Discover how stress, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and even your thoughts can turn your genes on or off—influencing your physical and mental health. In this video, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes introduces The PIECES Method, a functional mental health model that integrates Physical, Interpersonal, Emotional, Cognitive, Environmental, and Spiritual wellness.

You’ll learn how stress and trauma affect your body through epigenetic switches, how inflammation disrupts neurotransmitters and hormones, and how small daily actions—like improving sleep, setting boundaries, or cultivating hope—can “biohack” your genes for healing and resilience.

This strengths-based, trauma-informed approach bridges psychology, biology, and spirituality to help you and your clients live a more functional, balanced, and meaningful life.
