Your DNA has a significant impact on your health. Genetic factors play a role in everything from congenital birth defects to the risk for diseases like cystic fibrosis, cancer, or sickle cell anemia. Genetic testing can give you information on what carriers and health risks are encoded in your DNA, which can help you create the best health plan for optimum wellness. As part of our treatments at NexGen Health, we offer genetic testing for health at our medical center in San Jose, CA.

Biomarker Testing: A Deeper Insight into Your Health

In addition to genetic testing, biomarker testing plays a crucial role in understanding your body’s unique health profile. Biomarkers are measurable indicators of your biological state or condition. They can include proteins, hormones, or other molecules found in blood, tissues, or other bodily fluids. Biomarker testing can help identify the presence of diseases, monitor disease progression, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

How Genetic and Biomarker Testing Can Improve Your Health

Understanding the health risk factors you were born with through genetic testing allows you to design a nutritional and wellness program to protect your body. Risk factors in your DNA for cancer, cardiovascular disease, or other disorders are not predictions but warning signs. By comprehending what health issues are encoded in your genetics, you can tailor your wellness and health plan to address these risk factors. Similarly, biomarker testing provides real-time insights into your current health status, enabling more precise interventions.

For example, if genetic testing reveals a predisposition to cardiovascular disease, biomarker testing can monitor cholesterol levels, inflammatory markers, and other relevant indicators to catch any early signs of heart disease. Together, these tests provide a comprehensive view of your health, combining genetic predispositions with current biological states.
