How Functional Medicine Uses Genetic Data

Functional medicine employs all available tools to help you heal quickly and naturally.  In addition to diagnostic testing, nutrition, pharmaceutical-grade supplementation, and manual treatments – another tool is your genetic data.

Especially for chronic conditions or ‘mystery’ symptoms – genetic data can provide a window into the inner workings of your body and illuminate pathways that may be blocked and are preventing you from healing.

While genetic data is routinely used by online software programs to generate ‘disease risk.’ Most of the time, these risk assessments are of limited use.  The science behind those risk assessments, however, is very important.
