The Menopause Mastery Show | DNA Is Not Destiny: The Future of Personalized Menopause Care | Episode 289 with Tracy Wood

🌿Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show!

👉 What if the symptoms you've been told are "just part of getting older" actually have a deeper explanation?

In this episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Tracy Woods, CEO of The DNA Company, to explore how genetics can transform the way we approach menopause, hormone therapy, metabolism, inflammation, brain health, and longevity.

Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all protocols, Tracy explains why personalized medicine begins with understanding your unique genetic blueprint. Together, they discuss why hormone replacement therapy isn't the complete answer for every woman, how genetics influence your body's response to stress, nutrition, and medications, and why functional health is moving toward truly individualized care.

Dr. Betty and Tracy also tackle common misconceptions surrounding DNA testing, discuss where the science is headed, and explain how genetic insights can help women make more informed decisions throughout perimenopause and beyond.

In this episode you'll learn:

* Why your DNA is a roadmap—not your destiny

* How genetics affect hormone metabolism

* Why personalized medicine is replacing one-size-fits-all healthcare

* The connection between genes, inflammation, metabolism, and brain health

* What DNA testing can (and cannot) tell you

* How genetics can improve nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle decisions

* The future of functional medicine and longevity

If you're ready to move beyond guesswork and understand why your body responds differently than everyone else's, this conversation is packed with practical insights. 🌱
