Lorenna Salge’s journey into personalised health care was shaped by a personal loss and a desire for answers beyond symptoms.
When Lorenna Salge, a Medical Scientist specializing in Nutrigenomics, received the news that her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer, it marked a turning point in her understanding of health.
What made the diagnosis even more significant was its timing: it came just one year after her parents’ separation — a deeply emotional event that, Lorenna recalls, completely rocked her mother’s world. The emotional toll, the shift in her environment, and the life upheaval were impossible to ignore.
While doctors focused on standard genetic risk and conventional treatments, Lorenna instinctively felt there was a missing link — that her mum’s health breakdown wasn’t just about faulty genes, but about how those genes were being influenced by her emotional and environmental stress.
While the impact of lifestyle, stress, and emotional factors on health is becoming increasingly acknowledged, these areas weren’t fully addressed by traditional treatments. This gap in care sparked a deep interest in Lorenna to explore a more holistic approach to health, one that considers the interconnectedness of genetics, environment, and well-being.
From Personal Loss to a Vision for Holistic Health
Determined to understand health beyond just symptom management, Lorenna immersed herself in the field of nutrigenomics — the study of how our genes interact with diet, environment, and stress. This journey led her to create Sneep Nutrigenetics Consulting, a service designed to help people better understand their genetic makeup and its relationship with their health.
Rather than merely treating symptoms, Sneep focuses on understanding the full picture — taking into account each person’s unique genetic data, daily habits, environment, and emotional well-being.
“My mum’s diagnosis made me realize how much we were missing in our approach to health,” Lorenna shares. “I wanted to create something that empowered people to better understand their biology and make informed decisions about their health.”
The Sneep Approach: Understanding Genetics in Context
What sets Sneep apart from other genetic testing services is its interpretive approach. While many genetic tests offer static reports, Sneep focuses on how genes interact with lifestyle, environment, and emotional factors.
“Genetic tests are valuable when they lead to actionable insights,” Lorenna explains. “At Sneep, we help clients interpret their genetic data in a way that supports their overall well-being.”
Sneep’s method is grounded in functional medicine principles, combining lab analysis with a real-world understanding of how genetics and lifestyle can influence health outcomes. The approach helps clients understand how factors like stress, sleep deprivation, and environmental exposures can affect the expression of their genes — potentially leading to inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and fatigue.
A Human-Centered, Science-Backed Approach to Wellness
Sneep’s philosophy balances scientific rigor with a human-centered approach. With a background in medical science, Lorenna is well-versed in genetics, methylation, neurotransmitters, detox pathways, and more. But she’s also committed to making complex scientific concepts accessible and practical for her clients.
“My goal is to help people feel confident in their health choices by providing science-based insights that are easy to understand and apply,” says Lorenna.
Sneep’s approach emphasizes sustainable lifestyle changes rather than extreme measures. Lorenna advocates for balance, focusing on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and overall well-being that works with — not against — the body’s genetic makeup.
Real Stories, Real Impact
The success stories from Sneep’s clients highlight the effectiveness of a personalized approach. Many clients seek help after conventional treatments haven’t fully resolved their health issues. While Sneep doesn’t promise to cure specific diseases, clients report feeling more empowered and better able to manage their well-being by understanding how their genetics intersect with their lifestyle.
A Vision for the Future: Proactive Health, Not Reactive Care
Lorenna’s vision for Sneep is focused on empowering individuals to take control of their health before problems arise. She advocates for a shift in healthcare from reactive symptom management to proactive, preventative care.
“Health isn’t just about reacting when issues arise. It’s about understanding the factors that influence our health, so we can make informed decisions long before problems develop,” Lorenna says.
By combining cutting-edge science with practical lifestyle strategies, Sneep is helping to redefine how we approach health — moving away from symptom-focused care to a deeper, more holistic understanding of the body’s needs.
