Dr. J Dunn – My Happy Genes: Understanding Genetic Code Impacts on Our Physical and Mental Health

By thehealingplacepodcast | March 1, 2024

Here is the link I promised to share in the mid-episode pause: https://teriwellbrock.com/request-a-quote/

I learned so very much during this fascinating conversation with the brilliant Dr. J Dunn, Natural Health Practitioner, CEO and founder of My Happy Genes. Please join us as we discuss:

Dr. J’s personal story of discovering the impact her genetic make-up was having on her lifelong battle with depression
her brilliant insights on various genes and their impact on our physical and mental health
the various testing and reports available through her My Happy Genes programs
and so much more!

Bio:

With a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences, along with training in Functional Medicine, Dr. J Dunn has been practicing Natural Medicine for over thirty years. She has dedicated her life to helping her patients, as well as herself and family, to achieve optimal health.

In fact, Dr. Dunn began her journey to becoming a Natural Health Practitioner in search of a way to heal herself from debilitating chronic fatigue and depression. So, she knows first-hand both the physical and emotional pain of suffering without answers and being blamed by those she desperately wanted to help her heal.

People have been coming to Dr. Dunn from all over the world for help with conditions and symptoms that have defied both traditional and naturopathic diagnosis and treatment. In fact, by 2013 her practice was so successful that she had a waiting list of over a year for new patients!

She began to realize she needed to find a way to help far more people than she could treat personally. So, for the last 8 years, she shifted her focus to teaching and researching. Because, despite her significant success in helping people individually, she knew there still had to be a simpler way to get to the root cause of the conditions and symptoms that plague millions, yet for which there is minimal to no relief available.

As Dr. Dunn shares: “Through this quest, I discovered the key to unlocking the secrets to optimal emotional and physical wellbeing – **a way to easily identify the root cause of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and addiction.** **That key is your genetic code.**”

Over the last 10 years, Dr Dunn and her team have been mapping the genes specifically related to brain chemistry to help her patients and teach other Healthcare Professionals to help theirs. They have identified the genetic patterns that contribute to conditions associated with mental and emotional health. The **MyHappyGenes® Dynamic Algorithm** is able to target and analyze over 570 specific genes.

Antonia – What Happens When Fear Meets Love?

By thehealingplacepodcast | November 15, 2023

I so much enjoyed this enlightening conversation with Antonia, Registered Psychotherapist, Plant Medicine Integration Counselor, Transmuter/Facilitator, Ayurvedic Counselor, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Author, Retreat Facilitator, and is now in training for Plant Medicine Facilitation. Please join us as we discuss:

the inspiration behind her book, Dismantling The 3rd Dimension – Transforming our Trauma on the Road from Tribe to Collective
her philosophies on generational and ancestral trauma
her role as counselor
the implications of Ayurvedic approaches to healing
and so much more!

Bio:

Awakening the Alchemy of Awareness

Antonia’s accelerated transformation started in 2006 when she discovered her capacity to dissolve lifetimes of pain in her own body through a harrowing journey inward. Raising the vibration by inviting a deep seeing of the truth of pain, she now assists clients in enabling their process of dissolution of ancient trauma stories.

Antonia spent the early decades building up knowledge, intellect, data, and credibility. Now she is learning to unlearn. To expand awareness, she disassembles the infrastructure of the mind and surrenders it to the heart. As an integrative therapist, she blends Western modalities of therapeutic relationship with the metaphysical transmutation of the trauma of separation. Antonia helps people see the pain as a signal and opportunity for expansion; to bring awareness to pain and integrate our hidden suffering into the greater whole. She takes people into deeper levels of seeing and knowing through her one-on-one healing sessions, online modules, workshops, and retreats.

Her goal is to assist healers, seekers, and psychonauts get ready for a wave of healing as our collective, ancient traumas surface more rapidly and readily on our path to the next reality. This is her passion. This is her destiny. This is her collective.

Madeline Popelka – A Trauma Survivor’s Insights on How You’re Going to Be Okay

By thehealingplacepodcast | September 29, 2023

I was blessed to have engaged in a beautiful conversation with Madeline Popelka, writer, trauma survivor, and mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocate. Please join us as we discuss:

Madeline’s personal story of PTSD and triumph
her insights on trauma recovery
the inspiration behind her Instagram page @healingfromptsd
the release of her book You’re Going to Be Okay: 16 Lessons on Healing After Trauma
and so much more!

Bio:

I’m Madeline, a writer, trauma survivor, and mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocate.

Born and raised in the Bay Area, I grew up in an Asian American household where mental health was never discussed. As a daughter of a refugee, intergenerational trauma runs through my family, and I struggled with my mental health for my entire life. I thought that I was broken and damaged beyond repair, and I suffered in isolation. And when I started to experience PTSD symptoms in my late twenties, I didn’t know the first step in getting help.

Nobody taught me how to heal, and I knew I wasn’t alone. As I began learning life lessons along my healing journey, I felt an urge to share my insights so other sufferers like myself wouldn’t feel so isolated. In February 2020, I created a space for other trauma survivors, @HealingFromPTSD, which quickly became the largest trauma healing community on Instagram.

Through healing, I’ve discovered and reconnected with parts of myself, and I’ve cultivated a sense of internal peace and freedom that I’d never experienced before. I’m on a mission to help others do the same.

My first book, You’re Going to Be Okay, was released in September 2022 (order it here!), and I have a newsletter, Lost & Found, about healing, self-discovery, and more. Sign up here.
