GENOMIC MEDICINE AND GENETICS

In genomic and genetic medicine we know that our genetic code is unique and personal. A genomic analysis can detect alterations that may lead to the risk of disease.

Knowing these alterations, we can act epigenetically; that is, we can work with the elements that are capable of influencing the genetic material . Such as food, emotions or environmental factors.

We do this with a simple saliva or blood test. We study the lymphocytes – a type of white blood cell – and detect polymorphisms or small variations in the genetic material. Thus, we can know the predisposition to get sick and, consequently, prevent diseases . At the same time, it allows us to personalize the guidelines in nutrition, physical exercise, stress management, supplementation, etc…

Here are some examples:

If someone is born with a polymorphism in one or more estrogen metabolism genes, he or she will have difficulties in estrogen metabolism or elimination. And she will be more predisposed to suffer from fibroids, endometriosis, cysts, premenstrual syndromes …. In this case, I design a treatment plan that favors the elimination of estrogens. Thus, it greatly improves the quality of life of patients and avoids future problems.
If the genetic variation is in genes that favor thrombi, such as pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), a personalized plan will be established to avoid them.
If the affected genes are those that help eliminate stress hormones, it will be very likely that you may suffer more anxiety, depression, panic attacks…
If the affected genes affect your endogenous antioxidant system, you may age faster. In this case, it is very important to make an action plan to improve the antioxidant system. We already know how oxidative stress is behind most health problems. The good news is that there are tools to help.

To prevent these and many other situations, with genomic and genetic medicine I will recommend what you should avoid, what type of diet is more advisable, what micronutrients are essential, what type of exercise is more appropriate, how to reduce stress, how to have a good night’s sleep…

Importantly, genomic and genetic medicine offers an innovative and proactive perspective on disease prevention and treatment. By understanding how our genetic characteristics influence our health, we can take targeted and personalized preventive measures to optimize our long-term well-being. At Bhital, we provide you with the tools and support you need to make the most of the potential of genomic and genetic medicine in your life.
