How Genetic Testing Empowers You To Live Longer And Better By Taking Control of Your Health
Like the best ideas, it’s obvious.
The easiest way to live a longer life is to not die prematurely of something preventable.
And the easiest way to extend your health span, the part of your life free of debilitating chronic diseases, is to assess and mitigate future risks.
That’s the whole idea behind precision medicine, a preventative healthcare strategy that combines personal health history, family health history, and genetic insights.
Through simple cheek swabs and advanced Whole Genome Sequencing, we provide:
- Prediction of future risks for chronic diseases based on your genetics and clinical factors
- Assessment of inherited conditions
- Actionable recommendations to mitigate identified risks
- Insights to guide more effective medication choices
- Personalized diet and exercise recommendations
This comprehensive analysis helps identify potential health risks early. Chronic diseases are much more easily dealt with when detected at their earliest stages.
Heart disease is best addressed before the heart attack. Cancer is most easily treated in its earliest stages, rather than when it has spread outside the local area where it began.
Risks can be greatly reduced with appropriate early interventions based on the latest science. Included may be proper medications and data-driven lifestyle changes that include exercise, diet, nutrition, and supplements.
Here’s how it works:
- 1️⃣ Personalized Consultation : Start with a telephone consultation. Then complete an online medical and family history questionnaire.
- 2️⃣ DNA Saliva Sample Kit : We will help you through the process at one of our offices.
- 3️⃣ DNA Sequencing : Your DNA is sequenced and analysed through curated databases to identify key gene variants.
- 4️⃣ Health Risk Identification : Comprehensive DNA-based reports reveal gene variants impacting your health profile.
- 5️⃣ Get Your Precision Medicine Blueprint : Meet in person with Dr. Jarbou, who will walk you through your blueprint and answer any questions that you might have. You will receive actionable insights and tools to inform your decisions about any potential medical, pharmaceutical and lifestyle changes.
Your next steps may include a consultation with our fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle expert Marmar Atallah. Other tools in our toolkit include additional testing, supplements and recommendations for health-grade wearables like a smartwatch for workouts or ongoing tracking of key health metrics. This holistic approach is crucial in maintaining good health.
All this empowers you you to live your best and healthiest life in a way that is handcrafted just for you and your unique genetic make-up by our team of experts.
That said, genes are just one part of the health equation and there is no “one size fits all” solution. Not every client wants or needs every possible intervention.
That’s why each of our customized solutions is hand-crafted just for you, as is your overall program. These may include other tests, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and regular check-ups.
