Not all tests are created equal. There are tests used for standard and routine medical procedures, and ones that are only prescribed for specific circumstances. A multi-omics test is one of them. This test deals with different data sets comprising the genome, the microbiome, and the epigenome. It’s meant to target the very reasons why a person is sick or has problems with specific foods from which functional treatment can be made.

 

In today’s episode, we discuss the science behind the multi-omics test, the different types of data it analyzes, and what makes it an effective way in finding treatment. We describe the effects of a person’s ethnicity with their genes and how it affects test results. We explain what a COMT is, what it does to our hormones, and how it affects our brain. We also share the best ways to treat any abnormalities found in a multi-omics test.

 

"The more rare a polymorphism is, the more it has clinical associations when it is found.'" - Michael Chapman

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
