About this episode
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Grace Hawkins joins Jodi Duval to share her inspiring journey from medical misdiagnosis to becoming a personalized health mentor. With a background in naturopathy and clinical diagnostics, Grace blends DNA, blood chemistry, and HTMA testing to help her clients uncover the root causes of dysfunction and reclaim agency in their health journey. From endometriosis and burnout to lab interpretation and emotional patterns, this episode is a roadmap for how to think critically, test wisely, and personalize healing in a system that often fails to see the whole picture.
