By Kim Ressler, Founder & CEO of SNiP Nutrigenomics
For years, I battled bloating, fatigue, and unpredictable digestion. I tried everything—cleanses, restrictive diets, the latest probiotic trends—but nothing brought lasting relief. I was a busy mom leading multiple philanthropy projects and trying to keep my energy up for everyone else. Behind the scenes, I felt exhausted and frustrated. What I didn’t know was that the key to my gut healing—and my overall well-being—was written in my DNA.
Discovering nutrigenomics changed everything. Today, as the CEO of SNiP Nutrigenomics, I get to help others experience that same transformation by understanding how their genes influence gut health, immunity, and metabolism. If you’ve ever felt like your digestion is working against you, or your body just doesn’t respond to “one-size-fits-all” solutions, keep reading—because your gut may be smarter than you think.
Your Gut Does More Than Digest
We often think of gut health as being all about digestion, but your gut is so much more than that. It’s home to trillions of microbes that influence your mood, energy, immunity, and even how efficiently your body burns fat. A balanced gut helps break down food, produce essential vitamins, support your immune system, and regulate inflammation. When it’s off balance—called dysbiosis—you may experience bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or chronic inflammation.
The gut even produces neurotransmitters like serotonin, which impact mood and mental clarity. That connection between your gut and brain? It’s real—and it’s powerful.
How Your Genes Influence Gut Health
While lifestyle and diet are important, your genes also play a major role in gut function. Certain genetic variations (SNPs) can affect how your body processes nutrients, maintains gut lining integrity, and responds to environmental stress. By identifying and supporting these variations, we can create targeted nutrition strategies that bring your gut back into balance.
Here are a few of the key genes we test and support at SNiP:
- FUT2: Impacts the diversity of your gut microbiome
- MTHFR & MTRR: Influence nutrient metabolism and gut lining repair
- VDR: Affects vitamin D utilization, crucial for immunity and microbiome health
- TNF-α, IL-6 & CRP: Regulate inflammation and how your gut responds to stress
- SOD2: Supports your gut’s defense against oxidative stress
Nutrients That Support a Healthier Gut
Once I understood my genetic profile, I began supporting my body with targeted nutrients, and everything changed. Some of the most powerful nutrients for gut support in our all-in-one formula, CODE Complex™, include:
- SAMe: Helps repair gut lining and support detox pathways
- Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF: An active form of folate critical for gut cell regeneration
- Methylcobalamin (B12): Supports energy and digestion
- Betaine (TMG): Aids nutrient absorption and methylation
- Milk Thistle: Detox support for liver and gut synergy
- Green Tea & Turmeric Extracts: Reduce gut inflammation and oxidative stress
- Spirulina & Bilberry: Prebiotic and antioxidant support
These are paired with other powerful plant compounds like frankincense and ac-11® to protect, heal, and optimize gut function at the cellular level.
Lifestyle Habits to Boost Gut Function
You don’t have to overhaul your life to start improving your gut. These simple habits made a big difference for me and countless others:
- Add fiber: Fuel your microbiome with veggies, legumes, and whole grains
- Eat fermented foods: Yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut support microbial diversity
- Stay hydrated: Water keeps digestion moving and protects the gut lining
- Move your body: Daily walks and gentle exercise improve motility and mood
- Manage stress: Sleep, mindfulness, and time in nature directly impact gut health
- Limit processed foods: Whole, simple ingredients are easiest on the microbiome
From Frustration to Freedom
Once I understood my unique gut blueprint, I finally found a plan that worked with my body instead of against it. I felt lighter, more energized, and more clear-headed. And perhaps most importantly, I felt in control again.
This is why I started SNiP Nutrigenomics—to take the guesswork out of wellness and give people real answers backed by their DNA.

A Gift From Me to You
If you’ve made it this far, I want to thank you. Gut health has been a personal journey for me, and I know how overwhelming it can feel when nothing seems to work and you don’t know where to turn. That’s why I’m doing something special.
I’m offering you free access to a private masterclass I recently hosted with our scientific advisor, Andi Rainville. It’s called Gut Health & Your Genes: The Foundation of Wellness, and in just 35 minutes, we cover what your gut is really trying to tell you—and how your genes can guide the way to better digestion, immunity, energy, and balance.
This replay is normally reserved for active SNiP customers, but I want you to have it—no strings attached—because I believe everyone deserves to feel good in their body and confident in their choices.
