul.
I'm so glad you're here.
Firstly, I just want toacknowledge you for being here,
because there is so many placesthat your brain can go and
there's so much information outthere that I really appreciate
(00:44):
you spending a few minutes withme here.
And if this is your first timehere, welcome to the Life is
Delicious family.
So today we have a special guest.
We have certified life wellnessand female embodiment coach,
chansey Dawn.
She has an advancedcertification in somatic trauma
therapy and she is also aholistic practitioner
(01:06):
specializing in helping womenfind their optimal health and
well-being through genetic DNAmapping and her integrative
genetic health report.
Welcome to the show, chansey,thank you.
So as we get started, let'sjust paint a picture for our
listeners as to what was goingon in your world prior to this
(01:26):
work and what led you to thisreally important work and I was
just really attracted to itbecause I always really felt
(01:47):
like there was just.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It was so important to approach health with the
whole body approach right.
We didn't want to just look atwhat to eat, what not to eat.
You need to look at stress, youneed to look at sleep, you need
to look at the whole person infront of you.
So that's why I was reallyattracted to the holistic aspect
.
But what happened is that I didall my studies and I was
(02:08):
working with clients and Ibecame so confused.
I was confused about my ownhealth and nutrition and
everyone else's, because whatwas working for one person was
not working for the other, and Iwas diagnosed with PCOS at a
very young age.
So especially weight was alwayssomething that I was struggling
(02:29):
with.
Fertility, mood, stuff, like itwas a lifelong struggle and I'd
be helping other women and thesame things I was teaching them
to do.
I was getting really jealousbecause I'm like none of this is
working for me and I felt likea little bit of a fraud.
So I stepped back and I took abreak from the nutrition space
(02:50):
for a long while and worked at awork self employed, as a
somatic life coach and thenworked at a wellness retreat for
a while, and I just started toreally fall in love with the
idea of the bio individualityand how one thing does not fit
(03:11):
everyone.
Health cannot be a blanketapproach and it was through
these years of falling deeper inlove with this and really doing
my own research and learningmore about my own body and what
she needs that I actuallydiscovered genetics.
And when I was going throughschool this was way back
epigenetics just started to be athing, but there wasn't enough
(03:34):
science behind it to really beable to implement it in my
practice, and about a year agoit was reintroduced to me.
I was like shining light.
This is it, this is all I wantto do.
Quit everything else and forabout a year now this is all I'm
doing, because you can't getmore personalized and individual
than this approach.
And now there's no confusionLike that's all wiped away and
(03:56):
it's just so clear.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, can we just step back a little bit for the
listeners, and can you tell uswhat PCOS is?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, of course, pcos just stands for polycystic
ovarian syndrome.
It's a very common thing that alot of women struggle with and
deal with, and there's a lot ofdifferent symptoms that can go
along with it.
For me, it was mainly weight,you know struggles and fertility
, and then hair a lot of hair onmy face and everywhere Got it.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That must have been really frustrating.
Yeah, wow.
So when we spoke earlier, Iasked you what one of the most
common concerns that people cometo you with, and I think you
said weight loss, and of course,at this time of year, it's on
everybody's minds.
But you also said that weightloss often isn't just about diet
(04:48):
, that stress and inflammationand sleep also play a huge role.
Let's talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Absolutely yes.
So I have like a love-haterelationship with weight loss.
I don't like the diet industry.
I created a whole programaround breaking free from diet
culture and learning how to loveyour body and really come home
to her.
So I want to make that superclear that I think the messaging
(05:17):
that's given to women is reallysad and it's really damaging.
And I love it because when welearn how to really nourish our
body properly, when we learn howto take care of our bodies, our
bodies settle into what'scalled the weight set point.
