Take Proactive Care For Your Health

Some conditions can be genetic

Most disease cases are caused by a combination of environmental conditions like pollution, and lifestyle choices like an unhealthy diet, being overweight, smoking and drinking. However, some are due to genetics.

Inherited conditions can be successfully managed

Early detection can help you and your healthcare provider create a personalised plan with lifestyle recommendations to limit any potentially serious negative health impacts. They may recommend regular exercise routine or a diet that’s low in saturated and trans fats, salt, and added sugars.

This information can help your family, too

As hereditary health disorders run in families, your results can help your loved ones understand their health risk and take proactive care of their own health. Your healthcare provider may also identify family members who can be tested and begin start of treatment, if needed.

Take action based on your results. 

With Genomed, you can make health decisions based on your results. Our medical-grade tests are the same tests used by doctors and genetic counselors. Based on your results, you can work with your healthcare provider to consider:

– increased or earlier screenings

– lifestyle modifications

– early intervention to prevent the onset of disease
