“Pharmacogenomics is a fascinating field and incredibly necessary and important. The results of my test directly impacted my health. Now I can make much more informed choices about medications and can simply avoid likely medication problems that this test identified. My test results validate my own experience with various classes of medications which I have had negative reactions to over many years. I wish I’d had this data 20 or 30 years ago! I would have been able to prevent some serious problems. This is such an important field, and the information will help so many people avoid unnecessary suffering.”

We have focused on treatment of depression and hyperlipidemia, and medication changes have been instituted as a result of our findings."
