In this 2-part series, Denise will give an overview of genetics and how genes may influence health and why DNA testing is essential for personalised medicine. She will cover DNA composition, DNA synthesis, amino acids and enzymes, what to look for in a test, terminology and highlight how to utilise this test in clinic to improve patient outcomes.
Denise will run through case studies and treatment plans for getting results and improving patient outcomes. She will explain the beneficial use of DNA testing as part of a preventative treatment plan and how DNA testing can be an integral part of a Functional Medicine approach to treating your patients. Further to this, she will also cover how to utilise other relevant pathology testing and functional testing alongside DNA testing, using case studies to highlight.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- A greater understanding of the basics of genetic testing, and more clarity on the science and importance of nutrigenomics.
- Gain clinically relevant tools so you are able to use genetic testing for preventative and proactive care as part of a Functional Medicine approach in clinic.
By the end of this series, you will understand how to use DNA testing in clinical practice.
