Discover a personalised approach to wellbeing, bringing together your EpixLife assessment insights, individual lifestyle priorities and practical wellness guidance in an exceptional Alpine setting.
Enquire about an appointmentThrough my studies at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), I discovered the importance of bio-individuality: the understanding that every person has different needs and that wellbeing is shaped by more than nutrition alone.
Sleep, movement, stress, relationships, work and the environment around you all matter. This is a multidimensional approach to understanding the whole person.
Epigenetics adds another perspective: research explores how diet, lifestyle and environmental influences can affect the regulation of gene activity. THE METHOD brings this thinking together with your personal circumstances and qualitative wellness insights to create a practical way forward.
Our hair-based wellness assessment provides qualitative indicators; it does not directly measure gene expression or DNA methylation.
One person. Many influences. One individual approach.
THE METHOD Circle of Bio-Individuality · Adapted from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) Circle of Life.
We begin with your wellness questionnaire: your goals, food preferences, sleep, stress, movement, work, social connections and environment. This whole-person context follows the bio-individuality approach I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN).
Your chosen EpixLife Wellness or Age Management hair-based epigenetic wellness assessment provides qualitative indicators across nutritional, metabolic and environmental categories. We interpret the report alongside your questionnaire, not in isolation.
THE METHOD brings your bio-individuality and EpixLife assessment insights together into food-first guidance, realistic lifestyle priorities and a practical wellness protocol designed around your life.
Choose your EpixLife epigenetic wellness assessment — Wellness or Age Management. Both begin with your wellness questionnaire, followed by a qualitative hair-based report and a personalised review through THE METHOD.
Four Pillars of Wellness
For people who want to explore everyday wellbeing, nutrition, digestion, rest and sustainable habits.

For a longer-term view of feeling well, maintaining strength and supporting healthy-ageing goals.
Explore Age Management ↗The Four Pillars of Wellness and Five Pillars of Longevity are THE METHOD coaching frameworks. They help translate your EpixLife assessment and questionnaire into a personal plan; they are not separate laboratory tests.
Both EpixLife Wellness and Age Management epigenetic wellness reports cover the qualitative indicator categories below. These describe the scope of the report — not a list of symptoms or conditions.
Dedicated sections on the immune, intestinal and cardiovascular systems.
Dedicated sections on Detox, Cellular Boost, Tonicity & Firmness, and Elasticity.
How to read these results: EpixLife provides qualitative wellness indicators, not medical diagnoses or measurements of gene expression. Microbiology and toxic-exposure signals do not establish infection, parasites, fungal overgrowth or heavy-metal toxicity. Clinical concerns require appropriate professional assessment and testing.
Some of the reasons clients choose to explore their wellbeing with THE METHOD.
We focus on practical wellness support and appropriate professional referrals for clinical concerns.

I founded THE METHOD to make personalised wellness practical, meaningful and sustainable. My studies at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) strengthened my belief in bio-individuality — seeing each person through nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and everyday circumstances.
A serious accident interrupted my life and was followed by ten operations and an extended rehabilitation. I continued and completed my studies during this period. The knowledge I gained about nutrition, lifestyle and the many dimensions of wellbeing also helped me navigate my own recovery, alongside essential medical care.
“Never underestimate yourself. You have to go out every single day with the mindset that you will WIN.”— Kevin O’Leary
Today, I bring the same persistence and respect for each person's individual circumstances to THE METHOD. My aim is to help you understand your starting point and find a wellness approach that genuinely fits your life.

Everything from your hair sample and results to the differences between assessments, remote testing and your next steps.
DNA tests examine inherited genetic information. Blood tests measure specific substances or markers and can help clinicians assess health conditions. EpixLife uses a small hair-root sample and a frequency-based scanning system to generate qualitative wellness indicators concerning nutrition, metabolism and environmental factors. It is not a DNA test, does not measure blood nutrient levels, and is not an established clinical test of DNA methylation or gene expression.
Both assessments consider a broad range of qualitative indicators across 18 metabolic-system categories, nutrition (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and antioxidants) and environmental factors, including microbiology. Not every category will be highlighted as a priority: the report draws attention to the strongest optimisation signals for you. Wellness has dedicated Immune, Intestinal and Cardiovascular sections; Age Management adds Detox Indicators, Cellular Boost, Tonicity & Firmness, and Elasticity.
No needles, blood draw or fasting are needed. A few strands of hair are gently removed with the roots attached, usually from the back of the head. You may notice a brief tug, but there is no surgical procedure.
The EpixLife report does not diagnose allergies or identify specific allergens. It may, however, highlight qualitative wellness indicators connected with immune and intestinal wellbeing, nutrients, and inflammation-related processes. I consider these alongside what you tell me about your symptoms, food choices and lifestyle, and help you identify practical nutrition and lifestyle priorities that may support everyday wellbeing. Suspected allergies, persistent symptoms and treatment decisions require medical assessment.
Yes. EpixLife has a dedicated Kids wellness assessment designed for children aged 1–7, using a small hair sample and age-appropriate, parent-led guidance. THE METHOD Kids is coming soon — please enquire if you would like to be informed when appointments become available.
The report reviews a broader library of qualitative indicators and draws attention to those showing the highest optimisation priority for that assessment. THE METHOD then considers those highlighted signals alongside your questionnaire, goals and everyday life. A category that is not highlighted should not be taken to mean it has been medically ruled out.
Yes. Tell Jelena when you enquire that you would like a remote assessment. We can arrange for a BioPack sampling kit and instructions to be sent to you. Your hair sample is returned for scanning, and consultations and report reviews can be arranged online.
For remote assessments, your hair sample must be returned within five days of collection for scanning, in line with the sampling guidance provided through EpixLife Academy. We'll arrange the timing with you before sending the BioPack, so please follow the enclosed instructions and organise prompt return delivery.
Your initial EpixLife report is normally available within two days after the sample is received and scanned. Shipping time is additional. Your personal interpretation, coaching recommendations and consultation are prepared and scheduled separately.
Yes. Private in-person consultations in Gstaad are available by enquiry. Ask about appointments at Le Grand Spa at Le Grand Bellevue Hotel, Gstaad, or choose an online consultation with remote sampling.
The EpixLife assessment can be repeated at a minimum interval of 90 days, allowing time to implement your personalised wellness recommendations and review changes in your everyday habits and wellbeing.
Your questionnaire explores your goals, food preferences, sleep, movement, work, stress, social connections and environmental context. I consider this whole-person picture alongside qualitative assessment indicators to create personalised food-first and lifestyle guidance.
Wellness is centred on everyday wellbeing, with particular focus on immune, intestinal and cardiovascular-related report areas. Age Management includes additional healthy-ageing indicators such as cellular support, tonicity, firmness, elasticity and detox-related themes. Both are tailored to the individual; the Four or Five Pillars organise your deeper TRANSFORM programme.
DISCOVER includes your selected assessment, private report review and personalised starting protocol. TRANSFORM adds structured Four- or Five-Pillar planning, a 90-day strategy, further consultation, tailored nutrition guidance, your private client portal, progress tracking and a follow-up assessment.
