We offer DNA testing for our established patients through Pathway Genomics.  Click the picture to the left for more information.

Healthy Weight DNA Insight℠

Healthy Weight DNA Insight is the most comprehensive test of its kind.  Aimed at assisting physicians and their patients in improving weight and overall health, it tests a variety of genes that influence your response to diet, metabolism, and exercise-related traits, as well as obesity-related health conditions and medications.

Healthy Woman DNA Insight℠

Healthy Woman DNA Insight is aimed as assisting physicians and their female patients in improving weight and overall health.  It tests a variety of genes that influence your response to diet, metabolism, and exercise, as well as your propensity to develop certain health conditions and your likely response to specific medications.

Cardiac DNA Insight℠

The Cardiac DNA Insight genetic test can identify risk factors that make it more likely for you to develop various heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation, or diseases that usually develop later in life, such as coronary artery disease.  This test analyzes your unique genetic markers that influence a broad range of heart-related health conditions, including ApoE, HDL and LDL cholesterol levels, risk for developing hypertension, and myocardial infarction.  Cardiac DNA Insight also examines eight classes of medications that affect the cardiovascular system, including statins, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and hormone therapies.

Mental Health DNA Insight™

Mental Health DNA Insight analyzes a patient's DNA to identify genetic variants that affect the metabolism and efficacy of psychiatric medications.  Genetic research suggests that categorizing individuals based on genotypes will make the pharmacologic treatment of psychiatric illnesses more predictable and effective.
