The Next Level of Health: Your Personalized Genetic Blueprint

Trish Mangold is a holistic health practitioner and the brilliant mind behind The Mangold Method, utilizing personalized testing. Trish's journey into holistic health began with a fascinating realization. While studying environmental optimization at UCLA—focusing on how to improve our workplaces and homes—she recognized a deeper truth. We'll always be exposed to environmental factors and have genetic predispositions. Instead of constantly fearing our external environment, Trish pivoted to optimizing our "internal terrain"—our health and vitality at the cellular level.

"Why don't we look at optimizing our internal environment so that we don't have to be fearful of our external environment?" she asks, explaining her passion for personalized testing and building resilience from within.

After UCLA, Trish earned her certification in holistic health at the Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy. She quickly realized that the world of biohacking can be confusing, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to diet, exercise, or health modalities. Her philosophy centers on looking at the whole mind and body in context.

The New Frontier: Personalized Testing

Trish emphasizes that modern science has made personalized testing more affordable and accessible than ever. This is a game-changer because it empowers us to understand our bodies at the cellular level and take control of our health.

"We have way more power than we've been led to believe when it comes to how well we feel, think, and age," Trish asserts. She sees herself not as a healer, but as "a guide on your healing journey."

We often receive conflicting information about health, and many conventional medical professionals don't have extensive training in nutrition. Dr. Casey Means, for instance, revealed she didn't take a single nutrition class in med school—a startling fact that underscores the need for us to proactively understand our own health.

Standard vs. Personalized Testing: Why Bio-Individuality Matters

So, what exactly is personalized testing, and how does it differ from a typical physical?

Standard lab tests compare you to a "normal" person for your age group, often ignoring your unique bio-individuality. This is problematic when over 60% of Americans are on at least one lifestyle medication, suggesting that "normal" has become synonymous with managing lifestyle-related conditions.

"Genetics are not our fate," Trish explains, challenging the outdated belief that we're simply waiting for predisposed conditions to emerge. Personalized (or functional) medicine looks at optimization, not just baseline markers. It considers factors like your hormonal profile, which standard labs often overlook. This approach helps in early detection of imbalances, making prevention much easier.

Diving into Personalized Testing: Insights for Actionable Health

Trish introduces three key types of personalized testing that can offer invaluable insights:

1. Snip Nutrigenomics : Your Genetic Blueprint

• What it is: A simple cheek swab you do at home.
• What it tests: 103 actionable genes.
• Key takeaway: This test reveals how your body is wired, particularly focusing on methylation—a critical "on/off switch" for your genes that can turn off genetic weaknesses and turn on strengths.
• The Power: "What you inherit from mom and dad loads the gun, but it's the way you think and how you care for your body that pulls the trigger," Trish says, emphasizing that 70-75% of your genetic expression is influenced by your environment and lifestyle.
• Solution: Results lead to a customized, whole-food-based Code Complex supplement tailored to your unique genetic predispositions, designed for optimal absorption and to bridge nutritional gaps.
• Cost: Around $297 for the test, and the customized supplement is about $159/month.

2. AgeCode: Unveiling Your Biological Age

• What it is: The "gold standard," a wet blood sample test done at home or a lab.
• What it tests: Your biological age (how well your body is actually aging) across organ systems and your immune system, looking at over 8,000 actionable genetic markers, telomere length, and inflammation.
• Key takeaway: It moves beyond normalizing age-related health decline to focusing on optimization, comparing your results to a database of over a million people actively optimizing their health.
• Solution: Provides lifestyle tips, including foods to avoid/lean into, and exercises. While it doesn't offer personalized supplements like Snip Nutrigenomics, it can be combined with it.
• Cost: Approximately $1499 (currently with a $300 discount).

3. Function Labs: Optimal Blood Levels & Early Detection

• What it is: A test through partners like Quest Labs, focusing on optimal blood levels rather than just standard ranges.
• What it tests: Over 103 markers, including those for autoimmune conditions, and puts your results in context (e.g., considering a woman's hormonal cycle, which standard doctors often miss).
• Key takeaway: It provides early detection of potential disease and offers clear clinician notes, making the information easy to understand and act upon.
• Solution: Helps bridge the gap between feeling "off" and being told your standard labs are "normal," offering insights for personalized protocols.
• Cost: A membership for $499, allowing for retesting of specific markers at 6 months. July 11-17 save $145 on Function Labs discount code: FUNCTIONDAY

Beyond the Lab: Integrating Lifestyle and Emotional Wellness

Trish's approach extends far beyond just persoonalized testing. She integrates lifestyle suggestions and emphasizes the profound connection between emotional well-being and physical health.

• Lifestyle: Function Labs reports include recommendations for diet and exercise. Trish further customizes feasting and fasting cycles based on genetic information and hormonal rhythms, noting that "not everyone is meant to fast the same way every day."
• Sleep Hygiene: She stresses the importance of deep sleep by 10:30 PM to support critical organ cleansing and brain "defragging" via the glymphatic system.
• Fasting/Ketosis: Regular fasting (13-15+ hours) helps the body shift into ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel, which is crucial for brain health and overall vitality, especially as metabolism changes with age.
• Emotional Detox: Trish weaves in ancient Chinese medicine wisdom, explaining how unprocessed emotions can get "stuck in our tissues," leading to physical imbalances. Anger, for instance, can manifest as bloating or food sensitivities. She guides clients through a "nourishing emotional detox," helping them have healthy emotional responses and express themselves effectively.

"Energy and emotions are energy in motion," Trish reminds us, advocating for healthy expression over emotional stagnation. This holistic approach ensures that clients aren't just relying on supplements but are building a comprehensive health strategy.
