• Rachel Fyffe & Trish Mangold

Share episode

Your health story doesn’t have to be written by labels, age, or endless guesswork. Rachel sits down with holistic health practitioner Trish Mangold, founder of Elevate Vitality, to share a practical path to better energy, balanced hormones, and resilient aging—guided by your genetics. Trish describes how a simple cheek swab reveals actionable insights into nutrient needs, cofactors, and dosage, then becomes the backbone of a clear 30-day roadmap that actually fits a busy life.

We explore the three pillars that drive most chronic complaints: toxicity, deficiencies, and dysregulation. Instead of chasing symptoms like brain fog, stubborn weight, hormone swings, or infertility, Trish focuses on repairing foundational systems so the body can course-correct. She explains why hormones are followers, not root causes, and how lifestyle shapes roughly 93% of gene expression—meaning your inputs change your outcomes at any age. You’ll also hear the personal story behind her work, from fertility struggles to the creation of the 90-day Mangold Method and a DNA-driven Fast Track to Pregnancy.

You’ll learn how clients get started—from the mail-to-door cheek swab and three-week results to a precise, single-formula solution matched to your genetics. We talk about building stress resilience, improving mood, and reclaiming daily bandwidth by restoring function at the foundation. Trish shares where to connect with her, the neurotoxicity score quiz that leads to a consult, and how the Harmonium community expands access to coaching and education. Ready to feel real progress in 30 days and build momentum that lasts?

This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place where local businesses and neighbors come together. Here's your host, Rachel Five.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, hello and welcome to the Good Neighbor Podcast. Now, are you looking for a DNA-informed results-driven pathway to reverse premature aging, balance hormones, detoxify the body, and restore metabolic and emotional resilience aging, supporting vitality through a stage of life? Well, this resource is closer than you think. Today I have the pleasure of introducing your good neighbor, Trish Mangold, with Elevate Vitality. Trish, how is it going?

SPEAKER_02:

Hi, Rachel. I'm doing well. Thank you. Nice to see you.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, it's wonderful to have you here. Now we're really excited to learn about your business. So tell us about your company.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so um I'm a hostic health practitioner. I founded Elevate Vitality. Um, and out of that, out of that, with my clinical practice and personal um journey, create um came about the 90-day mangold method, as well as a DNA-driven fast track to pregnancy. So the basically I'm here to help people stay informed and empowered on their health journeys and to support healthy aging in a precise way that's matched to their genetics.

SPEAKER_01:

Awesome. Well, how did you get into this kind of business?

SPEAKER_02:

Um, that's a good question. So after um basically, the world of holistic health can get a little bit um confusing and a lot of information is out there. But now we live in a world where modern science has allowed us to get very precise with our care. And part of that is a simple cheek swab that gives us insights into our actionable genes. So these are foundational level support that can help us with why and explain why we're experiencing symptoms of disease. So personally, I had my own journey with IDF that uh took years and um also went down the path of surrogacy that didn't end with the outcomes that we were hoping for, but in that process um I became more informed in how our bodies work. And I understand that you know, chasing symptoms like our hormones or getting worried about our age, it really just comes down to three things. It's tech toxicity, deficient deficiencies, and dysregulation. So when we restore those three things, the other things that we think are our problem, like hormonal chaos, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, or struggle with infertility, these things just um are symptoms of a greater dysfunction with those three pillars. Once we restore those three pillars, the body knows what's to do and it heals itself and finds um and finds the path that you're looking for.

SPEAKER_01:

Wow. Well, what do you think are some myths or misconceptions, uh, Trisha in your industry?

