Background
The credentials behind personalized genetics care.
Natalie Samson Hart is a board-certified genetic counselor who works at the intersection of modern medicine and integrative health. She earned her master's degree in human genetics and genetic counseling from Keck Graduate Institute, and has completed additional certification programs in integrative healthcare, nutrigenomics, and functional medicine.
She founded her private practice, Golden Genetics, to bring a whole-person, evidence-informed approach to genetic testing and counseling. Her work pairs medical-grade genetic testing with nutrigenomics, translating raw genetic data into prevention, lifestyle, and long-term health planning that clients can actually act on.
Natalie is the founder of Golden Genetics and a trusted referral partner of The Ascent Collab. She does not deliver sessions on-site at Ascent; clients are referred to her practice when a deeper look at their genetic blueprint can sharpen the path they are already on.
What She Does
Genetics as a starting point, not a verdict.
Natalie helps clients understand what their genes reveal about long-term risk and how daily choices shape the way those genes express themselves. Rather than treating a test result as a fixed fate, she uses it as the first, clearest step toward a proactive plan built around nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted screening.
Her counseling and testing focus on cancer and hereditary risk (including BRCA), cardiovascular genetics, and Alzheimer's and dementia risk. Her work in nutrigenomics goes further into the systems that drive everyday health: methylation, detoxification pathways, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
She is an especially strong fit for clients carrying a known family history, those who have received a result like a BRCA finding and want clarity before making decisions, and anyone focused on extending healthspan who wants their prevention strategy grounded in their own biology rather than generic advice.
Why Ascent
Where the genetic blueprint meets the cellular work.
The Ascent Collab has always built protocols around the individual rather than the average. Genetics is the layer beneath that: it explains why two clients can follow the same plan and respond differently, and where each person's prevention efforts will pay off most.
That is why Ascent refers clients to Natalie. Her genetic insight gives a personalized starting point, and Ascent's cellular and regenerative technologies give clients measurable ways to act on it. The genetic blueprint informs the plan; the technology stack supports the change at the cellular level.
For clients serious about longevity and proactive health, the two work in the same direction: understand the biology first, then give the body the inputs to optimize around it.
technologies
The Ascent technologies Natalie values most.
Natalie does not run sessions at Ascent. These are simply the technologies she finds most aligned with genetics-informed, prevention-first care, and the ones she is glad clients can access when she refers them in.
Work with Natalie
Natalie sees clients through her own practice, Golden Genetics. If you were referred by The Ascent Collab, or simply want your prevention plan grounded in your own biology, her counseling and testing are the place to start.
