The Secret Your Hair Holds About Your Health

Paola Cortes |

Have you ever felt tired even after a full night’s sleep? Or noticed that your digestion doesn’t improve even when you “eat healthy”? For a long time, it was believed that family history was the main determinant of our health. Phrases like “diabetes runs in my family, so it’s very likely I’ll get it too” are common. But today we know that family history explains only part of the story.

Science shows that genetics is not destiny. Twin studies indicate that only about 30% of epigenetic patterns are explained by inherited genes, while the rest —up to 70% or more— is influenced by factors such as nutrition, stress, environment, and sleep.

This means that what you do every day has a direct impact on how your genes are expressed, affecting your energy, metabolism, and overall well-being.

What Your Hair Can Reveal

Hair acts like a living archive: each strand records how you are moving through life, and a qualitative test helps us understand your biological priorities day by day.

It is not a medical analysis, but rather an orientative tool that highlights key signals such as:

  • Clues about nutrient deficiencies that may affect your energy or immune system.
  • Markers of your microbiota and its ability to process what you eat.
  • Signs of accumulated toxins that may be limiting your vitality.
  • Traces of stress or environmental exposure, such as constant technology use, that may impact your rest.

Altogether, it creates a snapshot of your body in the present, pointing to the directions where change may bring balance.

Why This Approach Matters

What makes this approach unique is that it focuses on specific priorities, not diagnoses. It allows you to:

  • Know whether you should temporarily avoid certain foods.
  • Identify which nutrients are most important for your current reality.
  • Detect lifestyle areas that need attention —whether rest, stress, or activity.

In this way, you can make real, conscious, and personalized choices with greater clarity.

The Value of Aligning Habits

This path is not only about what we eat. Finding balance in our health —and truly feeling it— means paying attention to what is often called primary nutrition:

  • Restorative sleep and its role in cellular repair.
  • Stress management and its influence on inflammation.
  • Relationships and environment, essential for emotional balance.

When these elements are integrated where you need them most, profound changes emerge:
Renewed energy from the moment you wake up.
Lighter, more efficient digestion.
Reduced inflammation.
A more stable mood.
A sense of fulfillment in the simple things: sleeping well, enjoying life, connecting with yourself.

All of this comes from recognizing your own individuality: there are no universal rules, only unique paths for each person.

In conclusion, your genes do not condemn you. They are just part of the script. What is truly powerful is how you choose to “feed” that script with your daily habits.

Epigenetics shows us that our body is always speaking —and we can learn to listen. That dialogue, translated into conscious habits, leads to balance and fulfillment.

The real value of taking care of your health does not lie in extreme changes, but in finding your own balance and appreciating what simply works, day after day.