And this is where you'rehealthy, right, this is where
(05:38):
you're not obsessed witheverything you're putting in
your mouth, you have a greatrelationship with food, you feel
confident, you have energy,you're sleeping well and, again,
it's that holistic approach.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So I just really want to mention that, okay, because
I'm very passionate aboutbreaking free from diet culture,
okay, and yeah, I think it's soimportant Of course, and the
reason I thought thisconversation was such an
important one to have is that Iam a woman over 50, as are most
of my friends and it seems nowthat all of us are feeling like
(06:13):
our bodies are just doing someweird things and that it seems
that there's just no one sizefits all.
We're all going throughsomething different and yet
similar.
It's just really odd.
So there's so muchmisinformation out there, so
let's talk a little bit aboutthat.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Exactly.
And the approach is the onlyapproach that works, I believe
is knowing you and knowing whatyou need at that deep genetic
level.
Some people stumble upon thisright Like this is why there's
some things that work forsomeone, they swear by it and
then the other person it's likethat's actually doing the
(06:47):
opposite.
Sometimes, you know, we stumbleupon what works for our
genetics.
But when we can actuallyunderstand and get the test done
and then understand and havethat wisdom behind it, then we
can approach it again for thewhole body approach, the whole
woman approach.
So again, it's not just let'scut some carbs and eat more
(07:10):
protein.
It just is not.
It doesn't work that way.
We need to first look at stress,okay, and inflammation and
sleep, these three things.
If we don't actually supportourselves at the genetic level
with this, then these threethings, if we don't actually
support ourselves at the geneticlevel with this, then these
three things will actually undoany work you're trying to do.
(07:30):
So stress obviously createscortisol in our body and
cortisol turns on 90% of ourgenes into their adverse
position.
Okay.
So the way, very, very simply,genetics work, epigenetics work,
sorry is, think of our geneslike a light switch.
Okay, the light switch doesn'tchange.
(07:50):
It's always there, it alwayslooks the same, but we can turn
it on or off.
So this is the expression andthis is how we can regulate our
genes by looking oh wow, I havethis variant meaning.
Perhaps this happens to me whenI'm not getting the sleep I
need, right, for example, moreinflammation, which will then
(08:13):
create issues with dopamine, ourneurotransmitters all of these
different things come into play.
So we really want to knowexactly what these variants are
so that we can then switch themall into the proper position, so
that our body is being beingtaken care of and functioning as
it's designed to optimally.
(08:34):
So, with this, when we look atcortisol and, like I said, it
turns 90% of our genes intotheir adverse position, this is
where you know you could beeating the perfect diet, even
the perfect genetic diet, but ifyour stress is not being
supported, then you're notactually going to be thriving,
because that is that critical,as is sleep and, like I said,
(08:58):
inflammation that critical as issleep and, like I said,
inflammation.
So, when someone comes to workwith me, yes, we look at their
macros.
Right, your genetics show youwhat is ideal for you.
We look at some foodsensitivity, stuff like dairy,
perhaps gluten but it's reallythose three areas that we need
to tackle first, as we learn howto eat according to the
genetics, as well as exerciseaccording to your genetics.
(09:21):
That's why I love this approachbecause it does.
It just takes all of theguesswork out of it.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Could you explain to us also a little bit about the
DNA testing that you do and howit can help us to decode some of
our issues with respect to ourhealth?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yes.
So there's a lot of differenttests you can get, and there's a
lot of different tests you canget and there's a lot of
different reports that you canrun.
So the first thing you need todo is get your DNA sample.
I like to use a company calledDNA Alert.
It's a Canadian company thatwill ship anywhere in the world,
so that's super handy, and it'sa cheek swab, so it's super
(09:56):
simple something.
Some different testing labs youneed to do, like a saliva
sample, which sometimes can bechallenging for people to get
the as much as they need right.
So I like the cheek swab aspect.
And then you ship these swabsback and within a couple of
weeks you have your raw data.
(10:17):
So the raw data is then what Ineed to be able to run your
report.
