ABOUT US
Tarheel PGx Consulting is a healthcare consulting company that helps people to get on the right medications based on their DNA using pharmocogenomics. We can also use your DNA results to help you know what nutrients your body needs utilizing nutrigenomics.
Led by Dr. Melissa Turner, an Independent Consultant Pharmacist, our mission is for you to experience a better life by helping you and your providers make more informed decisions about medications based on your genetic profile. Your genetics not only determine your eye color, skin color and height, but it also determines how your body responds to medications and how it uses vitamins and minerals.
We specialize in providing precision medicine and nutrition management through the use of genetic testing and comprehensive medication management.
