Top 40 Countdown: Genes That All Practitioners Should Know

​Overview: Genetic testing is a popular addition to many root cause practices; however, many practitioners do not know how to prioritize the information. In this lecture, we will go through 40 of the most influential genes that can help practitioners create personalized care plans. From vitamin deficiencies to food sensitivities, our genes control how we respond to our nutrition. They also determine our propensity for symptoms, such as anxiety, poor detoxification, and inflammation. Join us on August 7th for this deep dive into specific genes, as Dr. Hailey Arnold, DC gets us comfortable with using genetic testing in every type of practice.

​Learning Objectives: In this class, attendees can expect to learn about the top 40 genes that play a crucial role in patient outcomes. The genes can be divided into several broad topics - food sensitivities (gluten/dairy), fat and carbohydrate metabolism (what really is your perfect diet for weight loss), vitamin and mineral deficiencies, inflammation potential, detoxification concerns, and neurotransmitter metabolism. We will discuss how to use genetic testing to get a better understanding of weight loss, gut health, mental health, and wellness, and each practitioner will walk away with the knowledge to create tailor-made care plans for patients.
