Medications can be life saving and should be used when needed. It's important to eat foods that will fuel your body and participate in physical activity. However, you can't rely only on medications or only on food to keep you healthy. You have to take care of your WHOLE body. Your physical, mental, and spiritual. In our Mental Health Packages, we include genetic testing for medications and nutrition. We also include spiritual sessions that have an anxiety or depression focus.

In addition to genetic testing for medications, Tarheel PGx Consulting offers genetic testing for nutrition and wellness. Your DNA influences your health in so many ways. The nutritional genomics report examines 9 areas: 1. Vitamins, Minerals & Omega-3s 2. Detoxification 3. Weight Management 4. Glucose Metabolism 5. Energy & Fitness 6. Cardiovascular Health 7. Immune Health 8. Gastrointestinal Health 9. Cognitive Health & Memory Do you need to change the foods that you eat because of your genetics? Do you need to do different exercises because your DNA makes you more prone to injury or fatigue? Will a high protein diet be beneficial for your body? The only way to know is through a nutrigenomics assessment. If you have more questions, book a call to talk to our pharmacist: https://l.bttr.to/HmE4s During the call, we'll talk about how we can help you and what your next steps will be.

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person's DNA affects their response to medications. Depending on the medication, changes in your DNA can cause problems such as: 1. You could break down a drug too quickly and the drug isn't able to stay in the body and perform its function (ex: decrease your high blood pressure; lower your high cholesterol; help with your acid reflux/heartburn) 2. You could break down a drug too slowly and the drug builds up in your body causing adverse effects (ex: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, bleeding) 3. If your body can't activate a drug, then the drug isn't able to function (ex: prevent blood clots from forming; provide pain relief) 4. If your body activates a drug too quickly, then too much of the drug is formed which could lead to adverse effects (ex: toxicity, overdose, and death) Don't know if your current medications could be affected by your DNA?
