Are Your Medications Working Against You?
For millions of patients taking multiple prescription medications,
the reality is frustrating and sometimes dangerous:
Medications That Don't Work
You're taking medications as prescribed, but you're still experiencing symptoms. Your treatment seems ineffective despite your doctor's best efforts.
Troubling Side Effects
You're experiencing difficult side effects that make daily life challenging. The medication that should be helping you is creating new problems instead.
Endless Trial-and-Error
You've been through multiple medication changes, each with its own adjustment period and potential complications. The process feels random and exhausting.
What if you could take some of the guesswork out of medication changes or new prescriptions before you spend weeks trying what "might" work?
I can help you do that.

Stories From People Just Like You
Hear how pharmacogenetic testing has transformed medication experiences for our patients.
Drew
Client with Cardiovascular Disease
Although I exercised, and took good care of myself, I learned at an annual doctor's visit that my cholesterol was elevated, and I had blockages in my arteries. My physician recommended medication. After a year of taking the prescription, I learned that my cholesterol had not dropped much, and my physician suggested doubling my dose without checking to see if my body was able to process the prescribed medication. Instead of waiting for another year, hoping to get results, I ordered pharmacogenetic testing. My health care team now uses my test results to customize medications that work with my body, not just guessing to see if a prescription may or may not work for me.
Laura
Client with Anxiety & Depression
I spent several years trying different antidepressants and didn't feel like the medications I was taking were helping. If anything, I felt "different", not myself, and was wired, anxious, and couldn't sleep. I was also not improving. My therapist referred me to Lee, and I finally learned why certain medications were not working well for me, and equally as important, why I needed different dosing from what is "standard." Having the right meds for me, at the right dose, has definitely improved a lot, and given me back my quality of life. I'm sleeping better, my anxiety is lower, and I look forward to the day most of the time. I feel like my treatment is matched to me instead of feeling like a failure because most meds were not previously working.
Jennifer R.
Client: Post Surgical Vomiting & Pain
After a major abdominal surgery I expected to feel rough and have pain the first day. What I wasn't expecting was to wake up with violent waves of nausea and vomiting. The medications that I was given were not helping to get it under control. I was scared, in so much pain and afraid of opening my incisions from the vomiting. I later learned, after I had pharmacogenetic testing, that the medications used weren't effective for me, based upon my DNA results. In the future, if I ever need surgery again, my doctor and medical team can choose medications that will help me heal, not leave me miserable, in pain, and afraid to move.

Everything You Need to Know
Find answers to our most commonly asked questions about pharmacogenetic testing.
How accurate is pharmacogenetic testing?
Our testing has over 99% accuracy for detecting genetic variations that affect medication processing. The laboratory utilizes advanced genotyping technology and rigorous quality control measures to ensure reliable results.
How soon will I receive my results?
Once your sample arrives at our laboratory, results are typically available within 10-12 business days. You'll receive an email notification when your report is ready to view in your secure online portal.
Will this test tell me if I have genetic diseases?
No. This test specifically analyzes genes related to medication processing, not disease risk or carrier status. We only examine genetic variations that affect how your body processes medications.
Is the sample collection process difficult?
Not at all. The sample collection involves a simple, painless cheek swab that takes only minutes to complete. Detailed instructions are included with your kit, and our support team is available if you need assistance.
Can I use my HSA/FSA account to pay for this?

You May Be Wondering...
"Is this really scientifically proven?"
Absolutely. Pharmacogenetic testing is based on well-established scientific research. The FDA has recognized the importance of genetic factors in medication response and has updated many medication labels to include pharmacogenetic information. Our testing methodology follows rigorous clinical guidelines and is supported by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies.
"Will my doctor use these results?"
Yes. We provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand reports that are designed specifically for healthcare providers to use in clinical decision-making. Many doctors are increasingly recognizing the value of pharmacogenetic information. Your report includes specific, actionable recommendations that your doctor can easily incorporate into your treatment plan.
"Is my genetic data kept private?"
We take your privacy extremely seriously. Your genetic information is protected by multiple layers of security and is never sold or shared with third parties. Our testing complies with all HIPAA regulations, and you maintain complete ownership of your genetic data. We only analyze genes related to medication processing—not health conditions or other sensitive information.
"What if I'm already taking medications that work?"
Even if your current medications seem effective, you might still be experiencing subtle side effects or not achieving optimal results. Pharmacogenetic testing can help confirm you're on the right medications or potentially identify even better options. Additionally, the results remain valid for life and can guide any future medication decisions for new conditions or treatments.
"How long are the results valid?"
Your genetic profile doesn't change throughout your lifetime, so the results of your pharmacogenetic test will remain valid for life. This makes it an excellent long-term investment in your health.
