IntellXX-DNA in San Francisco
For those of us old enough to remember, the unveiling of The Genome Project in 2008 was an incredible moment for the field of genetics. Magazines and newspapers were full of stories discussing genes and the potential for cloning, the supposed holy grail of health. At the time, the new information was an absolute quagmire to me, but I was determined to understand how genetics could improve my patients’ health outcomes.
Throughout the last 10 years, I’ve studied the clinical application of Genomics. I started my real educational journey with Dr. Ben Lynch, learning about his STRATEGENE approach with the help of his colleagues, Dr. Elizma Lampert and Tom Malterre. This gave me a great basic understanding of the cellular cycles within our body that are put at risk with different genetic variants known as SNPs – single nucleotide polymorphisms.
I am now excited to share with you a unique opportunity to use INTELLXX-DNA as a more high-powered, advanced genomic tool in order to help us find real, personalized data about how your body functions and cells work.
Why IntellXX DNA Matters to Your Health
IntellXX-DNA allows me, as your clinician, to look at over 600 DNA sequence changes (variants) that help make you unique. What’s more, these sequences are modifiable and can contribute to chronic illnesses such as cognitive decline, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, GI issues, mental wellness, anxiety/depression, women’s health issues (such as endometriosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, menopausal symptoms, hormonal fluctuations) and much more.
We need to remember that the Genetic Variants only help guide us to core imbalances when we have the symptoms to back the Genetic roadmap. We still have a lot to learn about Genomics – and we are learning fast – but the roadmap helps the most when the map fits the symptoms you are having. We do not look at the genes to diagnose symptoms. The symptoms you are having tell the story, and the genes help shed light on the reasons why the symptoms occur.
Use IntellXX DNA to Create a Personalized Wellness Plan
IntellXXDNA is a powerful tool that helps me guide you with a personalized, precise treatment plan. The genes we would explore together are NOT your destiny but a roadmap to help you stay well. Virtually all of the gene variants in the IntellXX-DNA report can be modified by diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. Whether you are worried about things that run in your family or want to create a plan for overall wellness and personalized prevention, this tool can be hugely beneficial.
Genetics. The Root of Chronic Illness
Chronic illness or “ just not optimal health” is not due to one gene. They are a result of a combination of many small gene variants and how they interact with our diet, lifestyle, and environment. IntellXX-DNA also looks at inflammation and genes involved with repairing your body and removing harmful substances such as chemicals and mold. From our experience, we have not met anyone who did not benefit from having access to their genomic information. Genomics is a powerful tool for finding the root contributing factors of complex health issues.
Could You Benefit from IntellXX DNA?
A question you may ask yourself:
Why when I get sick, do I have so much trouble getting better?
Genes are not an island, they are dancers in the troupe of life which need the troupe to thrive. Optimal health is dependent on multiple dancers all thriving. The genes are not alone, they are heavily affected by the environment.
I use the genetic information from IntellXX-DNA along with a detailed history of each individual person.
Looking at each individual and their physical, emotional and spiritual well being as one whole ecosystem.
- If you are not sleeping, you are not healing.
- If you are not connecting with friends or community you are isolated
- If you are eating foods which are harmful to your body, your cells will not function properly and your body suffers.
- If you are not moving your body – you are stagnant.
- If you are deficient in vitamins and minerals your cells are not thriving.
ALL of this affects your genes, and your genes, along with the microbiome, are the master switchboard in your body.
This is how I use IntellXX-DNA in my practice.
