Genetic Testing & Personalized Medicine – Precision Health with Functional Genomics

What Is Personalized Medicine?

Genetic testing transforms medical care from reactive to proactive. At Patients Medical in NYC, we use advanced genomic tools—such as pharmacogenomics, whole-exome and panel testing—to understand your individual biology. From predicting medication efficacy to pinpointing optimized nutrition and disease risk, our genetic-informed precision care offers tailor-made health protocols that align with your unique genome, environment, and lifestyle.

Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, uses your genetic profile to guide prevention and treatment—moving past the “one-size-fits-all” model . It includes:

  • Disease risk screening (e.g., hereditary cancer, cardiovascular)
  • Pharmacogenomic profiling to optimize medication choices
  • Genomic insights for weight, metabolism, detox, mental health, inflammation
  • Counseling to interpret results and manage psychological impact

Integrative Treatment Pathways

Pharmacogenomics for Medication Optimization

 We use your genomic profile to select medications and dosages that align with your metabolism—reducing side effects and enhancing efficacy. This includes antidepressants, cardiovascular, pain, and chronic disease medications—putting precision behind every prescription.

Gene-Informed Nutrition & Supplementation

Your genes influence nutrient metabolism (e.g. MTHFR, folate, vitamin D) and food sensitivities. We tailor nutrition plans, supplement protocols, and detox recommendations based on your genetic strengths or limitations.

Risk Stratification & Screenings

 Knowing your risk helps us design proactive screening plans. For example, individuals with BRCA or Lynch syndrome variants receive tailored cancer surveillance, and those with familial heart disease risk get custom prevention pathways.

Lifestyle-Modifications

Lifestyle Optimization via Genomic Insights

 Genetic data helps us fine-tune exercise, sleep, stress physiology, and circadian health strategies. For example, cortisol rhythm variants may influence sleep-wake routines, while caffeine metabolism variants guide dietary timing.

Microbiome & Gene Interactions

 Genes influence gut barrier, microbial diversity, histamine response, and immune tolerance. We bridge genomic data with stool, toxin, and food sensitivity testing to restore balanced gut health.

Ongoing Genomic Integration & Reinterpretation

 Genomic data evolves. We offer periodic reinterpretation as new research emerges and integrate that into your care plan—ensuring your treatment remains up-to-date and proactive.

Case Study: Ravi’s Rx Makeover

Ravi, 42, had migraines and depression treated with standard SSRIs that caused fatigue. Pharmacogenomic testing revealed CYP2D6 poor metabolism. We switched his medication to one suited to his genotype, and adjusted his B6/B12 diet support. Within a month, his mood stabilized, energy improved, and migraines decreased—without side effects or medication juggling.

Frequently Asked Questions

 No—it’s also used for medication metabolism, nutrient pathways, performance genetics, and personalizing prevention

 We use CLIA-certified labs and genetic counseling to ensure reliable, confidential use of your data.

 Return time varies: pharmacogenomic panels in 2 weeks, full exome in 4–6 weeks, with interim diet or med guidance.

 If you have drug metabolism variants, yes—we’ll adjust prescriptions under physician oversight to avoid interactions or toxicity.

We can report APOE and polygenic scores, but interpret them carefully with counseling to manage potential anxiety and prevention.

Some tests (BRCA, prenatal) may be covered. Others are typically out-of-network; we’ll provide superbills and cost estimates.
