Integrative Genomic Evaluation
With genetic testing, we can get an insight into how to prevent or alleviate chronic conditions through your unique microbiome, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and antibiotic resistance genes.
With genomic evaluation, we can personalize your treatment to optimize your well-being and treatment success because it can inform us of what supplements or pharmacological drugs your genome will best react to, and what lifestyle factors can help “turn off” a harmful gene from expressing itself.
When Dr. Ramos has this insight into how your unique body functions, it can help her determine your risk of developing certain chronic conditions so that she can recommend specific lifestyle, diet, and supplement changes to enhance your health outcomes.
