Meet Lindsey Lekhraj | Founder, The Designer Genes Co.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsey Lekhraj and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lindsey, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
Genetics is a field we’re hearing more and more about as a growing trend in the wellness space. While testing certainly isn’t new, most people don’t understand just how impactful it can be when guided by a trained practitioner. Automated testing is frankly a bit worthless in comparison!

When looking at a comprehensive analysis, you can see insights across complex systems in the body like methylation pathways, hormone receptors/conversions/metabolism, blood sugar, heart health, and even food sensitivities… but– the automated testing can’t tell you what’s relevant TODAY. Genes control the overall cellular function of all of these tasks, but your individual responses are also impacted by your lifestyle, medical history, stress levels, and more. This is the science of Epigenetics, and this is what brings your results to life!

Automation also can’t configure what’s most important to you, personal preferences, and overall capacity for things; they’re also limited by fear of liability– so you’re not going to get much direction here besides mega-obvious basic wellness insights.

At The Designer Genes Co., we specialize in an actual human touch and expertise– so that you’re not getting lame advice but rather insanely specific protocols based on your current concerns and goals, your preferences, and your very own DNA chemistry.

We realize that the most impactful wellness advice is not only tailored to your DNA but also feels “doable” to you! Most people need a different level of intervention through various stages of life. Our coaches help you make the most of your results, while working smarter– not harder!

What should our readers know about your business?
The Designer Genes Co. was founded out of my own search for healing and answers, when my health challenges became increasingly priority in my thirties. After spending thousands out of pocket with some of the best functional practitioners in the country to no avail, I discovered genomics testing. Everything changed with this technology– the answers I’d been searching for, the reasons why other efforts weren’t working– everything “clicked” the moment I received my own results. I knew that this was something that would change lives!

After studying nutrition, meditation, and other holistic health modalities, this was a tangible test that gave incredibly specific answers about my own chemistry and how to optimize it. I’d never felt so empowered.

I have had the opportunity to support individuals on their own journey from many walks of life and health, from all over the world. The more I spoke out about the power of genomics, the more it made sense to others. I realized I needed to get this testing into many more lives than I could reach on my own.

Last year, I set out to begin a training program for other practitioners similar to myself that wanted to help clients get REAL results and sustainable solutions. I’ve created an entirely proprietary DNA report and coaching software that are intuitive and tailored to making this technology approachable and truly liveable!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My husband and I are obsessed with Smokin’ Oaks Market! We love to cook, and they have the best ingredients in town. We also enjoy living near Percy Priest lake, and when we want to go out for a night we usually visit East Nashville or 12 South for trending restaurants, Arrington Vineyards for a relaxing glass of wine, or catch a show somewhere downtown.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My friend and former business coach, Tiffany Napper!

Tiffany’s unique lens of life (and business) experiences was immensely helpful while shifting my business from private coaching into the certification direction. She has a knack for making big leaps feel effortless and grounded!
