Functional Medicine
is an approach to health that focuses on biochemical
individuality: the interaction between genetic uniqueness and
specific environmental factors. A Functional Medicine approach
integrates physiological and biochemical functioning at the cellular
level with interventions for altering gene expression.
Based on Predictive Genomic Testing,
individualized recommendations can be made for lifestyle, dietary,
nutraceutical and pharmaceutical interventions that will optimize
health, maximize energy and vitality, and promote longevity. Become even
more proactive: use your genotype to promote your wellness. Seize the
day!
