Genetic testing should actually empower the individual versus
scare them. Once you dedicate time to learn how to interpret
StrateGene®, determine the direction that you want to go with it -
use it as a map. StrateGene® isn't an answer; it's a roadmap. At
Seeking Health, we don't enable you - we provide you with
information that allows you to determine where you want to focus on
your health, how you want to do it, and then what tools you need in
order to do it. You have to put the work into it but if you know
your genetic variations and that certain environmental influences
really affect your genetic expression either for the worse or for
the better, that's extremely empowering. - Dr. Ben
Lynch

Seeking Health's StrateGene®
Genetic testing can be powerful
when it’s used properly. Genetic testing shouldn’t be considered an
easy, quick-fix, and it may not reveal anything you need to fix at
all, but rather simply understand. These genetic reports which
feature fast and easy solutions are ineffective and potentially
dangerous.
Your body does not function that quickly and neither do your
genes. If you’re ready to learn how to properly apply genetic
testing into your life, then you’re ready for StrateGene®. The
StrateGene® Genetic Report, StrateGene® Planners and the
StrateGene® Poster are a complete set which, when used in
combination with your Dirty Genes Series, will propel you towards a
deeper understanding of how your body works and how to best support
it.

for him and his family.
How Dr. Ben addressed the genetic results after the fear went
away by focusing on living a healthier lifestyle.
Why Josh felt that the results he received from 23andMe really
didn't provide him with an actionable set of guidelines to improve
his health freedom.
Breaking down what genetic testing is, how it is done, and the efficacy
of brands like 23andMe compared to his product, StrateGene®.
Why it's key to do genetic testing with saliva compared to
blood which can be problematic.
The importance of providing a quality DNA test when you submit your
kit.
Why Dr. Ben believes that 23andMe is doing a disservice to
customers by reporting genes such as the BRCA and giving false hope or
fear to individuals because their method is not thorough
testing.
What you can expect from your StrateGene® genetic testing
results.
Why there are so many factors beyond just the BRCA gene
varients that impact a woman's chances of developing breast cancer.
The fear and danger that is being caused by radical
mastectomies when a woman's genetic testing shows positive BRCA
genes being present.
Why environment, immune system, and
lifestyle are just some of the other areas we need to consider to
guess the chances of disease.
The sad trend we're seeing in sick-care in the USA as we follow
the money and the influence with organizations like Pfizer, Purdue
Pharma, and the FDA with CV19.

you to be 100% responsible for doing the work for your health
freedom goals.
Why sometimes too much exercise can negatively impact
our body and turn on the "dirty genes" like it has for Josh.
The fact that exercising too much can lead to histamine being
created in the body.
How caffeine can impact our genes such as histamine, adenosine, and if you have
exercise-induced asthma.
The dangers of oversimplifying things when it comes to our
health freedom and understanding how different factors, like
coffee, specifically impact our
body.
[39:00] Understanding Histamine for Overall Wellness
Exploring what histamine is, what histamine intolerance is, and
the function of histamine in our bodies.
Why it isn't good to have our histamine levels too low or too
high for our physical, mental, and emotional health freedom.
The fact that histamine intolerance is so misdiagnosed and
people struggle for decades because of it.
How histamine intolerance makes people especially sensitive to
things like Wi-Fi, perfume and they also tend to have high levels
of irritability, diarrhea, bloody noses, ringing in your ears, and
chronic sinus issues.
Breaking down Seeking Health's range of Histamine Intolerance
Supplements, how they help with sinusitis, and how to use them as
part of your wellness toolbox.
Why a person's microbiome in their nose is not
diverse enough if they have mold and fungus in their nose, have
chronic sinusitis, and chronic running noses.

probiotic in their nose within seconds.

your overall wellbeing.

How AI devices like Oculus for virtual reality scenarios from
baseball games to recitals to dance clubs to bars are taking away
from what it means to live life.
What steps we can take to come back home to ourselves and be
one with nature again.
The evil of Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse and Oculus devices as
they are an attack on humanity.
How lockdowns and quarantines have
led to the explosion of video game addiction.
The unnatural deselection we are witnessing in our world today
and what it means for future generations.
How AI is spiking our dopamine levels to the point
where we're having less human connection and even intercourse.
Why we have to stay ahead of where technology is going and go back to
simple pleasures like board games, nature, and spending real time
with our loved ones
"I always say that 'health' is a four-letter word spelled
'w-o-r-k' and you have to be able to understand what empowers your
genes to work efficiently and what makes your genes work harder.
Exercise is phenomenal but if you work too hard than your genes are
getting too dirty and they can't handle it and they start calling
on other genes to support it and then they also get overworked and
overburdened and you start breaking down." - Dr. Ben
Lynch
Dangers of Undiagnosed Histamine Intolerence
"Histamine testing is inherently not very useful and that is why
histamine tolerance is so undiagnosed. People literally struggle
for decades; on average it goes undiagnosed for a minimum of 6
years. So people are struggling with all of these
histamine-associated issues like sensitivity to Wi-Fi or perfumes
and excessive irritability, difficulties falling asleep, headaches,
exercise-induced asthma, eczema, psoriasis, diarrhea, chronic sinus
issues, bloody noses, or ringing in your ears." - Dr. Ben
Lynch
Having a 'Nature First' Mindset
"Humans need to always remember 'Nature first.' Anytime that you
get stuck somewhere in your health, you need to come right back to
the basics. Take off your shoes and socks and walk in nature. Walk
on a forest floor, not grass that has been sprayed with chemicals.
Go out in nature on a trail or step into the ocean or a lake. Just
immerse yourself in Mother Nature and breathe that air; hopefully
in a clean environment because that's where we came from, that's
where we're going to end up again, and that's where we should be
each day." - Dr. Ben Lynch