So, like I said, there's lots ofdifferent reports out there,
but most of them will reportwhat's called single SNP
analysis.
So you're looking at individualgenes, and this can actually
really leave people panicked andalarmed because they don't
(10:38):
really know what to do about it.
Say, you have, you know, onetype of gene that will, if you
eat a certain amount ofsaturated fat, that all of a
sudden, your body will make youhungry for the rest of the day
and then store everything youeat as fat, okay, this gene is
called the FTO gene, and ifthere's a variant with this,
(10:59):
then yeah, okay, eat under 22grams of fat.
But what we need to do again islook at the whole picture,
right, because someone might bedoing that and thinking they're
set, but then they're notlooking at how that actually
interacts with their other genes.
So the report that I run, it'san integrative report, just like
(11:20):
.
I believe, as we know, we needto focus on the whole woman
holistically.
We need to look at the wholewoman's genetics holistically,
how they interact with eachother, how they influence with
each other, and it's only withthis type of reporting that
you'll get a personalized planthat will actually work, because
(11:43):
you might be chasing one genedown, thinking that this is what
you need to focus on, when it'sactually stress, that's turning
this gene on in the first place.
Does that make sense?
I try to simplify it, butsometimes it's difficult.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, it does.
It's super interesting thatit's so nuanced and when we
don't know what's triggering thereactions we have, it can be
very confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, absolutely.
But yeah, and that's where thatintegrative aspect comes in.
And so the report I run willlook at different sections, but
then it takes all of thegenetics that really like affect
that one area, and then I'llgive the report that says, hey,
(12:25):
this is how all of these areimpacting you and this is what
we can do about it.
So it's really fun.
It's really fun because a lotof women will come in like I'm
nervous to learn about this.
Or can you only tell me thegood stuff?
Like Women will come in likeI'm nervous to learn about this.
Or can you only tell me the goodstuff, like leave out the bad
stuff, right?
I'm like absolutely not,because this is so empowering.
When you see that you're pronegenetically for something, but
(12:51):
then this I tell you exactly howto support yourself in it, then
it is absolutely empowering andit's complete freedom making
and I love it for that.
So, yeah, any fear is wipedaway.
As soon as we do the, theconsult, after we get the report
back and I edit it and make it,you know this program for them
according to it, and they'relike oh my gosh, now I feel
confident about you know how totake care of me, which is so
(13:13):
important, especially in middleage, like come on, it's time for
us to seriously have you knowwhat we need, to equip ourselves
to actually take care ofourselves the way we deserve to
be.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Absolutely.
I mean, this is a sandwichgeneration of having older
children, sometimes youngerchildren at home as well, and
possibly even aging parents.
And while we're trying to focuson our own bodies, changing
this added stress can make iteven aging parents, and while
we're trying to focus on our ownbodies, changing this added
stress can make it even moredifficult.
(13:45):
Yeah, and there's just so manyfun little discoveries like more
gray hair and hormone shiftingand extra weight around our
midsection.
Yeah, aging it's not for thefaint of heart, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well, we can't escape it right.
This is, this will happen.
I'm not 50 yet.
I'm like deep in the thrones ofperimenopause and it's
interesting, actually I leftthis part out, but PCOS is what
really helped me dive intohealth investigation.
But it was actuallyperimenopause, because what I
(14:16):
was doing definitely wasn'tworking anymore.
That made me go a wait, asecond, I need to investigate
this more and that led me downthe road to really discover
genetics.
So, yes, I always.
You know there's so manydifferent, really wonderful
advice out there that's verysupportive to women during this
time in our lives.
But again, because we're all sounique, it's not a blanket
(14:39):
approach and sometimes what willhappen is again, what will
happen for one woman.
Say, she goes on some HRT andall of a sudden her symptoms are
getting worse.
Right, that's actually whathappened to me.
