Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease prevention and treatment that takes into account people's individual variations in genes, environment, and lifestyle. ​​Although, experts in health care agree that it is important to include genetics as part of the assessment and treatment plan, healthcare providers are confused as to how to interpret the raw genetic data, and then what to do about it. Unfortunately, those without enough training, often have bad results when they just look at a few single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs (pronounced “snips”), and start to support methylation too quickly. Each one of us carries approximately 3 million SNPs.

However, many patients are doing inexpensive genetic testing through www.23andme.com, and are anxiously looking for practitioners who can support them. Variants in DNA can impact your ability to make and use different nutrients critical for reducing inflammation, healthy circulation, promoting a strong immunity, supporting emotional health, proper removal of the dangerous toxins you are exposed to as well as slowing the aging process.

If you’ve been searching for information on DNA and your SNPs, we can help you better understand how your DNA relates to nutrition, detoxification, anti-oxidant protection and numerous other metabolic processes. Below is a list of some of the gene functions and how they interrelated in your DNA. After a detailed face-to-face explanation, we provide you a detailed written report and personalized nutritional recommendations based on your individual’s genetic uniqueness.
