Personalized Medicine through Genomics
Testing
by Dr. Suzann Wang
 As technology and
medicine continues to advance, your doctor now has access to predictive
genomics testing to offer you truly personalized healthcare. The
information gained through genomics testing offers your doctor better insight on
how to approach YOU.
If your doctor
identifies that you may have increased risk for an illness, then in the spirit
of true preventative medicine, your doctor can then implement a plan for you to
reduce that risk given your personal risk factors. In genomics testing the
importance of identifying your genetic variation is so that you and your doctor
understand what your risk factors are and to minimize those risks through
environmental factors, nutrition, diet, modifying toxic exposure and
lifestyle.
The categories of patients that are recommended to
utilize genomics testing are the following:
 |
For Proactive Risk
Assessment: to provide earlier, more precise and more customized preventive
intervention for proactive patients. |
|
Patients with
Particular Family Histories: to identify inherited risks within families
that can be modified by environmental changes. |
|
Challenging Cases:
to gain increased insight into multi-factorial conditions and to provide
more effective treatment options based on biochemical individuality. |
Currently, we are offering:
| Cardio Genomic Profile:
Identifies genetic risk for methylation defects, hypercoagulation,
hypertension, cholesterol imbalance, inflammation and cardiovascular
disease. |
| Osteo Genomic Profile:
Identifies genetic risk for rapid bone loss, nutrient dysmetabolism, hormone
dysfunction and chronic inflammation. |
| Immuno Genomic Profile:
Identifies genetic risk for defects in immune defense and upregulated
inflammatory response. |
| Detoxi Genomic Profile |
In genomics testing we are looking
for Modifiable genetic risk factors
that put you at risk for particular diseases. Because these genetic risk
factors are modifiable, then you are empowered to change these risk
factors. We are so excited about this testing that has just become
available to our patients. Our new tool for preventative and personalized
medicine is now here! Call our office for more details.
