An open letter from GeneYouIn, a consumer genetic testing provider, to naturopathic doctors outlining the similarities between naturopathic medicine and genetics.

Transcript of Genetic Testing and Naturopathic Health Management

We’re not so

different when it

comes to our core

beliefs…

Naturopathic medicine aims to

heal the whole person through

individualized treatment.

There’s nothing more

individual than a

person’s DNA.

Using the knowledge of a

person’s DNA, a treatment

plan can be customized for

a specific patient.

Naturopathic doctors believe

that treating the underlying

causes of disease takes

precedence over simply

treating symptoms.

Similarly, geneticists

believe in the

prevention of diseases.

Knowledge of one’s genetic risk

factors can be used in a

proactive manner to decrease

the likelihood of disease

development.

Genetic Testing and

Naturopathic medicine is

a natural fit.

There are numerous

benefits for naturopathic

doctors partnering with

integrated genetic

companies like

GeneYouIn, such as:

Older technologies, like single

nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-

based genetic profiling, are

being replaced by newer DNA

sequencing technologies.

Newer technologies have a

higher price tag, but provide

higher detailed and more

beneficial results for the

patient.

Genetics helps to solve

current medical problems

and provide insights into a

patient’s future health risks.

Genetic Testing will

allow your patients

access to disease

prevention.

We can embrace our

similarities in goals and

philosophies to work

together as a team.

To help patients achieve

their goal of optimal

health with the

accessibility of consumer

genetic testing.
