Hello there!
I am glad you decided to stop by!
I am a Clinical Pharmacist and also practice as a Certified Pharmacogenomic & Nutrigenomic Pharmacist. As you navigate through our website, I hope you understand and realize how Pharmacogenomics(PGx) and Nutrigenomics (NGx) can serve to solve an important piece of information in your health.
I have worked in community pharmacy for couple of years and yes with big chains too! I see so many people everyday with diverse backgrounds & with various multiple chronic disease states BUT everyone reported ONE common issue: medication related problems! Getting the right answers for your patients isn’t a quick and simple process. But, I got there! How?
(How I did this: I was first introduced to this field when one of my close family members was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and finding the right medications at the right dose was challenging for many years until we got the DNA testing done. Everything changed and quality of life improved with psychotherapy. After so many years of being in the industry, I FINALLY found my answer in Pharmacogenomics (pharmaco-genomics). This was my “Aha!” moment! This field of Precision Medicine can tell a person how are they metabolizing medications and that just with the help of a simple cheek swab or a saliva sample! My friend & mentor made me realize how much we have progressed in testing all these years and the labs are now much more efficient and affordable!
The goal of PGx is to provide the RIGHT medication for the RIGHT person the FIRST time! Saves so much time and money!
My Passion for Pharmacogenomics, brought me where I am today. Helping my community where we can know what medications work for your body based on your genetic makeup!! PGx truly gave me an insight of how important piece of the puzzle it is for someone’s health i.e solving medication related problems. Behind the scenes, I am also working hard on making my community understand how our Nutrition, Genes and Health are related.

OUR VISION
Making a small difference in lives of everyone we interact with in order to emphasize the significance and connection between genetic variants and the daily drugs and food you consume!
OUR MISSION
Empower and Educate people and providers!
We create evidence based treatment and nutritional recommendations based on your genetic profile so you can achieve the outcomes you are looking for.
our approach
We don’t believe in ONE size fit all approach. We all are unique! As fingerprints are unique to every individual, our genes are too!
Most of the genes are similar in all of us but less than 1% of the total genome are unique and these contribute to genetic variability. Genes not only define the distinctive characteristics such as hair, eye color, eye lashes, height etc but they also play an important role in determining how our bodies metabolize (process) medications which in turn is critical to achieve maximum therapeutic outcomes.
Additionally, genetic variants assist us in figuring out the proper foods and nutrients that our bodies require to stay active and healthy!
