Meet Brontë
Hello and welcome! I’m Brontë Grooms, a passionate Functional Medicine practitioner and Registered Dietitian on a mission to empower people to rewrite their health stories. My journey with persistent acne and digestive issues opened my eyes to the body’s interconnected nature — how imbalances in the gut, hormones, or detox pathways can affect our skin, mood, and overall sense of well-being. Realizing this inspired me to build a practice that looks beyond symptoms, dives into root causes, and provides science-backed solutions that are sustainable and transformative.

A Personal Health Journey
For years, I struggled with unexplained skin outbreaks and digestive discomfort. No matter what I tried—topical creams, medications, dietary changes— the results were temporary and disappointing. It wasn’t until I recognized that my gut health—shaped by genetic predispositions to impaired detoxification and hormone imbalances, alongside medication, diet, and environmental toxins like mold—played a pivotal role that I experienced a breakthrough in managing my skin and digestion.
This realization fueled my desire to help others find freedom from guesswork and embrace a holistic approach that can truly change lives through The Gene Hacker.
In 2016, I became a Registered Dietitian, and in 2025 I added a Functional Medicine Nutrition Specialist to my credentials. The Gene Hacker opened its doors in 2020 and I now see patients nationally through health insurance, health & wellness packages, and group classes online.
What The Gene Hacker Symbolizes
The Gene Hacker is more than just a catchy name—it’s a representation of our core belief that genetics don’t dictate our destiny. True wellness begins by understanding your unique genetic makeup and tapping into the hidden pathways it offers for optimal health. Rather than being defined by genetic predispositions, we ‘hack’ conventional approaches to personalize strategies for lasting change. This deeper look into your body’s unique blueprint helps us craft solutions that align with who you are at your core, empowering you to break free from the one-size-fits-all programs.
The Gene Hacker is more than just a business—it’s a movement dedicated to reclaiming well-being from within.

A Personal Note from Brontë
I believe in keeping things real and sustainable for my clients. Believe it or not, I worked in sales for a few years, which taught me the importance of time management. So, I understand how challenging it can be to prioritize health with a busy schedule. That’s why I focus on quick meal solutions and practical strategies—no extravagant meals here! My health approach is grounded in efficiency and simplicity.
Outside of work, I live in Eugene with my boyfriend and beloved dog, Sparkles, a lab-mix. We enjoy lifting at the Y, hiking peaks, rafting Montana’s rivers, cooking, and spending quality time with our family. These passions fuel my approach to health, helping me support clients in finding their balance.
