🌍✈️ Vanessa Hopkins: The Wild Side of Precision Medicine✨🔬

I was told that I couldn’t have it all. The adventure of exploring unknown lands with the rigor of safeguarding living beings. But here I am, a Precision Medicine Researcher by day, and a wide open explorer the rest of the time. I am a living example of how extreme self-care violates the limits of possibility. 💫

My Story: Driven to Burnout, Enjoying a Complete Reset🧬🔥

Five years ago I was buried in endless lab coats and data at a time where my body nearly disintegrated into just coffee and exhaustion. Then I went off on a solo trip hiking through the Amazon (why not?), and I collapsed. Not from an illness - from self-neglect. The shamans in the Amazon not only revived me, they implored that: "Why would you heal others if you are killing yourself?" 🌿💔

That's when I completely rebooted my life. I am now able to combine innovative genomics with ancient wellness practices, and demonstrate that health is not just in the DNA - it's how you LIVE. I’m collecting records of every biohacked Icelandic hot spring and studying the longevity of Okinawans. I am collecting the physiological evidence of health, one adrenaline high at a time. 🚀💉

My Why? 👀💖

• I can teach you how to thrive, not merely survive (yes, even with a normal 9-to-5 job).
• My travels are not nice postcard photos - they are raw and unfiltered adventures in exploration of the most potent healing practices the world has to offer (I ate Peruvian frog venom to address my stress...just saying. 🐸).
• I may flirt with danger (hello, volcano yoga!), but my research into personalized health to respond to stress is very real. 💊🌋

Join me for the breakthroughs, the breakdowns, and the blissful moments in between. Because your body is the greatest adventure.*** 🏔️💋

We see the designer labels on my lab goggles...😎
