The ReCode 1:1 Consultation Experience is tailored to your unique genetic profile: Pre-Retreat: Two 1-hour sessions (one with Amanda, Genomics Expert, and one with Shannon, Integrative Nutritionist) to review your DNA test results and create a preliminary DNA-informed Vitality Plan. Post-Retreat: Two follow-up 1-hour sessions to refine your DNA-informed Vitality Plan and develop a sustainable, personalized wellness plan based on your retreat insights. These consultations are offered via a secure online room or in-person if location permits. Pre and Post Retreat Consultations ensure you receive expert guidance throughout your journey, translating genetic knowledge into practical lifestyle changes.

Recode uses your unique DNA (how you are built) as the foundation for learning. We have purposely chosen a DNA test that is scientifically valid and one that we actively use in clinic. Detailed instructions for DNA sample collection will be provided upon registration, with your test kit delivered directly to your home (or specified location). Pickup of your DNA sample available from the same location.The process of collecting your DNA sample is simple, fast and non-invasive, typically a blood spot or saliva sample. You collect your sample within the comfort of your own home. No need to go to a lab.

Your ReCode experience is specifically built around the scientifically valid and clinically actionable DNA test from DNA Life, released in Fall 2023. This test forms the foundation of our programming and your personalized consultations. If you have recently taken a DNA Life test, please contact us to determine if it's suitable for this retreat. We've chosen this specific test because it's available worldwide, aligning with our global audience. While Amanda is capable of interpreting various genomic tests, during this retreat, we will focus exclusively on the DNA Life test results. This ensures a consistent and tailored experience for all participants. We appreciate your understanding that other genetic test results cannot be incorporated into the retreat's programming or addressed during the sessions. This allows us to provide a focused and equitable experience for everyone.

Yes, all levels are welcome. We will provide modifications and options to ensure everyone can participate. All classes and activities are optional as well.
