I specialize in Medical genetic testing which is a powerful tool that enables a truly personalized approach to healthcare. This approach identifies HLA gene variants in a patient’s genetic profile that can be a causal factor in the disease process. By understanding these variants I can offer a targeted treatment plan specific to each patient that can turn off the gene expression and prevent disease, empowering patients to take charge of their health in ways that were not possible before, leading to greater awareness and proactive health and lifestyle management. Genetic testing results are integrated with other naturopathic functional medicine therapies, such as Chinese herbal supplements, supplements, nutrition, acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling, to create a comprehensive unique plan that addresses the patient’s individual needs.

Personalized Treatment Plans

• Tailored Interventions: Genetic testing allows for the creation of highly individualized treatment plans based on a patient’s unique genetic makeup. I use interventions-dietary, nutritional and therapeutic that are specifically tailored to each patient.

• Optimized Supplement Choices: Understanding a patient's genetic profile can guide the selection of vitamins and supplements ensuring efficacy.

Disease Prevention Through Early Detection

• Identification of Genetic Risk Factors: Genetic testing can reveal predispositions to various chronic conditions such as diabetes, methylation or detox issues, cardiovascular disease, thyroid or metabolic issues. By knowing these risks in advance, genetic testing can be used to prevent or delay the onset of disease.

• Monitoring and Surveillance: Patients identified as high-risk for specific conditions can benefit from a preventative treatment plan which can be lifesaving.

Informed Lifestyle and Nutritional Choices

• Diet and Nutrition Optimization: Genetic testing can provide insights into how an individual’s body processes nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. This information allows for the creation of a nutrition plan that supports optimal health based on the patient’s genetic predispositions.

• Exercise and Weight Management: Understanding how genes influence metabolism,  and can help in design a supplement and nutrition regimen that is more effective and sustainable.

Fertility and Family Planning

• Family Planning: Genetic testing can provide valuable information for family planning, including understanding of how genetic variants can affect fertility. This allows for informed decision-making and preparation.

  Enhanced Mood and Brain Chemistry Balance

• Personalized Brain Chemistry Balance: Genetic testing can shed light on how and why you may be experiencing anxiety, OCD, ADHD or depression. I can offer the most effective treatment plan for conditions like these that can be life changing!

Autoimmune and Chronic Disease Management

• Precision in Chronic Conditions: For patients with chronic diseases like autoimmune disorders, genetic testing can offer insights into the underlying causes, guiding more precise treatment.
