When it comes to your health and wellbeing, trial and error should never be an option.
Precision medicine is not something new. In fact, for over a decade, medical practitioners have made use of DNA testing as a mainstream tool to help determine the best treatment options for individuals.
But DNAlysis is not just about pharmacogenetics, which makes it possible to understand how an individual’s metabolism interacts with medication in the body.
DNAlysis is about determining how your body responds based on your own blueprint to everything that you put into it, and everything that you choose to do with it.
Says Dr Daniel Meyersfeld, who started the company in 2008, “Ultimately, the purpose of DNA testing is to put the power of healthcare into the hands of the consumer; to encourage that individual to be proactive and take responsibility for their health, and to motivate them to change their lifestyle in compliance with their personal health risks.”
While at the same time that medicine has moved away from the one-size-fits all model, so too has the health and wellness industry benefited from the knowledge that is available as a result of nutrigenetic testing, which provides a truly personalised approach to diet specifications and exercise requirements, as well as supplementation recommendations.
In addition, these tests highlight important information for disease prevention strategies and should be considered as a roadmap that can be accessed and used in any season of one’s life.
Indeed, what you put in is what you get out!
As leaders and pioneers in genetic testing, DNAlysis continues to bring new tests and information to the forefront of consumers and healthcare practitioners in a scientific culture that’s approachable.
From the DNAlysis academy side, certified qualification courses are presented both live and online by highly trained geneticists, dieticians, and specialist doctors. There are also webinars that practitioners can enrol in to further educate themselves and learn how to interpret reports such as the Medcheck, even if they have not completed the courses.
For doctors, especially those prescribing chronic medications, including DNA testing can significantly improve outcomes in treating their patients. And as an individual, you have the right to request this before agreeing to having any medical procedures, and/or administering treatment protocols that are more likely based on trial and error.
