Activate Your Happy Genes

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. J Dunn, CEO of MyHappyGenes, located in Flowery Branch, GA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We do genetic testing with a certified CLIA lab and generate reports based on the results. Our reports recommend diet, lifestyle, and supplement suggestions for optimizing health. We are mainly targeting healthcare practitioners as our customers. They, in turn, sell to their patients.

Tell us about yourself

I had struggled with depression for my entire life. My search for answers to my own health challenges eventually led me to understand the genetic causes of mental health issues. When I understood how the genes we inherit can contribute to mental health issues and how to work with those issues with nutrition, my life completely changed.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Starting a business with my own money and getting it off the ground. It is really helping people understand why they are the way they are and how to be more balanced and happy.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

In the beginning, having to do everything. Having to learn how to do things that are really not in your set of skills but need to be done to take the business to the next level. And then understanding when it's time to hire people to do those tasks that you are not best at.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Be prepared to spend much more time and money than you ever anticipated. But keep going despite the setbacks and problems. Perseverance is the key to success. Learning along with way is just how it's done, even if there are mistakes along the way.
