WE KNOW that genetic differences make each of us unique. The differences in our DNA can change the building blocks of our bodies – proteins – and this is why many treatments that work on some people are ineffective or can cause serious side effects in others.
So how can we determine what’s best for our own individual circumstances when we’re choosing what to eat or how and when to exercise? How can we help our physicians choose the best clinical treatments for us? Is there a way to test lifestyle choices and medical treatments before we try them out to find our best options?
