Nathalie's Story: How a DNA Test Solved 30 Years of Eczema
Success Story
It was life-changing for me... within 10 days, my eczema, my lifelong eczema, went away, just gone.

Living with a skin condition like eczema can mean years of trying new things without getting answers. For some people, the usual approaches like doctor visits and allergy tests don’t always work.
Nathalie’s story is a perfect example of this journey. After more than 30 years of dealing with persistent eczema, she decided to try a genetics-based test. She was hoping to find clues that other tests hadn’t been able to find.
A Simple Test That Changed Everything
Nathalie found that the testing process with the totalPower kit was very simple. It was just a quick and easy cheek swab that she mailed to a lab.
The test is the easiest thing. It's just a Q-tip swab in your mouth. It takes 10 seconds and you're done.
A couple of weeks later, her results were delivered to her by email. While these tests don’t diagnose diseases, they can show genetic differences that might affect how a person’s body processes nutrients. For Nathalie, these insights gave her a completely new way to look at her lifelong symptoms.
The Answer Was in Her DNA
One of the key findings in Nathalie’s report suggested she had large genetic variations related to lactose. Based on this information, she decided to try a lactose-free diet.
The change was dramatic. Within just 10 days, she noticed the eczema she had been managing for most of her life was gone.
I decided to try a lactose-free diet, and within 10 days, my eczema, my lifelong eczema, went away, just gone. So in 10 days, it's completely changed 30 years of my life for the best.
While every person is different, her story shows how a targeted diet change can sometimes help people find their personal triggers.
An Important Note on Your Health
More Than Just Skin Deep
Nathalie’s results also showed that she had genetic variations related to B vitamins, especially B12 and B6. The report recommended that she try a B-complex vitamin.
She reported feeling a big boost in energy in just a few days. As a mom of two young children, this made a meaningful difference in her daily life.
I have two children under the age of four, so I'm constantly tired... But the B complex made such a huge difference for me.
This shows how understanding the way your body uses nutrients through key processes like methylation can help you make smart choices for your diet and supplements.
Genetics: The Missing Piece of the Puzzle
Nathalie’s story is a powerful example of how personal genetic insights can help people make informed lifestyle choices. For years, she looked for answers with traditional tests without success. Her DNA held the missing piece of her health puzzle.
While Nathalie’s main trigger was lactose, another person’s trigger might be something completely different. This is why a personalized approach based on your own DNA can be so powerful.
Her amazing results have even inspired her whole family to do the test.
I absolutely am recommending the DNA power test to my friends and family. In fact, we've now tested my kids and my husband... the whole family now wants to do it because they see the results for me.
