What If Genetics Affect Your Medicine?

Pharmacogenomics “PGx” testing is a one-time genetic test using a check swab that reveals how your genetic makeup interacts with common prescription medication. Most medicine is created for the “average” person, even though no such thing as “average” exists. From medication to keep your heart beating to antidepressants, your genes can result in a medicine not working at all or becoming dangerously toxic in your body. How can you know if a medicine will work with your genes? Dr. Pearson contracts with top-tier PGx and NGx laboratories in the world to give you a genetic report that will show you for the rest of your life how your genes impact your medication therapy. Interested in Neutrigenomics “NGx”? A genetic test can help you identify what foods to avoid, what exercises to use, and lifestyle choices to make in order to optimize your health.
