Welcome to Variant Voyage where your journey towards personalized health and well being begins. I’m Amma Zellen, the voice and heart behind this space. My mission is to guide you as you uncover the unique genetic and lifestyle factors that shape your health story, empowering you to put together the pieces of your own health puzzle.
My Journey in a Snapshot -
For years, I faced unexplained symptoms that left me sick, hospitalized, and desperate for answers. Each doctor’s visit ended the same way—dismissal and skepticism. I was told my suffering was all in my head. My health struggles were so severe that I couldn’t graduate from high school or hold down a job. It felt hopeless. Eventually, I discovered I had a rare genetic disease. While getting a diagnosis brought validation, it also led to more questions. With no available treatment in the U.S., I was forced to trust my instincts, track my triggers, and learn how to manage my symptoms without adequate medical guidance. Despite the challenges, I kept searching for what worked, learning firsthand that health is deeply personal and unique to each person. Today, I benefit from newly available treatments that help me function better, but staying healthy is still a constant process of trial, adaptation, and vigilance. I’ve learned that true well-being isn’t found in a one-size-fits-all approach but in understanding the complex interactions between your genetic makeup, environment, and lifestyle.
