Your fatty acid profile—and particularly the balance of omega‑3, omega‑6, and omega‑9—plays a foundational role in brain health, inflammation control, hormone balance, metabolic regulation, mood, skin, and cardiovascular function. At Patients Medical in New York City, we use integrative fatty acid testing to uncover imbalances that may be sabotaging your health and guide personalized interventions to restore balance.
We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
