Pharmacogenetics

Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the study of how a person’s genetic make-up influences their response to particular medications. Results of PGx testing may help optimize medication choice and dosage, which could improve efficacy and could reduce adverse effects more quickly than the typical “trial and error” approach.

Functional Nutrition Testing

We offer comprehensive investigation of all body systems. Our test can examine within the context of your environment and life experiences. We look at the various organs and systems of the body as parts of a larger context, which allows LifeMed Practitioners to identify underlying causes of diseases. When you treat the root cause of a disease, it’s possible to interrupt the progression of the illness and at times reversal of such. LifeMed practitioners work with our clients to find the source of their problems. Then, we can find a complete solution. Functional medicine directly contrasts conventional medicine, which examines the body in separate entities. When specialists examine isolated systems, big picture concepts are missed. The problem with this approach is that our body is inherently very complex. There are millions of synergistic and antagonistic relationships occurring round-the-clock. We focus on the quality of life, not the length of a person’s life.

Micronutrient Testing

Telemere Testing
