Doxwell & Rehabilitation Clinic focuses on maintaining health for people of all ages, helping patients pain and prevent disease.
Imagine waking up one day and realizing you can no longer enjoy your favourite oats, bread, or even certain types of beer. This could be a sign of Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by consumption of gluten, which causes chronic inflammation in the small intestine. Diagnosing this condition can be challenging, especially when it presents no obvious symptoms, making early prevention difficult.
But what if you had known about this condition from childhood? You could have monitored for symptoms after eating gluten, occasionally replaced it with foods like fruits, unprocessed eggs, almonds, and rice, and maintained a healthier gut microbiome. This is where consumer genomics comes in.
Consumer genomics offers direct-to-consumer genetic testing services that provide insights into various traits, health conditions, ancestry, nutrition, sports, and more. The tests can use either blood samples or saliva, so those with a fear of needles can take a sigh of relief. Testing can be done as early as 10-12 years of age, turning your saliva sample into a comprehensive genetics report.
With this information, you can create a personalized plan for yourself, based on your genetic makeup. You can get the freedom to live your best life possible. Beyond Celiac Disease, you can discover which nutrition is best for you, what types of exercises your body responds to, insights into your sleep cycle, ancestry, skincare needs, potential health conditions, pharmacogenomics, and more.
By understanding your genetic makeup, you can make informed decisions about your health and lifestyle. Leverage the power of genetic insights to optimize your life and proactively manage your wellbeing. Let us help you unlock the potential of your genetics to achieve a healthier, happier life.
