Imagine if your health plan wasn’t based on trial and error—but instead designed specifically for your body, your genes, and your life. At Taylor Made Wellness, we make that possible.

Whether you're struggling with fatigue, mood shifts, inflammation, poor sleep, medication side effects, or you’re simply trying to optimize your health and longevity, genetic testing can uncover the "why" behind your symptoms—and the "how" behind your healing.

Why Genetics Matters

Every person carries a unique blueprint—your DNA. That blueprint doesn’t just determine your eye color or height; it influences how you:

Process nutrients
Handle stress
Detoxify chemicals
Metabolize medications
Sleep, think, and feel
Respond to your environment over time

With the right testing, this blueprint becomes a clinical roadmap, revealing which diet works best, which supplements are worth your money, which medications to avoid, and which lifestyle changes could make the biggest difference in your energy, mood, and resilience.

This is precision medicine—not based on averages, but on you.

Services I Offer

🔬 1. DNA Testing (Genomics Panels)

What it is:This one-time cheek swab looks at your static genome—the genetic code you were born with. It never changes and offers a permanent foundation for lifelong health planning.

We analyze your risk and strength areas in:

Nutrient metabolism
Inflammatory response
Detoxification capacity
Brain chemistry
Hormone balance
Fitness & sleep optimization
Immune system dynamics

What we do with it:We translate your SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) patterns into actionable plans—tailored nutrition, supplementation, and preventative care strategies.

Ideal for:

Wellness seekers
Chronic inflammation and fatigue
Digestive issues
Hormonal imbalances
Anyone tired of guessing what their body needs

💊 2. Pharmacogenomics Testing (PGx)

What it is:Not all drugs work the same for everyone. Pharmacogenomics testing analyzes how your genes affect the way your body metabolizes medications. This is crucial in psychiatry, pain management, cardiology, and beyond.

We look at:

CYP450 enzyme pathways
Drug sensitivity or resistance
Metabolizer status (slow, normal, or rapid)
Risk for side effects or toxicity

Use cases:

Picking the right antidepressant, pain medication, or blood pressure med—the first time
Avoiding adverse drug reactions
Reducing polypharmacy risk in complex cases

Who it’s for:

Patients with mental health conditions
Chronic pain patients
People on multiple meds
Patients frustrated by trial-and-error prescribing

🧬 3. Epigenetic Testing

What it is:Unlike DNA, your epigenome does change. It reflects how your life—your food, your sleep, your stress, your toxic exposures—are influencing how your genes are being turned on or off.

We measure:

Biological age
Inflammation score
Memory, eye, and hearing “age”
Detox capacity through methylation patterns

Why it matters:Epigenetic testing helps us see how well your current health plan is working. Are you aging faster or slower than your birth certificate suggests? Are your inflammation levels improving? This is your biohacking dashboard.

Best for:

Anti-aging and longevity seekers
Functional and integrative medicine patients
Anyone making big lifestyle shifts and wanting proof it's working
