The physician, who ignores the person, fails the patient,
A physician who too often gets angry loses his patients.

The preservation of our health is a duty to us, our family, and our country and to God. Personalized Medicine is a type of medicine; Dr. Fortier-Bensen has been practicing for fifteen years.
Functional Genomics are the evaluation and study of the interactions of your genes and the environment. They can be used to help with proactive risk assessment, help you decide if you have inherited a series of genes that may be the harbinger of chronic disease in your family and helps with functional medicine evaluation of patients refractory to treatments. Biointervention is the understanding of genomics of an individual, and the use of lifestyle changes, diet, and nutritional support to improve the ability of avoiding the possibility of chronic disease. The results of the tests can explain why certain patients have not been able to be optimally healthy.

The idea of biochemical individuality is the core of Integrative Medicine and its effects are seen in Functional Genomics.

Predictive Genomics is useful because it identifies certain inborn errors of metabolisms that will have the likelihood of that person developing a particular disease or functional imbalance when he or she is exposed to a certain diet or environmental factors. A strategy to avoid this person’s fatal flaws then can be programmed into a lifestyle.

So far what we have spoken about is esoteric to most patients.
