Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to introduce our guest, Fabien Hronec, who will be discussing the fascinating world of epigenetic testing. Fabien's journey into this innovative field began 11 years ago when he sought a deeper understanding of health and how to assess what’s happening within our bodies.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
• The introduction of epigenetic scanning using hair follicles, which serve as durable markers for cellular activity over the past 90 days.
• How this technology provides insights into your body’s nutrient levels, acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and more—without the need for specific parameters like traditional bloodwork.
• The integration of alternative medicine with traditional practices to optimize health, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.
• Fabien's innovative approach of developing a supplement compounded from medical-grade ingredients to help horses achieve optimal health based on their specific deficiencies.