SPEAKER_02:

Well, there's a lot. So a diagnosis doesn't define you. If you weren't born with it, the chances are you don't have to suffer with it, and it doesn't have to be a life sentence. Uh, we don't need to stay on a lot of these chronic medications, like forever medications, I call them, that really you have, you know, the doctors really aren't talking to you about how you can use these as a short-term solution, perhaps to get you out of the rapids and to get you onto the side of the banks so you can breathe and like reset and find um find a path that actually supports function at that foundational level. Um, so a diagnosis or a label for symptoms is not a life sentence. So you don't um if you restore those three foundations, the dysregulation to the nervous system, the deficiencies in the in that you're getting from uh your food, that you're not getting from your food, um, and the um toxicity, the other things just fall away. Labels tend to disappear. Um, hormones. I want to tell people that um hormones aren't root causes. Hormones are followers, they're a downstream symptom of deficiencies, dysfunction, and toxicity. Um, for the uh you fix those three things, and your hormones will often balance themselves out. So, and another myth, a huge myth that I see is it's just your age, it's just normalized as part of living. Um, the average American is on after the around the age of 40, you get put on one chronic medication or more, and that's become normalized around the age of 60. It's two chronic medications or more, and they just say it's part of getting older. Well, I'm here to tell you that stubborn belly fat, brain fog, and being on these lifestyle-related medications does not have to be part of your story. And we can, and also the big myth is genetics. Genetics aren't fixed and they're not to be feared. 93% of your genes is a result of lifestyle. Once you identify and correct lifestyle, and people say it's hard, but it's really not. That's where I'm here to myth bust all of that with a simple cheek swab test. It doesn't take a doctor's visit, it's something that gets delivered to your front doorstep. And a simple cheek swab test can reveal exactly what you need nutritionally in the right cofactors and in the right dosage. It's a one-time test, and then it gives you the solution. One single formula formulated for your genetics.

SPEAKER_01:

Wow. Well, now we know marketing is really the heart of every business. So, Trish, how are you binding people to your practice?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, you know, marketing is tough. Um, a lot of my uh people find me through referrals, through word of mouth. Um, more things like getting out and speaking to our community, like being here today on the Good Neighbor podcast. This is a wonderful way to reach people in need. And also I'm on harmonium.com, which is an online community. I am the director of health sciences there, as well as a lead coach. Um, so there's a lot of resources to make it accessible to people through harmonium. And um, they can also find me on Instagram, uh Trish underscore Mangold. And um also uh I have a new Instagram page that I'm unlaunching is uh your fast track to pregnancy.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, well now have I gotta have you ever thought of doing your own podcast?

SPEAKER_02:

You know, you're not the first person to ask me that. Um yes and no. I mean, I enjoy uh speaking to people, but my my strengths are definitely working with people, and um I'm gonna just enjoy being guests on podcasts. Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Now, outside of work, what do you like to do for fun, Trish?

SPEAKER_02:

Oh my gosh. I love to be in nature, I love to create. Um, I love by creating I love to cook. Um and I, you know, walks on the beach, walking in nature, um, spending quality time with friends, and having, you know, good conversation. I really enjoy travel. Um, I love food, so I like to eat my way through countries to experience the culture. Um I grew up between I'm from Laguna Beach originally, and I grew up, I spent my childhood in Australia, my summers, my summer school holidays in back in the States in California. So my parents lived in both countries, and so I've I love to travel. Um, I think I've had that in my blood from a young age.

SPEAKER_01:

So wonderful. Well, Trish, please tell our listeners one thing they should remember about elevate vitality.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, so if you're not feeling your best right now, um, you're just 30 days away, really. Um, I hope people, when we look at your genetic test, it's a cheek swab. I mentioned that. In about three weeks, you get your report, and then we can go over your report together and we can create a 30-day roadmap for you. So we can match that to your hormone profile to support to naturally support age-appropriate hormones. Uh, we can um use this as a 30-day roadmap that continues to build on itself month after month. And so you're really equipped with tools to meet your body where it's at today and to evolve with your with your body as you continue to up-level all areas of your life. So when we feel better, we have stronger relationships, we're less reactionary, um, our mood swings, we're not as easily triggered by things when we have we have a greater bandwidth for everyday stress. And um, so it's all about just restoring function at that foundational level and taking back control of our health and well-being. We don't have to give it away to a label, a lab coat. Um our our bodies just know how to heal and thrive when we give it the right tools. And often it's just a matter of taking some things away, sometimes too, to restore that function at the foundational level.
