A Look at Personalized Medicine
An experienced radiologist based in Los Gatos, California, Dr. Sepideh Moayed guides Preventative Medicine, Inc., with an emphasis on holistic and individualized care. Knowledgeable about personalized medicine, Dr. Sepideh Moayed uses state of the art and award winning laboratories such as Vibrant, Genomind and Genova laboratories for her patients. When it comes to mental health medication optimization and drug-drug and drug-gene interactions, Dr. Moayed uses Genomind to make sure patients metabolize and respond optimally to their prescribed meds. These gene-drug interactions can help patients reduce or discontinue many medications that are no longer beneficial to their overall health. When it comes to personalized health optimization, Dr. Moayed uses laboratories such as Vibrant and Genova Laboratories to look for chronic inflammation, microbiome mapping, chronic infections and autoimmune manifestations. Personalized medicine is an approach to preventing and treating disease that takes into consideration a person’s genes, environment, and lifestyle factors. Representing a multidimensional approach to patient care, personalized medicine enables physicians to choose therapies based on a patient’s genetic profile. Personalized medicine allows physicians to not only diagnose and treat a disease, but also detect it in its early stages. Through genetic testing, they can determine whether a patient has a predisposition to a particular disease. For instance, if a patient is identified through genetic testing as being at high risk for diabetes, a physician can undertake preventive measures such as prescribing certain medications or recommending lifestyle modifications to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. Genetic tests can be used to predict a diagnosis and monitor the condition. Personalized medicine can enable physicians to identify the genes for diabetes, as well as obesity, which is the chief risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes. Physicians can then allocate resources to detect or prevent diabetes and obesity phenotypes in individuals who are at high risk due to their genotype. As a result, they can identify suitable therapies and determine an appropriate dosage. Science has clearly demonstrated that one’s genetic make-up is only 10% of the equation and that 90% is the translation of these genes, the microbiome, the metabolome and other environmental factors. Personalized medicine allows an individual to receive a revolutionary kind of care so as to align their genetics with their life style and make appropriate changes so as to delay the onset of chronic diseases.
