We provide advanced Genetic Screening services at Cutler Integrative Medicine in Birmingham, Michigan. With Dr. Cutler’s expertise in Nutrigenomics, we identify genetic risks for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, helping you take proactive steps for better health.
Dr. Cutler has studied under the pioneers of Nutrigenomics. An analysis of chromosomes (DNA), proteins, and certain metabolites enable insight into heritable disease-related genotypes, genetic polymorphisms, phenotypes, or karyotypes, and how they impact an individual’s life today.
While lifestyle, environmental toxicants, and emotional habits can be a primary factor in health, some markers present in genes can influence where and how we develop a disease. “Genetics load the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger.” Early screening may help to prevent it.
MTHFR is a gene called Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, and variations or mutations of this gene can affect the way our bodies function. This includes how we process amino acids and handle toxicants and other chemicals.
Medical professionals realize this mutation could explain why some people are more susceptible to chronic disease or don’t react the way anticipated to medicine or treatments.
Many NDs and integrative MDs currently utilize gene tests to identify patients’ genetic risks and susceptibilities and diagnose medical conditions. Many gene tests evaluate what are known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; pronounced “snips”) to identify your predisposition to diseases.
SNPs are the most frequent type of variation in the human genome and help determine your susceptibility to common diseases like heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer.
