Your Genes by Design is part of Inspired Living for Women — a space dedicated to helping women 45+ understand how their bodies work, one gene at a time.
It’s where science meets real life — through practical education, courses, and conversations that make genetics simple, relevant, and empowering.
This platform explores how your DNA influences key areas like hormones, detox, metabolism, and long-term health — so you can make confident, informed decisions without the confusion or overwhelm.
It’s not about fixing what’s “wrong.”
It’s about understanding how your genetic blueprint shapes your energy, resilience, and well-being — and learning how to work with your body’s design, not against it.
🌿 What You’ll Learn
Whether through a course, podcast episode, or newsletter, every piece of Your Genes by Design content breaks down complex science into plain language and clear takeaways you can actually use.
You’ll discover how your genes influence:
- Nutrition & Genomics — how your body processes caffeine, sugar, fats, and key nutrients
- Hormones & Detox — what drives estrogen balance and how your detox pathways function
- Glucose & Energy — why midlife metabolism shifts and how to support blood sugar balance
- Brain & Longevity — the DNA factors tied to focus, mood, and cognitive health
- Real-Life Application — how to connect the dots between your genes, food, supplements, and habits that fit you
Every lesson, episode, and guide is designed to help you understand why your body responds the way it does — and what you can do to support it.
Who It’s For
Your Genes by Design is created for women 45+ who are ready to go deeper than surface-level wellness advice.
You’re curious about why things change — energy, sleep, hormones, cravings — and you want answers that actually make sense for your unique body.
You don’t need a lab report or a science background to benefit from this work. Just curiosity — and a desire to make choices that align with your body’s natural design.
What Inspired Your Genes by Design
I’m Lauri Wakefield, founder of Inspired Living for Women and creator of Your Genes by Design.
After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2022 reshaped how I think about health and prevention, I began studying Functional Nutrition and Functional Genomics & Nutrition Coaching — and discovered how powerfully our genes influence how we age, heal, and thrive.
My work isn’t about medical advice — it’s about curiosity, clarity, and empowerment. I translate complex genetic science into practical steps that help women 45+ make informed, confident choices for long-term well-being.

Your Genes by Design is more than a podcast or newsletter — it’s an evolving collection of courses and conversations designed to help you understand your genetic blueprint and apply it in everyday life.
Each short, focused podcast episode explores one topic — like estrogen metabolism, caffeine sensitivity, or glucose balance — and connects it to real life for women in midlife and beyond.
Episodes are shared through the newsletter, along with occasional articles and course updates — no fixed schedule, just meaningful, science-informed content that respects both your intelligence and your time.
