Proactive Wellness: Using Genetics to Stay Ahead of Your Health

Even if you feel healthy and have no known family history of disease, your genes still hold valuable information. A Proactive Wellness Consult can help you understand your genetic predispositions and make choices that keep you healthy for years to come.

What Is Proactive Wellness?

Proactive wellness uses genetic insights to guide your health decisions before problems arise. Think of it as a roadmap for staying ahead of potential risks. This consult is especially helpful for:

• Healthy individuals curious about genetic risks

• People with little or no known family history, including adoptees

• Those who want to use lifestyle and preventive care to reduce future risk

What Can You Expect?

During your consult, we will:

• Review your personal and family history

• Discuss genes that may influence your risk for conditions like heart disease, cancer, or metabolic issues

• Explore lifestyle, screening, and preventive strategies tailored to your genetic information

• Provide guidance that is practical and easy to apply

Why It Matters

Genetic information is not destiny. It is a tool. By knowing your predispositions early, you can:

• Take preventive steps to reduce risk

• Make informed choices about screenings and lifestyle

• Gain peace of mind knowing you are actively protecting your health

  
  

A Proactive Wellness Consult at Empower Genetics helps you use your genes as a guide, not a prediction, so you can make confident, informed choices for your future.
