Grace Hawkins on Personalized Health & Hidden Root Causes | SNH Podcast #162

Author: Health Optimization Medicine and Practice February 11, 2026 Duration: 1:04:31

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Grace Hawkins joins Jodi Duval to share her inspiring journey from medical misdiagnosis to becoming a personalized health mentor. With a background in naturopathy and clinical diagnostics, Grace blends DNA, blood chemistry, and HTMA testing to help her clients uncover the root causes of dysfunction and reclaim agency in their health journey.

From endometriosis and burnout to lab interpretation and emotional patterns, this episode is a roadmap for how to think critically, test wisely, and personalize healing in a system that often fails to see the whole picture.

Join us as we explore:
• Grace's approach to personalized testing: DNA, HTMA & blood
• Emotional patterns, heavy metals & how HTMA reveals hidden stories
• How to empower clients with data and narrative — not just prescriptions
• The future of health mentorship and integrative practitioner models

This episode is for you if:
• You've been told "your labs are normal" — but you still don't feel right
• You're curious about DNA or hair mineral testing but don't know where to start
• You're a clinician seeking a smarter approach to functional workups
• You believe healing means slow medicine — not just instant fixes
