DNA Analysis
Frequently asked questions about DNA analysis and functional genomic analysis
Our health results from a combination of our genetics, our lifestyle, and our environment. Genomic (DNA) analysis and screening allow our clinical team here at the New York Center for Integrative Health to develop customized recommendations based on your unique needs. Understanding your unique risks will allow you to take a proactive approach to your health and prevent the chronic diseases of aging you may be concerned about.
At the New York Center for Integrative Health in Manhattan, New York, we use cutting-edge software to analyze DNA to offer each patient a personalized treatment plan that factors in environmental risks and helps patients adjust their lifestyle and nutrition to influence genetic expression.
How can epigenetics be used for preventative care?
At our practice, we use an AI-powered screening tool that can comb through your DNA and check for over 3,000 genetic variations linked to genetic disorders. These variations are passed down through generations, and when they occur within certain genes, they can affect how your body functions. Luckily, these genetic variations don’t guarantee that the gene will be expressed. They may lay dormant for years until environmental factors impact them. With our analysis, you can better understand how to “Turn On” protective genes and “Turn Off” genes that may increase your risk of disease.
Does integrative medicine go beyond just treating the symptoms of disease?
Some patients may visit multiple doctors trying to find relief. At the New York Center for Integrative Health, we help you take a comprehensive look at the factors that may be impacting your long-term well-being. The more information we have about you, the easier it will be to fit the pieces together and form a treatment plan that can optimize your health and help you improve your quality of life.
Who can I call to learn more about DNA and functional genomic analysis?
