Precision Medicine
This is the basis of Functional Medicine: a step away from the traditional ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Precision medicine is predictive, preventive and customized.
We are pleased to have brought our clients elements of precision medicine for over 15 years as the science evolves.
Advances in science allow us to:
- Look at your genetics, beyond risks for certain diseases
- Epigenetics and your rate of aging. Eg. Horvath clock
- Examine your microbiome
- Understand the personalized glycemic response
- Map your toxic burden
- Identify and treat chronic inflammation and chronic infections
- Identify your liver enzyme pathways
- Advanced cardiac testing to predict heart inflammation, examine blood vessel immune system function and specific markers that predict future cardiac event risk years before symptoms develop
- Advanced cardiac imaging to find early calcification and stratify risk
- Advanced lipid (cholesterol) panels to identify particle size and particle number
- Identify diabetes before it becomes apparent on routine blood testing, even before pre-diabetes
OUR HISTORY
When we started seeing patients 16 years ago, it was to focus on bio-identical hormone therapy. Very soon it became apparent that hormones are only 1 piece of the puzzle to achieving true health and vitality.