I was so excited to go onestrogen and I think it's a
wonderful support for so manywomen, but for me, when I
(15:03):
actually started taking estrogenestrogel I like boobs grew, I
was having crazy hot flashes, mymood was insanely, you know,
unstable, and I talked to mywonderful gynecologist I love
her so much and she was likeOkay, that's not for you.
I don't know why, but put it onthe shelf and keep
(15:26):
investigating.
And she didn't have the answersfor me, but she was just
wonderful in saying continue tosearch for yourself, like I
believe your body knows.
You're smart girl, you know,keep the investigation.
And when I discovered genetics,I was like, oh my goodness, my
body is a super producer ofestrogen and it also converts
(15:48):
most of my estrogen into theunhealthy form.
Okay, so this is, this is whatwas happening.
I was giving myself more and itwas actually causing more
issues.
Now, thankfully, this isn'twith everyone, right.
Like again, I really want tosay talk to your doctor.
Your gynecologist is yournumber one person for this.
(16:09):
But when you have your geneticsand when you can actually see
this is what's going on with mybody, estrogenically wise, right
, then you're able to take it toyour doctor and be more
informed, to be able to partnerwith them to go what's right for
me here.
And then again, often what wethink is estrogen is it's
(16:30):
actually cortisol, right, it'sactually the stress going on.
So giving yourself estrogen iswonderful.
I take progesterone and it'samazing.
I love it Again, not right foreveryone, but being informed and
be able to go okay, even thoughI'm supporting myself this way.
There's so many other areas weneed to look at and again I'm
(16:52):
going to say it the holisticapproach, the whole woman
approach.
So equipping yourself to beable to partner with your
physician, I think, is the mostempowering thing you can do.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I think that's so important.
I think we often feel like ourdoctors should have all the
answers, but, like you say,being informed about your own
body allows you to be in thedriver's seat, and then we can
listen to our bodies and see hownew approaches feel and get a
little more acquainted with whatour own body needs and how
(17:23):
things are working for us.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Absolutely.
Yeah, equip yourself with.
It all right, Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
What's your opinion on gut health?
How important is having ahealthy gut in regards to all of
these other symptoms that we'rehaving.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It is where we create so much of our serotonin.
Even so, when we look atinflammation, when we look at
neurotransmitter health as wellas stress, right.
So when we look at the wholepicture of it, all of this
impacts our gut health and thegenetic report also will show
(18:04):
like microbiome, like, are youprone to produce less or normal,
or, you know, is that actuallystable for you?
And it gives a really good ideaof how to support your gut
health.
One of the things that a lot ofpeople will do is instantly
they're like okay, probiotics,probiotics and I love pro and
(18:25):
prebiotics, obviously but theissue is, if your body is super
inflamed, what might happen isthat it will actually see these
beautiful probiotics that you'resupporting yourself with as
foreign and it will create moreinflammation.
Okay, so this is where justlooking, okay, this is working
for that person, I'm going tobuy this off the shelf, take it.
(18:47):
That doesn't necessarily, it'snot necessarily the best
approach, right?
So looking again at those fourareas the stress, the
inflammation, as well as sleepand then looking at there's
definite genetic markers we canlook at.
I know I've seen women who havecome where they're like I can't
have gluten.
It absolutely is soinflammatory for me.
(19:10):
But then when we take care ofthe other areas, then suddenly
their body calms down and theydon't have the same negative
results from eating gluten.
So it's really, it's abeautiful approach to be able to
look at that and approach guthealth with that level of wisdom
, instead of the guessing game.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I remember years ago I started to have some
reactions to red wine and myface would get a bit warm and my
eyelids would get a little bitswollen and so I went to an
allergy specialist and it wassuper interesting.
She said that I had asensitivity to sulfites.
Yeah, and at that time I was inreal estate and I was probably
(19:51):
eating out way more often than Ido now, and she kind of
explained that my body was likea cup and that when I was eating
a lot of sulfites orpreservatives in food that my
body would just kind of get tothe top and then possibly having
that glass of red wine justwould tip it over the edge.
