My Journey to DNA-Based Nutrition

I'm Carla Högström, 58 years old, a Registered Nutritionist Therapist with advanced training in Functional Medicine and Nutrigenetics. My journey into nutrition began long before my formal studies-I have been passionate about food, health, and wellness since my 30s.

I hold a Master's in Economics and an MBA in International Business. While a corporate career fulfilled part of me, I realized it wasn't aligned with my true purpose. After the birth of my daughter at 42, I wanted to make a meaningful impact-help people eat better and live healthier.

As a parent, I experienced firsthand the power of nutrition: my daughter never got sick, even when schools closed due to widespread illness. Many people asked me, "What do you feed your child?" This inspired me to not only share knowledge but to encourage healthy habits in others.

During perimenopause, I noticed weight gain despite eating very healthily-a sign that I needed to understand my body on a deeper level. That turning point led me to fully embrace my passion for nutrition, going on to formally study Biomedicine and Nutrition so I could combine what I had learned in life with rigorous scientific training.

Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny

Many people have told me that I must have "good genetics." What I've learned, through my own experience and by helping clients, is that it's not luck-I carry some SNPs on important genes that can take a toll on my body.

It's the lifestyle choices, nutrition, and habits I've cultivated over the years-first guided by intuition and a deep connection with my body, and now grounded in science and evidence-that have strengthened systems that aren't naturally strong.

Understanding your genes helps you know where to focus your efforts for the best results.

Beyond Nutrition

Health isn't just about what you eat-it's about finding joy, balance, and connection with yourself and nature.

Living in Sweden, I'm blessed to be surrounded by the archipelago where I find peace, rejuvenation, and inspiration. This connection to nature reminds me daily that true wellness comes from nourishing both body and soul.
