Personalized Strategies for the Complex Female Patient
Hormone imbalances and beyond
Description
Women of childbearing age make up a large majority of patients in the healthcare system. They seek out assistance with fertility, painful periods, weight loss struggles, fatigue, and a myriad of other issues. Some of the most difficult and rewarding patients to work with are the ones that have gone to a number of other talented clinicians, have made the ‘right’ diet and lifestyle changes, yet despite doing these things have seen little improvement in symptoms.
Genomic testing can be the key to uncovering and highlighting the systemic root cause with these complicated patients. Toolbox Genomics offers a number of genetic panels to address even the most challenging patient case. Using genomics in conjunction with supplements, diet, exercise and lifestyle changes has the ability to positively impact outcomes in cases that were otherwise not achieving satisfactory results.