So it wasn't so much about thewine, but it was really watching
the preservatives and all ofthe sulfites that were in my
(20:14):
food.
So I found that reallyfascinating.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Exactly, exactly, yeah, and I see a lot of people
like I have to cut out dairy?
Well, perhaps, but when we canlook at this like maybe you just
have to partially cut it out,you can still have it three
times a week, right?
So it's not a definite like allor none, but that's where, when
we look at inflammation inparticular and how it affects
(20:39):
the gut health, it's just soimpactful to be able to have the
resources and the knowledge.
Oh, this is actually what'sgoing on on a deeper level, and
just cutting out dairy isactually not going to cut it.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And it changes throughout our life too.
Right Like I think it'sfascinating that friends I used
to know could drink three tofour large lattes every day and
then one day they just can't docaffeine at all.
It's crazy.
So we do have to realize thatit's a journey for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Absolutely yes.
And then when we look at thedifferent inflammation genes and
really support those, thenoften the things that we think,
like you said, allergies, thoseare anaphylactic, like that's a
big time response, but thesensitivities that we think we
have all of a sudden we don't.
And the thing I love about thegenetic aspect is when you do
(21:31):
like a food sensitivity test ora blood test.
Right, it's a snippet in time,it's only that one moment and
it's so impacted by what you'reeating, what you're drinking,
all of this stuff, whereas yourgenetics don't change.
So it's a one time test thatyou will have for the rest of
your life.
So if all of a sudden you'regetting, you know, some hives,
(21:55):
for example, like something'shappening, you can actually look
back and go oh okay, this mostlikely is being turned on right
now.
And now what is it that'sactually turning on this gene?
And then how do I supportmyself with that?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
So, as we wrap up and this has been fascinating, by
the way can you give ourlisteners a few tips for
managing stress, sleep andinflammation on their own, if
they're not in a position to dothe DNA test?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, Number one.
What's coming to me iscompassion.
Okay, like you are a woman in aand maybe there's some men
listening, but I mostly speak towomen right?
So you're a woman in a veryfast paced, very stressed out
world right now.
So compassion is everything.
(22:42):
When we can actually drop intocompassion, I call it
honey-coated compassion, wherewe just, oh, feel that warmth
coating us in.
Hey, sweetheart, of courseyou're struggling right now,
right, Of course this is hardfor you right now.
Of course you're frustrated, ofcourse you're fill in the blank
, like whatever it's, whatever'scoming up that automatically
(23:04):
will start to calm the nervoussystem.
Okay, so the nervous system isreally what we want to work with
, obviously, when it comes tostress, and when you understand
your genetics, you can reallypinpoint what's going on.
But without it, nervous systemregulation is.
It's still available to you,maybe not as deep as if I got my
(23:25):
hands on your genetics right,but before I knew this and
working at the retreat center,this honey-coated compassion
aspect changed women's lives.
Calm your nervous system andthen from there you can get
curious.
What do I really need here?
If I love myself through thisand I have total compassion,
(23:46):
what is it that I truly need andthen, how do I support myself
in this?
I think those three mainquestions are golden when it
comes to self-care.
The other one I love is whatfeels most like love for me
right now, and this might be asupplement, right, this might be
a break.
The other day I was.
I have five children in my home.
(24:08):
We're a blended family fromages seven to 19.
It's very busy, and the otherday I was like, okay, sweetheart
, what do you need?
My nervous system was sounregulated and the answer was
you need to eat alone.
So I'm like, guys, I love you,but I took my food up to my room
(24:28):
and I I ate by myself and Igave myself permission, right?
So, what feels most like loveand what you need to give
yourself permission for?
And if you're not finding theanswers, if the things you're
doing aren't working for yourhealth, keep investigating and
that compassion part and thatcuriosity part, believe me,
(24:50):
it'll lead you to where you needto go in your investigations.
