DNA is the chemical database that holds the instructions for the functions of the entire body. Genetic testing involves examining this DNA to discover information that can be utilized for diagnosing, treating, and preventing illness. The testing process can uncover any mutations in the genes that may result in illness or disease down the road.
While genetic testing can provide valuable medical insight, there are limitations, and the results should be carefully considered.
For instance, a positive result from genetic testing doesn’t guarantee that a healthy person will become ill. However, it can allow someone to proactively work towards catching a disease early in its development for early treatment – or preventing the illness from developing at all.
It is imperative that genetic testing results come from a medical professional or counselor who can discuss the information rationally and without panic or fear. In the right hands, this information can help to significantly improve health and overall well-being. Results should never be seen as a foregone conclusion; a qualified expert can explain how they can provide significant benefits and enhance overall health.
Dr. Ryan Johnson at Integrated Chiropractic analyzes your raw results from Ancestry.com to provide a detailed and personalized analysis of your unique genetic makeup, including how your DNA influences your holistic biochemistry.
Understanding Who You Are From the Inside Out
The specialized physician software utilized at our clinic will address:
Unique Genetic Makeup: The patient will gain insight into the variations in their genes that may impact their holistic health and well-being.
Biochemical Impacts: With the guidance of Dr. Johnson, patients will investigate how their unique genes impact their body’s biochemistry, affecting everything from the rate of nutrient absorption to the best detoxification methods.
Health Scorecard: Through the genetic testing process, patients can learn about potential health risks and areas where their genetics protect them.
The genetic tests’ results can help provide a medical diagnosis for unexplained symptoms, confirm a suspected health condition, avoid unnecessary treatment options, or identify family members who may also be at risk.
The insights gathered from the process can inform decisions about diet, lifestyle, and medical interventions that make sense for the patient based on their own unique genetic makeup. Dr. Johnson works with patients to ensure they understand their personal health story, recommending positive steps to maximize health now and in the future.
Here are some of the issues that can be identified via genetic testing:
Cardiac: Including high cholesterol, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), cardiomyopathy, aortic conditions, heart failure, and congenital heart disease.
Neurological: Including developmental disorders, movement disorders (such as Parkinson’s disease), neuromuscular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and epilepsy.
Disease: Including autoimmune diseases, connective tissue diseases, endocrine diseases, immune system diseases, cancers, kidney diseases, and cystic fibrosis.
Pediatric: Including epilepsy, delayed development, hypergrowth, breathing disorders, structural heart defects, birth defects, and childhood-onset cancers.
Advanced Genetic Testing
If the patient would like to take a more detailed approach to their health, the advanced genetic analysis provides not only basic analytics but also further explores the biochemistry and enzyme function in the body. A comprehensive Applied Kinesiology exam will result in a recommended regimen of multivitamins, supplements, and nutrients based on the patient’s specific genetics and DNA.
