Women’s Health and Genetics
Many factors affect an individual’s overall health and wellness, including nutrition, exercise, and body weight as well as predispositions to a number of health conditions. However, women face additional health circumstances and challenges such as pregnancy, menopause and other gynecological conditions. In order for a woman to achieve optimal health and wellness, it is important for her to understand how her unique genetic profile may be affecting how her body utilizes energy and nutrients, as well as how it responds to certain foods, diets, and exercise regiments. A woman’s genetic makeup can also provide with insights into common health conditions that she may predisposed to, as well as other information that may be helpful during a woman’s lifetime.
Clinical Implementation for Female Patients
A woman’s unique genetic profile, provided in the Healthy Woman DNA Insight test, empowers physicians with actionable information to help guide their patients with feasible weight management goals and to improve their overall health.