I truly believe that, becauseour bodies know, our souls know
what we need and we again justget to partner with it.
So calm down, right, take amoment and ask yeah.
So that's number one.
And take a moment and ask yeah,so that's number one.
(25:14):
A couple of things supplementwise that I would recommend for
people to do is if you'refinding that stress is ruling
the show, look into a supplement.
I know you have differentlisteners from different
countries so I'm not quite sureto speak to that, but, like in
the States, in Canada, herethere's certain supplements that
(25:35):
can really support it.
It's what we're looking for islactium, but it's a certain type
of lactium, so PureEncapsulations.
They have a beautiful productcalled Serenitin Plus, as well
as Douglas Laboratories.
Okay, so I don't work for thesecompanies.
I don't get paid by them, like.
These are just products that Ithink are beautiful.
(25:55):
When people do work with me.
I actually source this from adifferent company, but only
practitioners can.
But it's the same stuff and itis amazing.
So it actually supports yournervous system at that really
deep level, helps to lower thecortisol, helps to regulate it.
And then, if there's certainpeople, I have this gene where
(26:19):
your nervous system never feelssafe.
So it never gets to that like,oh okay, that stressor is over
and I'm okay now.
So people with this type ofgenetic variation always feel
heightened.
There's always a scary thingaround the corner.
So this product, lactiumactually will help to bring you
(26:39):
into parasympathetic the restand digest, and it has changed
my life.
I love it, love it, love it.
So you don't need to know yourgenetics to start taking that.
Absolutely recommend it.
It love it.
So you don't need to know yourgenetics to start taking that.
Absolutely recommend it.
So those are my two things thatI would really recommend.
And then, of course, sleep.
Sleep is so important.
I believe that we need toapproach it for two things.
(27:02):
One is that serenitin plus.
Get your hands on that, becausethat's going to lower the
cortisol while you're sleeping.
No brain, no nervous system isgoing to allow you to sleep
through the night if it thinksthat there's an enemy just
outside the door, right, so weneed to deal with that.
And then I love melatonin.
The research around melatoninlately is unbelievable.
(27:26):
It's blowing my mind.
So absolutely take melatoninalong with that, but take it at
830.
You want to start to regulatethose clock genes and your
circadian rhythm, and mostpeople take it too late.
So that's just a little tip.
Okay, if you are taking it, 830is a great time and that'll be
(27:46):
supportive of you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Do you think there are certain things that affect
the quality of our sleep, liketurning off screens and limiting
access to brain stimuli,possibly limiting alcohol,
having a cooler room, Like?
What is your opinion on that?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, yeah, sleep hygiene absolutely is so
critical, and so the things thatyou mentioned, you know, having
a cooler room, shutting off thescreens like an hour before,
all of those things, all of theabove, yes, but I do have to say
that if cortisol is running theshow, okay, and as we get older
(28:21):
, as estrogen goes down, ourstress hormones go up.
That's a natural thing.
That happens to everyone.
So most of the time, when we're, you know, perimenopausal,
menopausal, all of those sleephygiene things will be
supportive, but they're notactually going to fix the
problem.
So that's where I do believethe supplements come in as well,
(28:43):
as progesterone can be reallysupportive.
But again, chat with yourdoctor.
My expertise is supplements andlifestyle and food.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
So, yeah, Thank you so much, chancey.
It is obvious that you areextremely passionate about this
work that you do, and I'm goingto put all of the information in
the show notes so that, if anyof our listeners are interested
in working with you, they canaccess your 30-minute discovery
call and possibly get some DNAtesting if that's something
(29:12):
they're interested in.
And one thing to note is thatChansey can deliver these tests
all over the world, so no matterwhere you live, you can have
access to this information foryourself.
Speaker 2 (29:24):

I'm at genetic health coach, butgenetichealthcoach I wanted to
separate the words and yeah, sogenetic health coach on
Instagram.
