We at AskMarissa have one goal which has for objective to delve into the popular unTruths in the form of mainstream trends that have infected a lot of minds and sabotaged the Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Health and Happiness of far too many lives. Thus, a complete deprogramming of the “new normals” in regards to health, nutrition, and our bodies’ natural abilities to remain healthy — granted we fuel it accordingly — is beyond overdue.

We strive to accomplish this through various ways but our main focus is by using Genetics and knowledge acquired from a lifetime of research. Knowledge that is now so foreign to us that it could pass as pseudoscience to most, despite the overwhelming realities that have withered the tests of time.

Our mission is to teach you — and anyone willing to listen — the fundamentals of:

– Nutrition in its simplest form and how to optimize our bodies ability to process nutrients
– Nutrigenomics, which translates to nutrition based on your genetics
– Genetics 
– Exercise and fitness
– Health
– Well-being

But most importantly we strive to:

– bring People Back to REAL LIFE.
– Teach You To Protect your Liver – The reason you LIVE.
– Remind you of God’s Perfect, unique Design for you—and to teach you how to use it to your health advantage
– Re-Connect You with the only Ancient Knowledge you should be concerned about—that of WHO YOU ARE, that is to say—YOUR ANCESTRY.

By the way, who are your ancestors? What did they eat? How does this apply to you? What does your Genetic composition say about how YOU could optimize your life? 

In addition to determining characteristics like eye color and appearance and body type, your genes play a role in how your body does things– how it metabolizes nutrients, how it repairs tissues, and a ridiculously ton more. And the instructions aren’t set in stone: Genes can be turned on and off in response to certain stimuli. For example, your body is able to produce certain amino acids, but when you digest protein (which is made up of these same amino acids), a genetic switch gets flipped, which triggers a reaction that stops you from producing more of these amino acids for the time being. These ideas– that person-to-person variations in our genes create differences in how we metabolize foods, in addition to the fact that what we eat impacts how our genes are turned on and off (“expressed” or “muted”)– are what make up our combination of EthnoNutrition (or personalized ancestral nutrition) combined with Nutrigenomics (a field that began in 2001 among the American Dietetic Association, now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics). We at AskMarissa.com work on piecing together the relationship between food and your specific genes, as well as giving you fitness and lifestyle suggestions that suit your Genome and Ancestral roots.

But, while I’d like to think it’s as easy as just claiming it’s simply all about Genetics… it’s not truly all about Genetics. There’s something else at play.

While we aim to offer the best Genetics, Health, Lifestyle, Fitness and Nutritional services, we also whole-heartedly wish to expose the unseen and unspoken reason for unhealthiness of today’s society, and to emphasize to the utmost degree the importance of balance in your life–physically, mentally, and Spiritually.

One of our main focuses at AskMarissa.com is to restore humanity’s health by returning to NOW. One way to do this is by putting in the effort to learn and honor the way God designed each individual one of us, and to realize that, YES… EACH OF US IS REALLY UNIQUE AND SPECIAL.

Our Mission is to convince you to trust YOURSELF again…to reconnect you with your Soul again. We want to help you de-condition you from the blatant attack of mis-information overload that has occurred, due to excessive amounts of boredom and loneliness in one’s life…an attack that leaves one without the willingness to change. Searching relentlessly and chasing the dragon of a magic “cure” has robbed you of your actual Life. It has stripped you of something that has no price or equivalent: real-life human interaction, a sense of real-life community and belonging, and the equal distribution and receiving of Love and Laughter, in conjunction with daily exercise, the joy of eating your favorite foods, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and finally filling up the rabbit hole that has consumed far too much of your short life so far. It’s time to get out there, and enjoy what’s left of your life by learning how to be Human again. We’re here to help you if you can’t remember how, or if you need reassurance that there’s nothing to fear except fear itself. Bring the spark back into your life, and also, learn more about yourself to make it more interesting and more easily navigable!
